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. If you’re interested in this, please explore the Wim Hof method.

Gut health is likely the best reason for this product since stomach acids destroy most of the antibody benefits 😕. The vanilla, which I’m using, smells great but has no real flavor. The quality is undeniable. This brand is high quality.

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 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 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

Great product to help keep the gut healthy

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

I began taking this about 3 weeks ago in an effort to help ongoing GI issues that I've had for over 12 years. I was never breast-fed as a child, and often sick, which prompted round after round of antibiotics early in life. While I believe these two facts set the stage for my future woes, my real digestive troubles began while I was vegan and a professional vegan pastry chef. Perhaps I developed a sensitivity to soy, or perhaps I tasted one too many of my cinnamon rolls. :) Whatever straw broke the camel's back, sometime in 2004 I developed massive reactions to almost all carbohydrates, and have suffered with SIBO, what seems to be FODMAPS intolerance, bloating, headaches, constant fatigue, joint pain, fibromyalgia and depression, ever since. My vegan diet shifted to a raw vegan diet, to a macrobiotic diet, to a low carb vegan diet, to gradually including raw goat dairy and eggs. I've gone through round after round of herbal antibiotic treatments and natural anti-inflammatories, trying to calm what doctors showed to be numerous autoimmune disease red flags. I even minored in herbal medicine, attempting to find a natural solution somewhere between diet and holistic antidotes. Relief came in bursts, but would quickly disappear. This colostrum is the closest thing I've come to constant relief. I take 1 Tbsp in about 6 ounces of water first thing in the morning, and last thing before bed. I felt my energy stabilize by about the second day. I actually wake up in the morning and feel like I've slept. I honestly feel as if my mood swings have stabilized, like the feeling of always running on empty that could quickly push me into being very reactionary has subsided a great deal. I feel more collected as a whole, and my headaches have gone away. My joint pain has decreased so much that I'm back to doing yoga 3 or 4 times a week, something I had stopped over the past 3 years due to my ongoing pain. My bloating has diminished so much that I am shocked to be able to eat healthy high-fiber foods like raw salads that I normally could not without looking 5 months pregnant. It has only been a few weeks, but I plan on continuing taking at least this current bag of Colostrum LD along with one more, and will report back if the benefits begin to subside. I have not gotten any bloodwork since I began taking it, so can't report on if my autoimmune antibodies have actually decreased, but I feel so much better that I would guess at least some of the decreased inflammation has to be measurable. For now, I am very thankful and happy to say this product has been of great help to me. I almost feel as good as I did before I broke my stomach living on antibiotics, vegan hot dogs, and soy cream pies for all those years!
