Colostrum Capsules vs. Powder: What You Need to Know

Colostrum-LD® from Sovereign Laboratories is a bovine colostrum supplement available in both capsule and powder forms. The supplement has been shown to help promote immune health regardless of how it is consumed. However, there are notable differences between Colostrum-LD® in capsule and powder forms, and understanding how each type of bovine colostrum performs can help an individual make an informed purchase decision.

So, which is better: Colostrum-LD® as a capsule or powder? To find out, let’s examine both types of Colostrum-LD® in detail.

Benefits of Colostrum Capsules

First and foremost, taking a capsule is easy and convenient for most people, especially those who are accustomed to taking daily vitamins. Colostrum-LD® in capsule form begins its action once it reaches the gut, and the supplement’s liposomal delivery (LD) system ensures maximum effectiveness at the cellular level.

The LD system is available in Colostrum-LD® products, and it helps keep colostrum bioactives intact as they travel to the stomach. The result of LD: the colostrum bioactives in Colostrum-LD® seamlessly travel through the stomach and into the remainder of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and large intestine for optimal effectiveness.

Benefits of Colostrum Powder

As a powder, Colostrum-LD® can be incorporated into cold or room-temperature water…To maintain optimal effectiveness, however, Colostrum-LD® in powder form should not be mixed with hot tea or coffee; in other words, don’t use it like creamer Hot drinks can damage the bioactive components of Colostrum-LD®, thereby limiting the supplement’s effectiveness.

Colostrum-LD® in powder form begins its action instantly in the mouth, before traveling down the esophagus, through the stomach, and into the small intestine.

The powder form of Colostrum-LD® comes in vanilla and regular flavors and may be preferable for people who want to increase their water intake. Most people find that Colostrum-LD® leaves a pleasant aftertaste, but it may take others a little while to get accustomed to the taste.

Which Form of Colostrum Should You Choose?

There is a lot to like about Colostrum-LD® in both capsule and powder forms. Both forms of Colostrum-LD® contain components like immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, lysozyme, colostrum polypeptides, and growth factors. Colostrum-LD® also is intended for daily use by adults of all ages, children, and even pets.

On the other hand, there are many factors to consider when evaluating both forms of Colostrum-LD®, such as:

Convenience: People who are frequently on the go but want to take Colostrum-LD® every day may benefit from colostrum capsules over colostrum powder. Colostrum-LD® capsules can easily be transported in a pill case, and as such, help ensure that an individual can include Colostrum-LD® as part of his or her everyday diet.

Absorption: In a powder form, Colostrum-LD® is absorbed as soon as a person consumes it. Thus, an individual may start to experience the benefits of Colostrum-LD® more quickly when it is consumed in a powder form.
Taste: The taste of Colostrum-LD® can make a world of difference for individuals of all ages. People who want a tasteless form of colostrum may prefer Colostrum-LD® capsules over Colostrum-LD® powder.

Let’s not forget about the ability to consume a capsule form of Colostrum-LD®, either. For people who struggle to consume capsules, the powder form of Colostrum-LD® may prove to be the better option.

The Bottom Line on Colostrum Capsules and Colostrum Powder

People who are considering Colostrum-LD® for bovine colostrum supplementation should first consult with a doctor. This enables an individual to determine if colostrum supplementation is a good option based on his or her health requirements. Next, an individual can choose between colostrum capsules and colostrum powder — or even try both.
