Bovine Colostrum Supplements: Special Concerns

If you are lactose intolerant or a vegetarian you may be concerned about taking colostrum supplements. Colostrum is not like regular milk and contains little to no traces of lactose. A majority of users do not report a problem with lactose concerns. Colostrum has been used for centuries in India by Ayurvedic physicians and as part of their vegan diet, making it safe and appropriate for vegetarians to consume.
