After Antibiotics, Probiotics Aren't Enough

Mix 1 scoop (2.3g) with 6-8 oz of cold water, juice, or your morning smoothie. Most people take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, about 15-20 minutes before eating.

Why cold beverages? Heat can break down some of the bioactive compounds in colostrum (immunoglobulins and growth factors). Cold or room temperature liquids preserve their effectiveness.

Why empty stomach? The immunoglobulins and growth factors work directly on your gut lining when they're not competing with food for absorption. Once your gut barrier is more restored (around Week 6-8), timing matters less.

Taste: Mild, slightly sweet. Mixes clear in cold water or juice. Blends easily into smoothies.

Consistency matters: Daily use for 8-12 weeks minimum. Missing a day here and there won't derail you, but taking it 5-6 days a week consistently gets better results than sporadic use.

Bovine Colostrum (2,300 mg per serving)

• Clinical Potency: Delivers a robust 2,300 mg dose, standardized to 25% IgG (Immunoglobulins).
• Active Defense: Provides 575 mg of IgG antibodies per scoop—the primary mechanism for identifying and neutralizing toxins before they breach your gut barrier.
• Structural Support: Naturally rich in Bioactive Growth Factors that support the physical repair of the gut lining and tight junctions.
• U.S. Sourced: Collected exclusively from U.S. dairy farms and cold-processed to preserve bioactivity.

Unlike standard supplements that just add bacteria, this bioactive "first milk" acts as the soil for your microbiome, rebuilding the structural foundation that medications often damage.

What’s NOT Included

• No antibiotics or synthetic hormones
• Non-GMO
• Gluten-free
• Free from fillers, gums, or artificial additives

Short answer: Colostrum first, then probiotics work way better.

Here's why: Probiotics are live bacteria trying to colonize your gut. But if your gut barrier is still damaged (which it is after antibiotics), they struggle to establish themselves. They pass through, maybe provide temporary relief, but they can't stick to a broken surface.

Colostrum repairs the foundation first:

• Seals the gaps in your gut lining
• Reinforces tight junctions between cells
• Creates a stable surface for bacteria to colonize

What most people do: Take colostrum for 8-12 weeks to rebuild the barrier, then add probiotics back for ongoing maintenance. You can take both together if you want, but colostrum is doing the foundational repair work.

Think of it this way: Probiotics are the grass. Colostrum is fixing the cracked pavement before you plant the seeds.

A 2018 study in Cell actually found that probiotics may delay microbiome recovery after antibiotics because they're trying to colonize damaged terrain. Fix the terrain first. Then the probiotics can do their job.

Real gut barrier restoration happens in phases, not overnight.

Week 1-2: Foundation
Immunoglobulins start binding to pathogens and toxins. Growth factors begin signaling damaged cells to repair. You probably won't feel dramatic changes yet. That's completely normal. Cellular repair is happening beneath what you can feel.

Week 3-4: Early Signals
This is when most people notice the first real changes. Bloating after meals isn't as severe. Digestion becomes more predictable. Brain fog starts lifting slightly. Energy feels more stable. You might think "is this actually working or am I imagining it?" You're not imagining it. Your gut barrier is starting to seal.

Week 5-8: Compounding
The improvements from Week 3-4 stop feeling like "good days" and start feeling like your new normal. Foods that used to trigger reactions don't anymore. The afternoon energy crash isn't as brutal. You realize you haven't thought about your gut in a few days.

Week 9-12: Restoration
Your gut barrier is 70-80% restored. The structural damage from antibiotics is repaired. You're eating normally. The constant low-grade discomfort that you'd been managing for months is just gone.

The mistake most people make: They feel better at Week 3-4 and stop. But at Week 4, your gut is only 30-40% healed. The relief is real, but it's fragile. Stop too soon, and the symptoms creep back within weeks.

Simple: Take it for up to 90 days. If you're not seeing improvement, email us. We refund you.

Just email support@melicior.com with your order number. We process the refund within 3-5 business days.

Why 90 days? Because full gut barrier restoration takes 8-12 weeks. We want you to have enough time to see real results. If you're 90 days in and still not feeling better, this isn't the right solution for you, and we don't want your money.

We're confident in the science. Colostrum's role in gut barrier integrity is well-researched. But we also know every gut is different. Some people have additional issues beyond antibiotic damage (SIBO, Candida overgrowth, parasites, etc.). If colostrum alone doesn't solve it, you need a different approach.

No risk. Real guarantee. That's how we can afford to be honest about the 8-12 week timeline. Because we know it works for most people who stick with it.
