What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Colostrum against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Colostrum by SurThrival
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
SurThrival Colostrum is a single-ingredient product: bovine colostrum, the nutrient-rich fluid that comes from a cow's mammary gland in the first few days after birth. The capsule itself is made from gelatin.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for bovine colostrum is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for HIV/AIDS-related diarrhea and rotaviral diarrhea, and possibly effective for exercise-induced respiratory infections.
For necrotizing enterocolitis (a serious intestinal condition in newborns), the data suggests it's possibly ineffective. The evidence we have on file does not establish whether it works for other uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Bovine colostrum is generally well tolerated in most adults. A small number of people in clinical trials reported mild bloating, nausea, diarrhea, and unsettled stomach — at about the same rate as those taking a whey-based control.
One person with HIV-related cryptosporidiosis experienced nausea and vomiting. Elevated liver function tests and decreased blood cell counts (hematocrit) have been reported in HIV patients being treated for infectious diarrhea, though it's unclear whether colostrum itself caused these changes.
There isn't enough safety data to know how it affects pregnancy, and safety during breastfeeding has not been well studied — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using it in either situation. If you have a milk or dairy allergy, avoid this product.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for bovine colostrum. That said, if you take any medications, use the checker on this page to confirm there are no concerns with your specific drugs.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
SurThrival Colostrum might be worth considering if you're dealing with HIV/AIDS-related or rotaviral diarrhea, or if you're looking to support immunity during heavy exercise — the evidence is modest but points in a positive direction. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a dairy allergy, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Even though no medication interactions are documented, check your exact prescriptions with the tool on this page before you start.
