What is the difference between first milking and transitional colostrums?
The majority colostrum sold on the market is transitional colostrums. Transitional colostrum is harvested 2-3 days after birth. During this phase, colostrums gradually changes into milk. When colostrum moves into the transitional phase, beneficial factors (immune & growth factors) are diluted, and lactose content is high. As such it is not suitable for lactose intolerants. Only the first milking colostrums contains the richest and highest levels of immune and growth factors.
