High Standards
At kāre, we’re committed to delivering the highest quality colostrum, ensuring that every batch meets rigorous testing standards. Our products are sourced from pasture-raised, grass-fed cows in New Zealand, where dairy farming is strictly regulated under the Ministry for Primary Industries’ Animal Products Act 1999. Each batch undergoes third-party testing to guarantee purity, potency, and consistency, particularly focusing on IgG levels, which play a critical role in immune support. This commitment to transparency and quality ensures that you’re getting a product that is not only effective but also trustworthy.
Ethical & Responsible Farming
Our colostrum comes from New Zealand, where cows are pasture-raised and grass-fed in a sustainable and humane environment. The farming practices we support adhere to strict animal welfare regulations, ensuring cows are treated ethically, and their natural feeding habits are respected. While it’s not possible to be 100% grass-fed year-round due to seasonal changes, we remain committed to sourcing from farms that prioritize ethical practices and responsible land management, all while maintaining the highest standards of colostrum quality.
Bioavailability
Bioavailability is key when it comes to the efficacy of colostrum, and at kāre, we take it seriously. We use processing methods that preserve the integrity of bioactive compounds like IgG, ensuring that the body can easily absorb and utilize them for maximum benefit. Our focus on bioavailability ensures that you receive the full immune-supporting and health-boosting effects that colostrum offers. By prioritizing low-heat or cold processing, we maintain the potency and effectiveness of every batch, delivering a product that works for your body, not just on paper.

Common Questions
Why Whole Colostrum?
Whole colostrum is nature’s first superfood, packed with essential bioactive nutrients that play a critical role in immune function, digestive balance, and overall wellness. Unlike colostrum isolates, which may strip out valuable components, whole colostrum provides a balanced range of bioactives, including immunoglobulins, growth factors, and prebiotics, working in synergy for maximum efficacy. By choosing whole colostrum, you’re getting a more potent and complete supplement that mirrors nature’s intended composition, offering benefits from immunity support to cellular regeneration and gut health.

What to Watch Out For?
When choosing a colostrum product, watch out for vague claims and lack of transparency regarding ingredient sourcing and processing. Many brands may claim “grass-fed” or “pasture-raised,” but not all follow rigorous standards or disclose specifics. Another red flag is using "proprietary blends" or “colostrum isolate” instead of whole colostrum, as blends and isolates may lack the natural balance of nutrients, reducing potential benefits. Additionally, some products might not disclose their IgG or bioactive percentages, which can compromise efficacy. At Kāre, we prioritize full transparency, from bioavailability and IgG content to the ethical treatment of our animals, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
What Quality Indicators to Look For?
To ensure you’re getting a high-quality colostrum supplement, here are key quality indicators:
Source Transparency: Look for brands that clearly state the origin of their colostrum, ideally from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows in regions like New Zealand, where dairy laws and ethical practices are strictly regulated.
Bioavailability & IgG Content: Choose products that disclose IgG levels, as higher IgG concentrations indicate robust immune support. Bioavailability is also essential to ensure your body absorbs the colostrum’s nutrients efficiently.
Third-Party Testing: Quality colostrum products should undergo rigorous testing for purity and potency, with results available to consumers.
Ethical & Sustainable Practices: Brands committed to animal welfare and sustainable farming practices generally produce purer, more responsibly sourced colostrum. Kāre’s adherence to the New Zealand Animal Products Act and ethical farming further ensures the quality and integrity of our product.
Color & Smell of Whole Colostrum: High-quality, whole colostrum typically has a natural creamy, yellowish color and a mild, slight 'cheese-like' scent. If the product appears overly processed, very white, or lacks the characteristic aroma, it may have been stripped of essential bioactive compounds during processing. These subtle natural cues indicate minimal processing and retention of colostrum’s beneficial nutrients.
By focusing on these indicators, you can select a colostrum supplement like Kāre that prioritizes quality, efficacy, and transparency.
