Colostrum is the first milk produced by mammals, including humans, in the initial days after giving birth. It’s a thick, yellowish fluid that provides essential nutrients, antibodies, and immune factors to newborns.
Colostrum is rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antibodies, offering vital support to a newborn’s immune system and helping in the development of their digestive system.
It acts as a natural defense against infections and provides essential nourishment until the mother’s milk supply fully transitions to mature milk.
