Prolonged endurance running increases intestinal permeability, the mechanism behind runners stomach, post-race GI distress, and the recurring sickness that follows hard race efforts. At 400-800mg IgG daily, colostrum supplementation reduces exercise-induced gut permeability and supports mucosal immune defense, with the most pronounced effect during periods of high training load, heat exposure, or multi-day race recovery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eBuilt for marathon runners in high-volume training blocks, ultra runners managing multi-day race recovery, and any runner who regularly gets sick in the two weeks after a hard race or a major training block.

Endurance running increases gut permeability - the mechanism behind GI distress, cramping, and runners stomach. Research shows bovine colostrum supplementation reduces exercise-induced intestinal permeability, particularly during hot conditions and high-load training. This product delivers 575mg IgG per serving. It pairs well with L-Glutamine, which provides the direct substrate for intestinal cell repair.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;\"\u003eQ: How much colostrum should a runner take, and when?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;\"\u003eA: 400-800mg IgG daily is the range used in the majority of endurance research. This product provides 575mg IgG per serving, placing it within that therapeutic range. Timing is flexible - morning on an empty stomach or immediately post-run. Allow 3-4 weeks of consistent use before assessing immune and gut response. The powder format mixes into a post-run shake; it is also well-suited to travel and race-week use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;\"\u003eQ: Can colostrum help with immunity during marathon training?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;\"\u003eA: High-volume marathon training creates an open window of immune suppression lasting 24-72 hours after hard efforts. Bovine colostrum supplies IgG immunoglobulins that support mucosal immunity - the first line of defense in the gut and respiratory tract. Supplementing consistently in the 10-14 days before a race and through recovery may reduce the likelihood of illness during and after peak training blocks. This is particularly relevant for runners who repeatedly get sick after races.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;\"\u003eQ: Is bovine colostrum useful for ultra runners managing multi-day GI issues?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;\"\u003eA: Yes. GI shutdown is a primary cause of DNFs in events lasting beyond 50 miles. Intestinal permeability increases with effort duration, heat, and cumulative fatigue - all constants in ultra running. Bovine colostrum's IgG and growth factors support gut barrier function during extended efforts. Stacking 2,300mg colostrum with 5-10g L-Glutamine daily during a training block targets both the immune and structural components of gut barrier integrity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dark Mile Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47096162451641,"sku":"JTP0COPO","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/4971\/3081\/files\/1777048850611-generated-label-image-0.jpg?v=1777901772","url":"https:\/\/darkmileco.com\/products\/colostrum-powder","provider":"Dark Mile Co.
