HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Colostrum Plus Powder by Symbiotics
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 Plus Powder has two active ingredients: sodium and colostrum, a blend of immune proteins and nutrients from early milk. The product also contains medium chain triglyceride oil and sunflower lecithin powder as inactive ingredients (fillers and binders that help deliver the actives).
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence data we hold is limited to sodium's uses — it's rated likely effective for cystic fibrosis and possibly effective for kidney damage from amphotericin B (a strong antifungal). For colostrum and its component immunoglobulin, the evidence we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for any condition.
If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually shows for your situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Sodium is well tolerated at normal dietary amounts — the problem is too much. The safety data cautions that excess sodium is linked to high blood pressure, heart strain, and kidney disease in some people.
Very high sodium intake is also tied to higher risk of gastric (stomach) cancer in population studies. Pregnancy and lactation ratings for sodium are mixed in our data: one entry rates it likely safe, another rates it possibly unsafe.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking a sodium supplement if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist before taking this if you're on blood pressure medications, lithium, corticosteroids (steroids), didanosine, sodium phosphate solutions, tolvaptan, or any drug that contains sodium. High sodium can reduce how some of these work or raise your sodium to dangerous levels.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take blood pressure medication, lithium, or any steroid, or if you have heart or kidney disease, you need to check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this — the sodium content may affect how your drugs work. Even if you don't take medications, regular sodium supplements aren't recommended without medical advice.
A pharmacist can help you decide if this is right for you.

Colostrum Plus Powder by Symbiotics Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Colostrum Plus Powder by Symbiotics contains sodium, which interacts with a number of medications.
The biggest concern is with blood pressure drugs (antihypertensives) — high sodium intake can reduce how well they work and may require your doctor to increase the dose to keep your blood pressure controlled.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Sodium also interacts with corticosteroids (steroids like prednisone), lithium, didanosine (an HIV medication), sodium phosphate bowel-prep solutions, tolvaptan (a water-balance medication), and any other sodium-containing drugs. With corticosteroids, there's a risk of high blood sodium (hypernatremia).
With lithium, extra sodium can lower lithium levels and reduce its effect, while cutting sodium can dangerously raise them — your lithium levels need to stay in a narrow window. The didanosine, sodium phosphate, tolvaptan, and sodium-containing drug interactions also carry a risk of high blood sodium.
Altogether, these interactions span 203 individual medications.
Colostrum (the second active ingredient) is a blend of components we list separately, so we've evaluated those. Immunoglobulin is an ingredient we could not check — we hold no interaction data for it.

For each ingredient in Colostrum Plus Powder with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Sodium
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.
Corticosteroids
Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.
Didanosine (Videx)
Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.
Lithium
Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.
Sodium Phosphates
Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Sodium-Containing Drugs
Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Tolvaptan (Samsca)
Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.
