HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Colostrum Gold Unflavored by Kirkman
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
Colostrum Gold Unflavored is a single-ingredient product: bovine colostrum, which is the nutrient-rich fluid that cows produce in the first few days after giving birth. There are no inactive fillers or other ingredients in this formulation.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Bovine colostrum is 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 evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.
The data we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for other uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Bovine colostrum is generally well tolerated in most adults. However, if you have a milk or dairy allergy, you should avoid it.
The safety data during pregnancy is not reliable enough to recommend use without your doctor's approval. During breastfeeding, safety hasn't been well studied, so use caution and talk with your provider before starting.
In clinical trials, a small number of patients reported mild bloating, nausea, diarrhea, and unsettled stomach at a rate similar to those taking a whey-based control. One person with HIV-related cryptosporidiosis experienced nausea and vomiting.
Rarely, elevated liver function tests and decreased blood cell counts have been reported in HIV patients taking bovine colostrum for infectious diarrhea.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for bovine colostrum. Even so, if you take any regular medications, check them against the interaction tool on this page before you start, and confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist that it's safe to add alongside your current regimen.
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.
Colostrum Gold may be worth considering if you're dealing with HIV/AIDS-related diarrhea, rotaviral diarrhea, or exercise-induced respiratory infections, though the evidence is still developing. If you have a dairy allergy, skip it.
Before you start, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any medications, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's right for you.
