You say that you feed the cows legumes and grass. Can you please specify the exact kinds of legumes used in the cow feed?

Dear Johnathan, Thank you for your interest in BodyBoost Colostrum. Please know that we only sell the highest quality and most natural product available. The raw colostrum from each dairy undergoes a testing protocol to assure it is from the first milking, free of antibiotics, pesticides and Bst's. We do not own the dairy farms but only deal with farmers that have excellent farming practices and very healthy cows. We asked the farmers to certify that pesticides and antibiotics are not part of their animals food supply and as well as Bst's and we verify this by testing the raw colostrum in our factory. We do not control the diets of these animals but our farmers need healthy cows to have a financially sound farm. The cows do graze most of the time but are fed a grain diet while they are being milked that is comprised of approximately 30% soybean meal with the balance being corn and oats. The cows need this to produce a healthy and good tasting milk. We purchase appox 14 liters out of the first milking of approx 18 liters, once a year from each cow that has a calf, which amounts to about one tenth of one percent of that cows milk. I am not aware of any dairy farmer that does not feed their cows grain during the milking process and the grain mixture used is based on research done by Universities that have Agricultural programs. Again I thank you for your interest hope this information allows you to enjoy the health benefits of BodyBoost Whole Colostrum. . Enjoy in good health, John

I'm gonna assume that the milk is not from grass-fed cows. If it was, you'd think that they would tout that fact. The best choice would be to contact them directly.

It is normal milk powder. It's just organic so the cows are not given antibiotics or growth hormones. And they are fed a non-GMO organic diet.

They are fed a mixture of legumes and grass. It makes for a richer colostrum. You might find this link very helpful: http://www.holisticresources.org/products1servicesrecipes1new/view.nhtml?profile=products1servicesrecipes1new&UID;=43

All I know it is from a vegetable source, but unknown exactly what vegetables they use, but,beans, pumkin seeds and swiss chard, and soybeans high in this mineral. Considering soy is the cheapest, prob using this as main source. Just guessing.

I took this off their web site: Our colostrum is produced from healthy, nutritionally supplemented dairy cows raised in the United States on USDA and FDA certified dairy farms. These dairy cows are carefully fed a scientifically designed diet that contains the proper balance of legumes and grasses along with trace and other minerals to ensure consistently high potency colostrum. We believe this practice is far superior to pasture feeding that may allow the dairy cow's nutrition to chance.

Good luck on that question. The last thing you want is bovine sourced gelatin. Due to customer demand vegetarian gelatin is becoming more available. Wake up companies! NOBODY wants potential "mad cow" in their supplements

The cows are grass-fed but the pigs aren't pastured. The information is in the FAQ section of Great Lake's website http://www.greatlakesgelatin.com/consumer/FAQs.php

B12 comes from bacteria in the ground. That is how animals get it, not from their gut. Due to over-farming (to feed factory farmed animals) the soil is depleted of most nutrients and factory farmed animals are given B12 supplements. Vegans can get it from supplements, or from not washing veggies very well, since it's in dirt (no thanks! I'll stick to supplements or fortified foods for B12).

When I looked into this, I was satisfied that SP uses organically maintained farmland and livestock. It might be worth your time to double check and do some in-depth sleuthing because I checked 10 years ago.

On the can it says, "2. The cows are fed with organic feeds which are free from pesticide and chemical fertilizers. There are no pesticide or chemical residues." And, "4. Healthier cows: Organic cows are well taken care of and given balanced diet of organic feeds such as hays and beans."

I would think so. My husband tells me that he used in around the cows when he worked on a dairy farm.

During the winter months, their cows DO eat grains such as corn & soybeans.. Which is why I do not want to buy this brand.
