Shaklee Colostrum: nature’s most complete immune supplement — the first food for immunity
⚡ 60-Second Verdict
Shaklee Colostrum NZ delivers concentrated bovine colostrum at $85.55 NZD (member price). Rich in immunoglobulins, growth factors and lactoferrin — supporting immune defence, gut lining repair and recovery. Particularly valuable for those with frequent illness, gut issues, or high physical demand. 100% money-back.
The original immune supplement
Colostrum was used medicinally before antibiotics — it is the first food produced by mammals to protect newborns from pathogens. Bovine colostrum is highly compatible with human immune function.
Immunoglobulins coat the gut lining
IgA antibodies in colostrum bind to pathogens on the gut mucosal lining — providing first-line defence before they can enter the bloodstream.
Growth factors repair gut lining
IGF-1 and TGF-β in colostrum stimulate repair of gut epithelial cells — supporting intestinal lining integrity in those with increased permeability (leaky gut).
Why bovine colostrum is one of the most scientifically supported immune supplements
Colostrum — the first milk produced by mammals after birth — is the most nutrient and bioactive-dense food in nature. Bovine (cow) colostrum contains 40 times more immunoglobulins than regular milk, plus growth factors, lactoferrin, proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs), lysozyme and over 90 known bioactive compounds. Its immune-supporting properties have been studied for decades.
In New Zealand, colostrum is particularly relevant because NZ dairy cows produce some of the world’s highest-quality bovine colostrum due to pasture-raised, grass-fed conditions. The health benefits extend from immune function and gut lining integrity to exercise recovery and muscle support — making it relevant for athletes, those with frequent illness, and anyone wanting to fortify their first-line immune defences.
Ingredients in Shaklee Colostrum NZ | Immune & Gut Health 120 Caps
Shaklee quality — 350+ point testing standard.
| Ingredient | Role | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Bovine colostrum First-milking | Primary active | First 24-hour post-calving colostrum — highest concentration of immunoglobulins, growth factors and bioactive proteins |
| Immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM) | Immune defence proteins | First-line immune defence — bind to pathogens on gut mucosal surfaces before they enter the bloodstream |
| Lactoferrin | Iron-binding protein, antimicrobial | Binds iron required by pathogens for growth — antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties |
| IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) | Gut repair, muscle support | Stimulates gut epithelial cell repair and supports muscle protein synthesis and recovery |
| TGF-beta | Gut lining integrity | Transforms intestinal tissue healing — reduces gut permeability by stimulating tight junction protein production |
| Proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs) | Immune modulation | Regulate immune response — can both stimulate underactive immunity and modulate overactive immune reactions |
How Shaklee Colostrum NZ | Immune & Gut Health 120 Caps works
Immunoglobulins coat the gut mucosa
IgA antibodies bind to pathogens and toxins on the gut mucosal surface — preventing adhesion and translocation into the bloodstream.
Growth factors repair tight junctions
IGF-1 and TGF-beta activate repair mechanisms in gut epithelial cells — strengthening the tight junctions that prevent leaky gut.
Lactoferrin competes with pathogens
Lactoferrin binds iron in the gut lumen — depriving pathogenic bacteria of the iron they need to reproduce.
PRPs modulate systemic immunity
Proline-rich polypeptides signal through the thymus to regulate T-cell activity — supporting appropriate immune response rather than over- or under-reaction.
