Sovereign Laboratories Colostrum-LD Liposomal Delivery - Colostrum Powder - Gluten-Free, Lactose-Reduced - 90 Servings 16oz Plain

I have thyroid disease and major problems with Leaky Gut. Including multiple food sensitivities. If a food is high in calories, I probably have a sensitivity against it. I can’t gain weight because of this. I’ve been taking sovereign colostrum for about 6 weeks. I didn’t notice any benefits until after 3 weeks. This had made a bigger difference by far than anything else I’ve tried. And I also take bone broth everyday amongst other things. I’ve slowly been adding back in foods I couldn’t handle before. So happy I found sovereign colostrum, I believe this is the most powerful tool in the toolbox for Leaky gut. If you suffer from it, this is the best $80 a month you will spend. Important: Take it on an empty stomach. Plenty of water! Edit: I’ve been unable to wean myself off this product without a relapse in symptoms. I can’t understand why this product isn’t covered by health insurance. Update: I’ve discovered something else equally important for healing leaky gut, and it makes colostrum work better. Spore based probiotics or soil based probiotics, take it once a day! Warning DO NOT buy Codeage brand SBO probiotic, it is contaminated with heavy metal!! Instead try to find a 100% spore based probiotic. I’ve been experimenting with probiotics. Its worth mentioning Good Belly probiotic drink (gluten free one) is a good choice. Helpful to get rid of Bloating. Update: To prevent a leaky gut increase your stomach acid! Get Betaine HCL 650 mg with Pepsin. Take 2 or 3 at the beginning of every meal. Digest your food again. Prevent undigested food from causing a leaky gut Update: For probiotics I’ve found these strains to be the most helpful for healing Leaky Gut. Seek them out, I'll include a brief description and benefits of each. Saccharomyces boulardii - Unique species of probiotic yeast that fights disease-causing organisms in the gut, prevents diarrhea, and aids general digestion. Helps seal your gut lining, modulates the immune system, and decreases inflammation. Lactobacillus plantarum - Found in kimchi, sauerkraut, and other cultured vegetables, this bug is one of the most beneficial bacteria in your body. It survives in the stomach for a long time and performs many functions that help regulate immunity and control inflammation in the gut. It also helps fortify the gut lining, fending off potential invaders that might compromise the intestinal wall and sneak into the bloodstream. In fact, L. plantarum’s beneficial impact on the gut lining is perhaps its most important attribute, for it reduces gut permeability, thereby reducing the associated risks for leaky gut—including an increased risk for virtually every brain disorder. Moreover, L. plantarum can quickly digest protein, and this has the ultimate effect of preventing food allergies and even treating such allergies when they arise. Its been shown in experimental animal studies to protect engineered mice from having clinical symptoms of multiple sclerosis and even reduce the inflammatory response typical of that condition. Finally, L. plantarum has an uncanny ability to absorb and maintain important nutrients such as brain-friendly omega- 3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. All of these actions make L. plantarum essential for fighting infection and taking control of any pathogenic bacteria. **David Perlmutter Bacillus subtilis - Produces Nattokinase, Vitamin K2, and over 12 potent antibiotics for fighting bacteria and improved immune development. Increases short-chain fatty acid production, a key component for boosting your metabolism and weight loss, by up to 40%, Help treat gut infections like SIBO, Candida, and parasites. Bacillus coagulans - Produces L+ optical form of lactic acid and is often prescribed to patients needing acute immune support. Decreases abdominal pain and bloating symptoms caused by IBS (irritable Bowel Syndrome), Used to treat Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease. Update: This last piece of advice is theoretical, but I believe you can accelerate the healing of Leaky Gut by incorporating deep breathing exercises into your routine.

I absolutely LOVE this product! I reluctantly spent the $79 (12 oz) but am SO GLAD I DID! I'm currently taking the recommended dosing for people with chronic conditions which is 1 Tbsp 3x daily. The morning and noon doses are taken 30 minutes before eating, and the P.M. dose is taken two hours after dinner or 30 minutes before bedtime. I plan to continue this schedule and regime for the first 4 weeks. Colostrum-LD is wonderful. I cannot tell you enough good things about this product. On day 3, I work up with refreshed, renewed energy. I really couldn't believe it. I had energy to do more housecleaning in that one day than I'd done combined in the past 6 months! Unfortunately, I overdid the day's activities and was quite sore the next day, but still it was worth it. About me: I am 57 yo, in general good health with a very healthy lifestyle and nutritional intake. I am a vegetarian and eat whole foods and organics about 99% of the time. Athough I enjoy overall good health, I've been suffering from fibromyalgia for almost 15 years. I am not on any pain meds or other big pharma drugs and rely solely on supplements and daily activity and light exercise to cope with the pain. Colostrum-LD has already made such a positive difference! I've been reading about colostrum's fantastic health effects overall. I also learned that there are only about three top-rated colostrum products, and Sovereign Laboratories is one of them. Primarily touted for leaky gut syndrome, which causes a host of illnesses and ailments, colostrum just seemed like something I should try (ergo the reluctance to test drive a nutraceutical for 79 bucks). I'm now completing my first week on it (at the higher dose mentioned above) and absolutely will not give it up. The healing benefits I've already noticed, aside from the higher levels of sustained energy, are a clearing complexion (adult acne drives me nuts!), healing patchy eczema on the bottoms of my feet, and overall better attitude toward each and every day! I no longer wake up and wonder how I'm going to get through all the chores and responsibilities of the day ahead. I sleep very well; however, I still take an herbal sleep remedy such as Valerian Root, Calm Forte or Lemon Balm Extract. I plan to give up the sleep remedy after two weeks, as well as my regular remedies for fatigue. I believe that Colostrum-LD is healing my body from the inside out. In summary, do your homework and research then choose a quality colostrum product like this one. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Ok, so let me say first I have not been offered anything for this feedback because I have always wondered that myself when I look at reviews on Amazon. I will give feedback now as it as only been 9 days and then I will come back and update. I had taken a few medrol(prednilosone) packs for some tendon and shoulder issues I was having on and off for about 2 years. In that time, I probably took it 5 or 6 times and all the doctors said it was no big deal, even though I was worried. Turned out, it wreaked havoc on my digestive system. I also have really bad weakness in my extremities now as well as equilibrium issues, but that could be from the stomach issue not sure. A nutritionist told me that my body was probably not absorbing the nutrients and water I was drinking as he has seen that happen in people that have an organic diet as their bodies are too clean to handle it. I have been gluten free, dairy free, white processed sugar free and non gmo for years. Turned out all my blood tests were good, however, after doing an endoscopy ,my stomach is inflamed, but no bacteria or ulcer which is good news. I also have a light sprained ankle and tendonitis in my glutes and hip area so I am not feeling well at all and because of that was having trouble sleeping as well. So, I am on day 9 of taking colostrum LD and my stomach is much better. I am not getting the stomach aches, bloating or burning feeling that I was having about 1 week ago. I am taking 1 tablespoon in the morning and 1 tablespoon at bedtime. Turns out it has helped my insomnia as well because I have not been sleeping very well as opposed to sporadically. Also, the equilibrium is getting better and I believe this is because my stomach is getting better. I am just hoping that the weakness is coming from this stomach thing and that the colostrum LD will take care of that also. The company has been wonderful taking my calls with any questions or concerns. I had to stop all my wonderful supplements and stop eating protein as it was hard to digest and I was getting really weak after I eat and dizzy. Yesterday, I just started adding in protein and I seem to be ok. I am looking forward to how I am going to feel in 4 to 6 weeks which is the time they say it should take to heal . I am hoping it will take away the weakness and help heal my ankle also. I will keep everyone posted. If you are hesitating, don't. I believe this colostrum LD has a lot of healing properties and Yahweh will heal you from the earth. It's natural and healthy! I am feeling much better already when nothing else worked.

I think this is the BEST colostrum out of the several that I've used. I love that they send you their research and that the quality of the product is the highest priority. The packaging is simple, no frills and easy to recycle....looks like this company puts their money into research rather than fancy packaging which, we can all appreciate! I am using this everyday because I am healing leaky gut and an autoimmune disease but, I actually give it to my whole family just to boost their immunity and to be preventative about gut health. My kids are all involved in sports and I've actually noticed their performance improve and their muscle recovery time is essentially zero. They do some quick stretching and some roller massage after a hard practice in addition to taking this but, they really never have sore muscles since starting the colostrum. I love the fact that it is made USA and I am just super impressed with the education that the company provides and love that they put as much of that as possible on the packaging. It's all the important information about a product that I really want to know right there on the bag plus, I received a Vital Health News pamphlet tucked in with my shipment. Based on my research, Sovereign Laboratories is a great company with good ethics and a superior standard for quality and safety. I want to be able to trust what my family is putting in and on their body so, I wouldn't be purchasing from a company with any question of integrity. As a nutritionist, I also don't know anyone that this product wouldn't help! Even if you don't have an acute health issue then, you can still greatly benefit from cycling a bag of this colostrum into your supplement repertoire two or three times per year. If you have or have ever had leaky gut, autoimmune disease, cancer, or are a high performance athlete or are just want to be preventative about aging then, I suggest taking this all the time, except for in times of fast or detox.

I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, IBS, intestinal parasites, Leaky Gut Syndrome, food intolerances, several nutritional deficiencies, absorption issues, low stomach acid, hypoglycemia, tachycardia and PVC’s. I also struggle with very low ferritin and Vitamin D levels and an extremely elevated cortisol level. The quality of my sleep is poor and I wake several times per night. I wake up every morning feeling awful with a pounding heart, dizziness, fatigue, aches and pains and digestive issues. I get painful bloating after each meal and have diarrhea several times per day, despite eating a clean, strict, gut friendly diet. My life has become difficult to navigate due to my health issues. I have seen a few primary care physicians, several functional doctors, a naturopathic doctor, a Rheumatologist and a Gastroenterologist on my quest to regain my health and alleviate my growing list of symptoms. Since I’ve made little progress with the myriad of medications, supplements and herbs I have been prescribed, I’m on a continuous quest to heal myself and get back to embracing life. I’m a firm believer that gut health is indicative of overall health and that digestive issues can cause a variety of other health issues. While doing online digging, I stumbled across the mention of colostrum for digestive issues and Leaky Gut Syndrome and knew immediately that I had to try it. I read several articles about the efficacy of the product and many reviews I read touted it as a game changer for a variety of health issues. I must admit, I was skeptical. I’ve tried so many therapies that promised results, only to be disappointed, broke and still sick. I convinced myself that I had nothing to lose (besides more money) and ordered the Sovereign Labs Colostrum. I’ve been taking the product for exactly one month. The powder dissolves easily in water and has a very pleasant taste. (I ordered the Vanilla flavor.) I started with a very low dose and worked my way up to my current dose of a tablespoon upon waking and a tablespoon before bed. Within the first week, I noticed a measurable improvement in the frequency of my diarrhea. The urgency was also noticeably less and the cramping that often accompanies each of my episodes was much less severe. After the second week, the quality of my sleep improved and my mood and energy levels were better. I’ve even noticed a significant improvement in my skin. I haven’t felt this optimistic about a product and attaining my health goals in a very long time. I plan on continuing this product with the hope that continued use will result in continued improvement. I also plan on slowly increasing the dosage again to see if I can find relief for more of my symptoms. Overall, I feel so lucky to have stumbled across this product.

I just ordered this brand of Colostrum today for the first time. I have been taking Symbiotics for about six months and have seen incredible improvement in memory issues, brain fog, fatigue, gut health, muscle fatigue and pain as well as improved immune health. The weather is changing here in Upstate NY and usually I am very sick by now. I am going to give this brand a try mostly because of the research and devotion the owner has put into his product and in educating the world about Colostrum. What also caught my attention is the conversation he had here with another reviewer where he explained that he spends the money to take all the unnecessary fat out of the product. I feel as though I have gained weight on the Symbiotics brand and I'm wondering if it's due to the fat content. I've read the reviews about how rude he is (and I did experience this as well). However, I contacted him on a Sunday via email and was shocked that he replied right away. It wasn't until I pressed him for more information that I felt he got slightly short...who can blame him if he's responding to emails on a Sunday! Anyway, I suspect this is a superior product than the Symbiotics (you get what you pay for, right?) and I appreciate Doug's ColostrumTherapy.com website very much. For now, I've given it 5 stars just because of all the information that he has freely shared. Will write again once I get and use the product. UPDATE: So I've reordered this for the 3rd time. It's definitely a great product. I just wish they would make it in a more economical size. I take this regularly and have not gotten sick although I've been around several people with nasty colds. My husband has started to get sick twice now and has taken this immediately and not come down with anything. I'm really not sure if it's better than the other brand I was ordering but I have noticed that I'm not gaining weight with this like I was with Symbiotics. Still think it's five stars!

This colostrum product's liposomal delivery system dramatically increases absorption by up to 1500% compared to regular colostrum. While this enhances beneficial compounds, it also significantly increases IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) absorption, as well as other growth factors. IGF-1 is a powerful growth promoter that can trigger cell proliferation and growth throughout the body. Excessive levels of it are linked to the development of many concerns, including prostate, colorectal and breast cancer. Colostrum contains growth factors that help newborn babies grow. Adults consuming these growth factors may cause certain cells to turn on and divide that shouldn't be. This is a product that has NOT been independently studied enough. Many early studies are paid for by the companies interested in profiting from the product and are not legitimate scientific studies. IGF-1 Content & Production: - Adult body typically produces 1-3 mg of IGF-1 per day - Natural bovine colostrum contains approximately 213-938 ng/ml of IGF-1 - Typical colostrum supplements contain around 10-50 ng/ml IGF-1 - Body maintains IGF-1 blood levels around 150-300 ng/ml naturally Known Risks of Elevated IGF-1: - High blood IGF-1 levels (>300 ng/ml) are associated with increased cancer risk - Particularly concerning for hormone-sensitive cancers like breast, prostate - Can potentially accelerate growth of existing tumors - May contribute to benign tissue growth/hyperplasia Warning signs to watch for: - Unusual swelling or tissue changes - New or changing skin growths - Changes in existing moles or growths - Unexplained pain or pressure - Blood sugar changes (IGF-1 affects insulin sensitivity) - Persistent headaches - Vision changes - Joint or bone pain - neurological symptoms Other significant growth factors in liposomal colostrum and their associated risks: TGF-β (Transforming Growth Factor Beta): - Natural levels in colostrum: 10-50 ng/ml - Primary concern: Can promote tissue fibrosis - Known to have dual roles in cancer (both suppression and promotion) - Risk increases with enhanced absorption - Particularly concerning for those with inflammatory conditions EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor): - Natural levels in colostrum: 30-100 ng/ml - Directly stimulates cell proliferation - Associated with tumor growth when elevated - Risk of promoting skin and epithelial tissue growth - Enhanced delivery could overstimulate skin cell production PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor): - Natural levels in colostrum: 1-3 ng/ml - Promotes blood vessel formation - Could potentially support tumor vascularization - Risk of promoting fibrotic conditions - May affect wound healing inappropriately FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor): - Natural levels in colostrum: 1-5 ng/ml - Stimulates blood vessel development - Can promote tissue growth and repair - Risk of uncontrolled cell growth - May affect existing growths

This appears to be helping my elderly cat, and it also helped my housemate to clear up a skin issue (eczema) almost completely overnight. For me, I noticed immediate skin benefits (clarity/plumping/firming) and stomach benefits (i.e. bowel regularity/ no bloating)---even some slimming effects in the stomach and back waist area for about two days. Sounds like a winner, right? All from only taking 1/8 of a teaspoon at night before bed with water. (I initially took it during the day and felt fatigued (maybe a little detox happening?) so switched to before bed. ) Along with the benefits I noticed immediately the day after the first dose, I also noticed a cramping/low back ache feeling along with sore, swollen breasts like I was about to have a menstrual cycle. At my age with irregular cycles leading up to menopause, this is a tell-tale sign for me there is a hormonal effect. Additionally, that wonderful slimming effect that initially occurred around my waist was short-lived. I began to gain weight all over---possibly bloat? This feeling continued and by day 5 or 6, I began a full-on menstrual cycle which I have not had in many months. Because I had read that this happened to another reviewer and hers went on and on, I decided to stop taking the colostrum so that hopefully the cycle would run its usual 5 day course and not go on and on like it did for her. That is what happened. I also noticed an uptick in hair loss during that week. I share this particular aspect of my experience so that other women (particularly middle-aged) can be aware of what might be happening if she experiences the same. (Maybe it is just my ignorance about this product though I searched online everywhere about the effects of colostrum, but I was not expecting this sort of thing to occur.) It might be possible for me to just take a pinch --not even the mere 1/8 teaspoon I was taking--because I did like the benefits I mentioned. BUT the hair loss, that was starting to get scary. I am dealing with hypothyroid (take low dose of armour thyroid) so am very attune to what my hair is doing as far as staying or going. I am not sure if I am prepared to attempt to navigate the continued hormonal effect this products seems to have on me without a doctor or multiple saliva hormone tests which are expensive since my insurance doesn't cover them. I really wanted to benefit from this product as so many others seem to have. Like the other reviewer who had a similar experience, besides using this for my cat and/ or sharing it with others who are not hormonally sensitive, this does wonders as a face/skin mask----just mix with water and make it watery to smooth onto skin. The sun damage on my left arm (from I suspect the sun coming through the car window during my long commute daily) will be the next area I try this on. Again, I want to be clear that I truly was only taking 1/8 of a teaspoon at night so that all may be aware that this is a potent product. It might be a good idea to start out below the recommended dosage and work your way up.

its been about 3 weeks since I started taking this, 1 teaspoon on an empty stomach in the morning and 1 tsp at night before going to bed. I am starting to feel more energy and I don’t crave sugar at night like I normally do. I’ve suffered with acid reflux for about 7 years, I tried to stop taking my pills for 3 days to see if this would help but unfortunately it has not. Maybe with continued use I will see some improvement with that. Overall I am satisfied with this product and will continue to use it.

The Sovereign Colostrum LD is a very effective product. I have been using it to treat digestive issues and I have found it to relieve a lot of my issues. The quality and effectiveness of this product is highly recommended.

Sovereign Laboratories is very thorough with their follow up, sending articles and scientific research to back their claims. I had some questions which they answered promptly. It's been a month since I've been on the product and I've started noticing my immune system is improving. I'm not getting outbreaks and I had annoying pain that has since disappeared. Because of my health challenges, instead of the two teaspoons daily, I take two tablespoons. I tried another brand sold in Canada that was effective, but very expensive for a small bottle. Prior to purchasing Colostrum LD, I had researched other brands, checking out videos on YouTube and decided to go with this brand. Doug Wyatt, the founder of SL, conducted extensive and thorough research on colostrum and this sold me.There are so many supportive ingredients, nutrients, minerals, that you can get rid of a lot of your supplements. I highly recommend this product.

I'm taking it slowly with this as i felt some effect with my first dose. Dissolved instantly, tastes pleasant. I would say from my experience you get your money's worth with this product. updated: love this stuff. even at one tsp. per day in mornings, i no longer get indigestion; or acid stomach or diarhea. Will also attempt to use to use as a topical skin treatment for my skin issues.

Wow. After just 2 weeks my gut health has improved & i feel great. Definitely will purchase again.
