Colostrum is a whitish fluid that is released by mammals, which have recently given birth before breast milk development begins. The colostrum is very nutritious and comprises high levels of antibodies that are proteins to fight infections and bacteria. All mammals produce colostrum, and supplements are frequently made from the colostrum of cows, called bovine colostrum. Bovine colostrum supplements have become prevalent in the last few years, as they may fight infection, support immunity, and improve gut health.

The growth in functional foods is expected to offer significant growth opportunities in the colostrum market during the forecast period.
