Horses and dogs alike can have down days, or ailments they just canât seem to shake like allergies or overall lackluster. Biostar EQâs Colostrum-38 is loaded with immune factors, growth factors, plus bioactive proteins, peptides, prebiotics, and probiotics- in short, a super food that packs a big punch.
Keeping your horse healthy
Since the horse's body is in a constant breaking down/building up state which can present itself as stress, the immune systems need to be in top condition to combat the normal wear and tear on its body.
Biostar EQ relies on whole food ingredients of superior quality to deliver optimum health and wellness to equine athletes and canines alike with Colostrum-38.
To better understand Colostrum and itâs benefit to horses and dogs, itâs important to know the basics of the immune system. There are two principle immune defense systems: humoral and cellular.
Humoral antibodies (immunoglobulins) fight bacterial infections, while the cellular immune system is responsible for defense against infection due to viruses, fungi, some types of bacteria and cancers.
Colostrum provides one of the most important antibodies, immunglobin IgG, which provides effectiveness against multiple microorganisms, many of which are now resistant to antibiotics and helps support the full immune system.
Since the body is in a constant breaking down/building up which can present itself as stress, the immune systems need to be in top condition to help combat intruders as well as the normal wear and tear on bodies.
The motherâs first milk, Colostrum, contains a plethora of immune supporting and balancing components as well as helping to fortify the bodyâs main functions, such as cellular repair and replication. Studies have shown that even in small amounts,
Colostrum can do more than just combat infections. It was through using Colostrum supplementation that the Australian Olympic swim team won more gold medals than China in the 2000 and 2004 Olympic games, a rarity in the sport.
The following benefits to horse health occur when using Colostrum:
- Reduces immune stress on performance horses
- Provides antioxidant support, muscle and tissue recovery and healing
- Supports the digestive tract, helps heal intestinal mucosa and provides prebiotics for healthy gut microorganisms
- Regulates blood sugar
- Metabolizes fat

Biostar EQâs Colostrum is from antibiotic, pesticide and rBGH- free cows that are grass fed. It is collected in small amounts within the first twelve hours ensuring potency of both the immune factors as well as the growth factors to the calves.
Only small amounts are collected to ensure the calves are receiving plenty of this critical âfirst food.â Biostar EQâs Colostrum is processed using minimal heat procedures to protect the bioavailability of the nutritional factors, and hundreds of published studies demonstrate that Colostrum can play an important role in the health, performance, and well being of horses and dogs.
For horses needing immune support, or cellular repair of connective tissues and soft tissues, feed ½ teaspoon once or twice daily. In situations of increased immune response (hives, allergies) give 1 teaspoon twice per day for 7- 10 days.
In cases of high stress, feed 3-4 times daily for up to two weeks in duration then return to normal feeding. Biostar EQ Colostrum-38 comes in a 30 or 60 day regular supply for $55.00 or $94.00.
âThis product is definitely a "super" food. We use it as a key daily support for the horses' immune system. There's nothing else even close to it.
Among the many great things about BioStar's Colostrum, it promotes good GI tract health, is amazing for horses with allergies and breathing issues, is an anti-inflammatory, increases stamina and much much more,â said Gregor McQueen, Biostar EQ customer.
