Whether you’re a mom or not you’ve probably heard of colostrum. (Thanks TikTok.) But in case you need a refresher colostrum also known as “liquid gold” in the baby world is the milk that mammals produce in the first few days after birth. Yellow-gold in color and thicker than liquid milk colostrum is packed with nutrients to support growth and development as well as antibodies and antimicrobials (the good guys needed to build and support the immune system).
