Bovine Colostrum powder instantized

Instantised Bovine Colostrum Powder – 20% IgG

Wholesale Health Food Instantised Bovine Colostrum Powder is a premium dairy-derived ingredient produced from nutrient-rich bovine colostrum collected during the first day after calving.

The powder contains a minimum of 60% protein and 20% immunoglobulin G (IgG) on a dry basis. It also naturally contains amino acids, lactoferrin, milk oligosaccharides and other bioactive components found in bovine colostrum.

This reduced-fat colostrum is pasteurised and processed using controlled temperatures and low-pressure methods before being spray-dried using indirect steam. This carefully controlled process is designed to preserve the ingredient’s nutritional quality and naturally occurring biological activity.

Sunflower lecithin is added during the instantisation process to improve wetting, dispersibility and solubility, making this colostrum powder easier to incorporate into dry powder blends and beverages.

Suitable for Wholesale and Manufacturing Applications

Instantised Bovine Colostrum Powder may be used in:

• Nutritional powder blends
• Protein powders
• Functional food products
• Sports nutrition products
• Smoothie and beverage mixes
• Dairy-based formulations
• Sachet and single-serve powder products
• Retail-ready powdered supplements
• Food-service applications
• Private-label product development

Customers are responsible for assessing the ingredient’s suitability and regulatory status for their intended application, serving size, claims and destination market.

What Is Bovine Colostrum?

Colostrum is the nutrient-rich first milk naturally produced by mammals immediately after giving birth. It differs from ordinary milk because it naturally contains higher concentrations of protein, immunoglobulins and other bioactive milk components.

Bovine colostrum is collected from cows and carefully processed into a stable powder for use in nutritional products and food formulations. The nutritional requirements of the calf are prioritised before excess colostrum is collected for commercial production.

Naturally Occurring Components

Bovine colostrum naturally contains:

• Immunoglobulins, including IgG
• Lactoferrin and other milk proteins
• Protein and amino acids
• Naturally occurring growth factors
• Milk oligosaccharides
• Vitamins and minerals

The concentration of naturally occurring components may vary between production batches unless specifically standardised in the product specification.

Why Use Instantised Colostrum?

Standard colostrum powder can be difficult to disperse and may form clumps when added to liquid. This product is instantised with sunflower lecithin to improve its wetting and mixing performance.

Benefits for manufacturers and bulk users include:

• Improved dispersibility in liquids
• Easier incorporation into powdered formulations
• Reduced clumping compared with non-instantised powder
• Creamy, characteristic dairy taste
• Minimum 20% IgG specification
• Minimum 60% protein specification
• Suitable for stand-alone or blended products

*Calculated from the minimum dry-basis specifications. Actual finished-product values may vary according to moisture, batch analysis and other formulation ingredients.

Suggested Serving Guidance

For direct consumption, mix approximately 5 g into water, milk, smoothies or another suitable beverage.

For formulation and manufacturing applications, determine the inclusion rate according to:

• Intended IgG contribution
• Desired protein content
• Finished-product serving size
• Sensory requirements
• Applicable food regulations
• Permitted claims in the destination market

Avoid unnecessary exposure to high temperatures during manufacturing, as excessive heat may affect naturally occurring proteins.
