Frequently Asked Questions
How does Favor source its colostrum? Is it grass-fed?
Favor sources its colostrum from family-owned dairy farms across the Midwest. Our cows have access to outdoor grazing, enjoying fresh air, sunlight, and a diet primarily consisting of nutrient-rich grass and haylage designed by our nutritionist to provide the cows exactly what they need to thrive. During winter, they may also consume nourishing forages like dried grass, hay, or alfalfa, along with smaller quantities of supplemental non-GMO grains. While some companies label their colostrum as "grass-fed," it's important to note that the current supply chain or Colostrum does not provide a grass fed only option. Grass fed is a loose marketing term, meaning cows are not 100% grass-fed. We prioritize transparency and avoid making misleading claims to ensure clarity for our customers. Our products come from farms that provide optimal nutrition for their cows, providing a high-quality source of colostrum. We are committed to delivering the best possible product for your well-being and maintaining honest communication with our customers.
Are Favor colostrum products rBST (rBGH), antibiotic, and hormone-free?
Yes, Favor colostrum is collected from cows that have not been treated with rBST (rBGH). Our colostrum powder is verified to be antibiotic-free.ย
Are your colostrum products certified organic?
No, our products are not sourced from only organic-certified dairies. Organic-certified colostrum is rare due to limited production. If someone claims their colostrum is "organic," it's important to inquire about their supplying herds' National Organic Program (NOP) certification.
Is bovine colostrum lactose-free?
Bovine colostrum contains a lower level of lactose compared to regular dairy products, but it's not entirely lactose-free. Most people tolerate it well, but if lactose is a concern for you, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider.
Are you denying the newborn calf of its colostrum?
No, we prioritize the well-being of the calves. Cows produce much more Colostrum than what a calf needs, they receive two to four liters of colostrum shortly after birth, really as much as they calf wants and the mothers produce more than enough for their needs. In fact farms who do not upcycle their colostrum have to dispose of it as they are not able to sell that extra milk through their dairy coops.
Has Favor colostrum been pasteurized? Is it safe?
Yes, our colostrum is pasteurized at the lowest possible temps to protect its bioactive ingredients. It meets all cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) requirements for safe human consumption. Every batch is third party tested to ensure safety and quality.ย
Do you remove anything from your colostrum, such as fat or lactose?
No, we do not remove fat or lactose from our colostrum. Some products strip the vital fat to manipulate certain label claims, where we keep the vital fat providing a Full-Fat Spectrum Colostrum that gives you all of the benefits of this amazing ingredient.
