HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Colostrum Powder by DC
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
Partial disclosure
This powder contains 2 active ingredients. Lactoferrin is a protein naturally found in milk and other body fluids; it plays a role in immune and iron-related functions.
IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) is another naturally occurring protein involved in growth and development. Colostrum — the nutrient-rich first milk produced after birth — serves as the source for these compounds.
There are no added inactive ingredients (fillers or binders) in this product.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for lactoferrin in this product is mixed. It's possibly effective for sepsis and pregnancy-related iron deficiency.
However, for fetal and premature infant mortality and necrotizing enterocolitis (a serious bowel condition in newborns), the data suggest it's likely ineffective. We hold no effectiveness data for IGF-1.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lactoferrin is generally well tolerated at typical doses, though long-term safety studies of high quality are limited. At higher doses around 7.2 grams daily, side effects become more common and may include diarrhea, constipation, anorexia (loss of appetite), fatigue, and chills.
In newborns, rare cases of jaundice, bloody stool, bowel obstruction, and intestinal perforation have been reported. In pregnancy, some research exists but safety isn't fully established — use only with medical supervision.
While lactoferrin occurs naturally in breast milk, the safety of supplements during breastfeeding hasn't been well studied.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check. However, we hold no interaction data for IGF-1, so check your medications through the search tool on this page before you start.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're considering this for sepsis or pregnancy-related iron deficiency under medical guidance, the evidence suggests it may help. Because safety data for long-term use and for IGF-1 are incomplete, talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting — especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or giving it to an infant.
