Product Review: Bovine Colostrum

Formula

Fernes Bovine Colostrum is sourced from grass-fed, Grade A U.S. dairy farms and collected within 4 to 6 hours of calving (or first-day milking) to maximise bioactive content. The formula emphasises a “whole colostrum” approach, a minimal removal of fat or nutrients, and states inclusion of immunoglobulins (IgG & IgA), growth factors, prebiotics, and amino acids. 

Effects

When used consistently, Fernes Bovine Colostrum is intended to support gut barrier integrity via immunoglobulins & growth factors, immune resilience, and post-workout recovery thanks to its full-spectrum bioactive profile. The whole colostrum claim suggests broader nutrient delivery beyond just IgG. According to the brand, secondary benefits include skin, hair, nail health via improved nutrient absorption and recovery support.

Use

The powder is unflavored and intended to be mixed into water, smoothies or shakes. Liquids should preferably be at cool/room temperature. It is meant to be part of a daily wellness routine. Instructions suggest consistent daily use to benefit from cumulative effects of colostrum. 

Flavor

Since the product is unflavored and characterised as whole colostrum, the taste is described as mild with natural milk or slightly creamy notes. Some users may find the taste neutral and easy to mask in smoothies. Others may notice a slight natural dairy aftertaste and may prefer mixing it with other flavors for easier daily use. The lack of added flavors keeps the label clean, but sensitive users might prefer blending into a flavored drink rather than trying plain water.

Price

Fernes is positioned on the higher end price range for colostrum supplements. This is likely due to the sourcing and claimed third-party testing. This contributes to a higher cost per serving compared with other colostrum powders. For users on a tighter budget or looking for the most cost-efficient option, it’s worth comparing per-serving cost across similar products that offer the same or better benefits.
