Colostrum supplement sales have jumped 3,000% in two years as farmers say they can sell only surplus after calves are fed.
- Colostrum supplement sales surged 3,000% over the past two years, driven by fitness enthusiasts, university researchers, and celebrities seeking the nutrient-rich substance, according to February Bloomberg data citing NielsenIQ.
- Inspired by popular 'healthmaxxing' and 'looksmaxxing' social media influencers, 16-year-old Egor Knyazev from southern Ukraine befriended a local farmer on Facebook Marketplace about 50 miles outside Odessa to source the product.
- Knyazev's Instagram video 'blew up' his @smartbones21 page with 186,000 views, while Dr. Gendelman observed the uncontrolled market enabled sellers to charge $100 per bottle; retail versions at Target, Amazon, and Costco range from $15 to $100.
- Rancher Kendel Hofer in northwestern North Dakota pays $40 per colostrum bag for her 150-head herd; without it, she says, calves would die, as Gendelman warned his product's success could create critical supply shortages.
- Colostrum production faces inherent limits since it only emerges after cows give birth and synthetic alternatives remain in early research stages, though researchers note potential benefits for immunocompromised individuals pending further study.
