After taking allergy shots for months with little improvement, I started Synertek Colostrum. In two weeks my allergy symptoms vanished and my energy level shot up like a rocket!
February 16th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
While stirring a stock pot, I splashed boiling broth on my mid section. I immediately jumped in the shower to cool the site. With no aloe to use afterward, I applied colostrum cream to the 3rd degree burn. As the days went on, it blistered badly, scabbed, and eventually peeled. I continued throughout to apply the colostrum cream twice daily. The wound healed completely with no scarring. It was amazing. I only wish I had the liquid.
February 16th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
I found Synertek colostrum products extremely useful in many ways.
1. The pills bring instant healing after surgery.
2. The pills get rid of the colds before they ever get a hold of me.
3. The pills stop the development of hemorrhoids immediately.
4. The skin scream makes my face look a lot more smooth and shiny, giving me a good look that I have never had since my face was severely damaged by a heavily polluted environment when I was still a teenager.
5. The liquid make my wisdom tooth extraction completely painless.
I am sure there will be more benefits that I will discover as I continue using Synertek colostrum products.

Hi! I started taking the Synertek colostrum about a month ago. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis last May. I am already finding that I don’t need any painkillers some days!! Yowzers! Anyone else out there trying this product for RA or other autoimmune diseases?
February 18th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
I started using liquid colostrum about one month ago in place of expensive face serums… I am 38 and suffer periodically from cystic acne. I have had noticeable improvement in complexion, reduced scarring, instant firming-toning effect. I love it! Also want to mention this bottle was offered FREE when I placed my last order of powder and lozenges! I really appreciate the periodic discounts and trial offers. I wouldn’t have tried the liquid otherwise…
March 18th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
What would be the dose for digestive disorders….should it be the powder dissolved in the mouth or the liquid which I do not have.
Thanks to all who have experience!
March 18th, 2009 at 8:34 pm
Pam, how do you use liquid colostrum on your face? Do you use a cotton ball or do you use your fingers to massage it on your face?
March 19th, 2009 at 6:13 am
Have been using both the liquid colostrum and tablets for a while now with much success. I find the length and severity of my nosebleeds have diminished considerably. My question was concerning the liquid…I plan to travel overseas for about 8 days and would like to take it with me, however I am aware it needs to be refrigerated. Any suggestions on how I might accomplish this? Thanks.
March 19th, 2009 at 8:54 am
Cathy: The powder is great for digestive disorders. Best to put it straight in the mouth, swallow when soggy. –Tom
March 19th, 2009 at 8:57 am
Jane, generally the most effective way to use the liquid on affected skin is soak a tissue and cover with saran wrap and let it work, overnight if possible. –Tom
March 19th, 2009 at 9:00 am
Katie, the liquid will be OK for a week or two without refrigeration, so long as it is not left in direct sunlight.
–Tom

Can diabetics of all kinds use this product?
I would very much like to hear any news on this as my aunt suffers so much I would love to find this helpful!
March 23rd, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Diabetics of all kinds can use this product. Although Synertek does not represent colostrum to treat or cure any disease, colostrum contains components known to balance blood sugars and builds health in many ways, and that cannot hurt.
March 29th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Just wondering if anyone has used Synertek in the treatment of psoriasis? Colostrum is recommended in a treatment programme I have read about but have to admit, after 23 years of battling with this condition and trying all the supposed miracle cures, to being slightly dubious. I am also aType 1 diabetic so was interested in Tom’s post the other day!
March 30th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder, an overactive immune system. Colostrum regulates the immune system. It also has anti-inflammatory components, and healing agents. Here is a personal offer from me to you Simone. Try the powder internally, one jar will be eough to see benefit. Apply the liquid topically, again, one bottle will be enough to start. Contact me after 30 days of usage if you are not 100% happy with results and I will refund the full price including shipping. – Tom Higham, president of Synertek. (I invite you to share your results, positive or negative, on the blog.)

Has anyone used this for stroke treatment, I had a stroke last fall im 35 years old…it had hit a small section of the sensory in my brain…i always have a light headed feeling, tingling in my head, tired alot and it took my left side completly but have only now little grip or strenght in my left arm and leg…i want to order and believe this will work but are scared cause limited finances…and it may not work…if i knew it would i would save and order
May 5th, 2009 at 2:10 am
I’m thinking of trying Synertek for M.E. I know it can help auto immune conditions, but did read on one site that colostrum might over-stimulate an already over-active immune system. However I have a friend who has lupus who has greatly benefitted from it. I’ve tried so many supplements over the years to little effect, so it would be good to hear someone who has used it with M.E. And would powder or lozenges be better? I assume none contain added sugar.
Also my 6 month old baby has eczema despite being breastfed, might the cream help?
Thank you!
May 5th, 2009 at 9:01 am
Colostrum both strengthens and regulates the immune system. It tones down an overactive immune system such as with auto-immune disorders and allergies. That is the main way it works for them. The powder is recommended for you. The lozenges have a gram of dextrose (grape sugar) each. Anyone else with M.E. or other autoimmune conditions out there using the product please comment. The truth about how much colostrum helps needs to be told.
May 5th, 2009 at 9:11 am
Our liquid product applied topically to your baby’s eczema should clear it up within a few days. If not just phone me for a full refund. Yours for health, Tom.
June 30th, 2009 at 10:31 am
Your product comes highly recommended by a friend who has made an amazing recovrey from Hepatitis C using the lozenges. Reading your website it feels like the powder or liquid form would be best for a very fragile digestive system, but I’m not sure which to choose.
My whole digestive tract feels a bit sore and acid 0 – possibly a hiatus hernia or gastritis. Also I’m constipated.
Thanks.
June 30th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
The powder is the best form for you. Try a level tsp 3 x daily for the first month. You should see excellent results beginning within 2 to 4 weeks.
July 11th, 2009 at 8:13 am
I started using colostrum when I was diagnosed with the Epstein Barr virus & Lymes. The Dr. prescribed me antibiotics & told me to take some time off from work and rest. Well, I have to work for a living so, I decide to research both the EB virus & Lymes. I stumbled on Colostrum then found Synertek. Compared to what the other companies had to say and the research I decided to ask Synertek a few questions via e-mail. They immediately answering all my questions so, I decided to try it. Well within a few days I felt great and went back to work! Now, everytime I feel symtoms coming on, I go back on my colostrum & it’s gone in 1-3 days. I have recommended Synertek to all of my friends and continue to get positive feedback from all of them. Thanks Synertek!!!!

Does this work on Myeloma?
My Oncologist says I have a minute spike and that I shouldn’t worry, no lesions show on my bones.
Does this work if other supplements, vitamins and medications are being taken or should this be taken by itself?
July 16th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
I’m sorry but I have no experience with or knowledge of colostrum used with Myeloma. There are no known medicinal contraindications with colostrum and it can be taken with other supplements.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Hi, I suffer with Rheumatoid arthritis and am having methotrexate(20mg weekly) injections can this medication affect the healing properties of colostrum.I and my son have been taking your colostrum for just over a week and my son feels better in himself and I feel that I have more energy.How do you dry your colostrum?.I have read that freeze dried colostrum is less effective yet some companies do freeze dry it and the colostrum is more than 24hrs old.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:42 am
There are no known contraindications of colostrum with any medication, but it is impossible to say if the side effects of various medications can reduce the healing effect of colostrum. Synertek has not looked into freeze drying and cannot comment on it with an informed opinion. Colostrum must be harvested early. It begins to change immediately after calving and there is a dramatic reduction in the concentrations and proportions of the components at about the six hour mark.
November 1st, 2009 at 10:52 am
I am going to use the powder for general health but was wondering if there is any info on helping a hypo thyroid condition?
November 1st, 2009 at 12:15 pm
Colostrum is a balancer and tends to normalize biosystems, but I do not know of any info specific to colostrum and hypo thyroidism. If you try it I would be very interested in your results. –Tom Higham, Synertek
November 4th, 2009 at 9:07 am
I have been taking Hydrocodone/ibuprophenthree times a day with Lyrica for several years, and lately have had to take BC powders, (asperin, 650mg, caffein, salycilamide) for several nights for mid-nightime pain. this morning I had a nasty black stool, and cannot rule out intestinal bleeding. Of course I am going to see the doctor, but am I correct in believing that colostrum will help heal this problem?
November 4th, 2009 at 11:17 am
Colostrum has the ability to stop bleeding and heal damaged tissue. However I am not a doctor and I do not know if that will help with your problem or not.
February 13th, 2010 at 10:08 am
Hi. I am a big believer in the use of daily vitamins and recognize the need for supplemental nutrition in our diets. That said, most vitamin products are a waste of money because the don’t contain key nutrients in a bio-available form. The few vitamin companies that do provide such a product are cost prohibitive, at least over a long-term basis. I would be very interested to know if colostrum can replace the need for a daily vitamin product.
Also, which of your products would be ideally suited for infants and toddlers (acknowledging especially a toddler’s reluctance to be given anything that appears medicinal)?
Lastly, during my research into colostrum I’ve read about goat colostrum. What are your thoughts on colostrum from goats and how does it compare to bovine colostrum?
Thank you!
February 14th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
Infants can use Synertek liquid, a drop or two in each bottle. Toddlers like the lozenges. I have no knowledge about goat colostrum. I do know that bovine colostrum is virtually identically to human colostrum but more concentrated.
March 12th, 2010 at 4:54 pm
How do we take the powder
Can we use it in a smoothie.
March 12th, 2010 at 5:06 pm
Best to put it directly in your mouth, some sticks to the teeth and gums and maximizes benefits as it dissolves there. Nothing wrong with putting it in a smoothie. Now and then I mix it in a whey shake.
March 20th, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Which colostrum form is best for digestive issues such as diarrhea…lozenges, liquid or powder?
March 21st, 2010 at 4:39 pm
Either the lozenges or powder.
March 25th, 2010 at 12:16 pm
In march of 07 I had the flue that ened up with a chest infections for which I was perscribed Levaquin 500mg. for 7 days. A the end of which I developed tendonitis in my ankles and wrist. Two years later I am still battling this life changing condition, that has spread to my hands. After standard tendonitis treatments, steroids, ansaids, and even acupuncture. I still am having problems, where there were none before.
Do you think this might help with tendonitis?
March 25th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
Yes I do think it will help. Try the powder, a level tsp 2 or 3 times daily. Email or phone me for a full refund if you are not 100% happy with results.
March 25th, 2010 at 12:52 pm
Yes I do think it will help. Try the powder, a level tsp 2 or 3 times daily. Phone or email me for a full refund if you are not 100% satisfied after a month or so. – Tom Higham
March 28th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
I want to order this but wanted to ask if the processed way deleted some value. I read heat and other processing destroys much of the benefit. I am sure you addressed this issue, but can you do it again? thanks!
March 28th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Synertek goes the extra effort and expense to harvest the very best colostrum and takes equal care in processing. The product is spray dried at low temperature. It is pasteurized with a proprietary method developed through years of painstaking research and approved by the FDA using times and temperatures that preserve maximum quality while providing product safety. Pasteurization kills tuberculosis, salmonella, E coli, and other pathogens. Synertek colostrum is harvested from select grade A dairies known for their wholesome and organic practices and an emphasis on grass feeding; many of the dairymen are multi-generational with well-known practices. Synertek colostrum is free of harmful hormones, pesticides, and antibiotics. Each batch is tested by both an in-house laboratory and an independent laboratory to be sure it is free of contaminants of all kinds and meets the parameters of colostrum harvested in the first six hours.
March 30th, 2010 at 8:48 am
Hi,
I was diagnised with Lymes Disease after suffering with symptoms for 3 months. Some neurological symptoms were typical of stage three. I have been treated successfully with antibiotics and I am slowly weaning off after nine months of heavy treatment.
I have just learned about your product and would like to know what your recommendations would be to keep this disease at bay. I realise I may be a chronic patient and will not know for 3-4 months. I want to do whatever possible to beat this.
What regimen would you suggest?
My husband also suffers with asthmatic symptoms relating to his mold allergies. He also has a rash on his leg they claim is related to his nerve endings.
What would you recommend for him?
Oh and one more…..my 2 labs are ages 11 & 12. Jake (12) has arthitis in his left paw and some spine issues. Frankie(11)
has had surgery for resiratory issues. pharyngeal flap surgery due to parralisis. They were sutured back to her esophagus.
What regimen would you recommend for them?
Thank You,
VC
Thank You,
VC
March 30th, 2010 at 11:42 am
You, your husband, and your 2 labs will all benefit from the powder form. Start with a level tsp 2 or 3 x daily for you and your husband. A jar will last one person 2 months at that rate of usage. Expect to see benefit beginning in about 2 to 4 weeks. Give the dogs about a tsp once or twice a day, all dogs love colostrum and normally become more energetic and playful. Informational brochure and detailed usage instructions are enclosed with orders.
April 6th, 2010 at 9:26 am
Is this something that can replace vitamins and other supplements? Will I be able to utilize the lozengers? Or would you recommend staying with the powder form. Does it have any taste or flavor?
April 6th, 2010 at 9:30 am
I also forgot to ask if the liquid form would be of benifit to my husband’s rash? Or since they claim it’s nerve related is the oral route the way to go?
April 6th, 2010 at 4:47 pm
You have to kind of feel your own way and pick and choose which supplements to use after you have experienced colostrum for a while. Anyone can use the lozenges. The powder has a mild, pleasant taste to me. The liquid form applied topically may benefit your husband’s rash or it may not. Likewise with internal use.
April 10th, 2010 at 11:34 am
I am 51 yrs. old and have seriously suffered with HHT for the last 5 years. I have had lazer surgery to help with recurring nosebleeds, causing low levels in my hemaglobin. I have had blood and IV iron transfusions on occasion. I recently had the lazer procedure at Yale by a physician who specializes in this condition. I am interested in being proactive and would like to try your products.
What dosage and product/products would you recommend?
April 10th, 2010 at 11:53 am
We have many customers with HHT and Synertek is a sponsor of the HHT Foundation. Use Synertek liquid topically to stop bleeds when they occur, and to rapidly heal damaged tissues. Use Synertek lozenges or powder internally. This normally results in fewer and less severe bleeds, and frequently the difference is huge. Either the lozenges or powder will work for you for internal use.
June 22nd, 2010 at 5:24 pm
I have ordered two bottles of the lozenges. I have taken colostrum in the past, probably six years total ( Sedona Labs Brand) with what i can tell were good results. I have a nagging knee issue that has reared its head again. I have been off colostrum for about 5 months. Just felt like i needed to flush the system. I feel t,he colostrum has benefits but am confused “like normal” by all the claims of whats better than whoes. The customer is at the mercy of the company they choose. Most are in true need of some help and put their faith and wallet in that companies hands. Your product boast its purity and being gathered very early in the cycle. I have always taken capsules in the past of the brand i mentioned. Do the lozenges pack the punch i will need to intervene and progress in the recouperation area? The past products boasted using at least 2000mg a day. I notice yours recommends only 400mg or so daily. Why the big difference? or is there another route i should pursue.Sorry to be long winded.
June 22nd, 2010 at 6:20 pm
You make some excellent points! The potency of various brands can vary by a lot. For maximum anti-inflammatory effect and fastest healing try a level tsp of Synertek powder 3 x daily. Satisfaction is unconditionally guaranteed or a full refund including shipping just for the asking.
Tom Higham, President

June 23rd, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Just ordered to bottles of powder. I assume this is teaspoon you are referring to?
Could you answer a couple of questions. Is is best to keep all colostrum, once opened, in the refrigerator? Also, i know it is about 98 degrees here, does the heat not effect the efficiency of the Bio-Activity of the product while in transit? One last, is it recommended to take before bed, or is there a tendency to
cause any sleep issues.
Thanks for your time.
June 23rd, 2010 at 9:39 pm
The spoon in the powder container is 1/4 tsp. Only the liquid requires refrigeration. The powder and lozenges may accumulate moisture if stored in a refrigerator or freezer. The biochemicals in colostrum are quite stable and easily tolerate shipping temperatures while in transit. We ship to virtually everywhere on the planet including its hottest regions. Synertek colostrum has been tested after five years and found to still be bioactive. Some people are too energetic to sleep if they take colostrum at night. In such cases it is recommended to take the last serving in midafternoon, and after a few months the problem usually goes away and colostrum can then be used late at night.
June 29th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
For curiosity sake. I notice on the powder, it is recommended on the first serving of each day (morning) that it be followed with a glass of water. What is the theory on that and is it immediately afterward.
June 29th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
Colostrum heals and protects all the way through the digestive tract, and there is value in letting colostrum work its own way from one end to the other. Following the first serving in the morning with a glass of water, when the digestive tract is empty, moves the colostrum quickly to the intestines, where much of the absorption occurs. Thus benefits are averaged by chasing one serving with a glass of water, and hopefully optimized.
July 23rd, 2010 at 5:18 am
HI. I am a 21 yr old female currrently battling chronic lyme. I am fighting the fatigue, headaches, numbness/tingling, and all the other problems that go with it. Along with this disease has brought about numerous food allergies and more currently hives. I just had allergy testing done and don’t know what is causing my hives, would you recommend I order to liquid colostrum for now until I know if milk is one of my potential allergens since the casein is removed?
July 23rd, 2010 at 7:24 am
Since the casein contains the proteins that persons with dairy allergies have a problem with, the liquid would appear a good choice for you at this time. You may want to know that a bottle of the liquid will last 8 days at the maintenance level of usage. It is recommended to use more the first four weeks which requires nine bottles. Detailed usage instructions are enclosed with orders.
July 23rd, 2010 at 7:29 am
Colostrum is low in potassium , phosphorous, and sodium. I have no knowledge of any monitoring of creatinine levels when using colostrum. My non-medical opinion, based on a general knowledge of colostrum and what it does, is that you will benefit from using colostrum.
September 1st, 2010 at 9:42 am
Hi, my father diagnosed for kidney,ulcer, prostate problem and diabetis. He’s using right now colostrum lozenges tablet. Which is the best for him to use? tablets or powder?
Hoping for immediate response.
Thanks and have a great day.
September 1st, 2010 at 11:22 am
Anyone with fragile or seriously compromised health should try larger amounts of colostrum, which means using the powder form since it is 100% colostrum with nothing added. Have your father try the maximum amount recommended in the informational brochure, a level tsp 3 x daily.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:05 am
Not yet admin but my doctor recommended to use colostrum lozenges for my dad for 1 tablet 2x a day because she told me that my dad is a diabetic patient.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:01 am
Persons with diabetes sometimes report that their blood sugar levels are better since using colostrum, and growth factors in colostrum are known to help balance blood sugars. This of course does not mean that colostrum helps balance blood sugars in diabetics. Customers with diabetes are advised to consult with their doctor about colostrum and diabetes.
September 6th, 2010 at 5:07 pm
Does colostrum help with candida yeast infections? I have dairy allergies. Should I take 1 losenge in morning and 1 later in the day?
September 7th, 2010 at 10:45 am
I have little knowledge of customers with candida, but as I understand it we all have candida and it becomes a problem only when the immune system is weakened and fails to control it, and so strengthening the immune system should be of help. Synertek powder or liquid would be recommended with candida since they have no added sugar. Some persons with dairy allergies report symptoms with colostrum and some do not. Synertek liquid has the casein removed, which is believed to contain the proteins persons with dairy allergies may be allergic to.
February 13th, 2011 at 3:46 pm
Greetings,
Lupus has been terrorizing my body for the past 18 years leaving its ugly prints on my kidneys, heart, and joints. At the age of 45, I had to have a stent put in my heart due to plaque build-up caused by inflammation NOT cholesterol, as many would argue. I take prednisone and other drugs for the condition. My daughter emailed me an article on Colostrum, and I am interested in the benefits or your particular powder. I bought a bottle at the local health store, and I have taken three capsules every morning for about a month. I have recently had an issue with diarrhea and pain in my lower back, which I believe are my intestines. My diarrhea continues on the fifth day now with it being completely green in color. I was wondering if the Colostrum might be acting as a worming agent? I am interested in your brand as it comes in the powder and lozenger form. Can you make any recommendations for me on what to order? Do you think my case can benefit?
Thanks!
February 13th, 2011 at 4:20 pm
Hi. I have no medical training, and the diarrhea and lower back pain sound like medical attention may be warranted. Colostrum contains anti-inflammatory components, healing agents, and components that modulate as well as strengthen the immune system, and it has no known side effects. To see more information about using colostrum with lupus see http://www.synertekcolostrum.com/index.php/colostrum-benefits/lupus/. If you try Synertek colostrum I recommend the powder form for you.
Best wishes,
Tom
March 13th, 2011 at 5:00 pm
Is colostrum good for healing after a tummy tuck?
March 14th, 2011 at 9:52 am
Absolutely, either the powder or lozenges used internally will greatly accelerate healing.
March 27th, 2011 at 12:11 am
Do you know if applying the cream to scar tissue (specifically keloid) will help diminish and smooth it?
March 27th, 2011 at 7:33 am
I have had reports of scar tissue reduction by applying the liquid or the skin cream, however I have not seen enough evidence to be confident that it will.
June 22nd, 2011 at 9:28 am
Was wondering what your skin cream smell like and does it have any type of a fragrance to it? Thank you
June 22nd, 2011 at 10:00 am
The skin cream has a light, natural citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) fragrance that you notice when you are putting it on but not after putting it on. We often get comments about how people love the fragrance.
June 25th, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Where can I see a list of the ingredients in the skin cream. I’m sure it is wonderful but I want to know what it has in it before I put it on my skin. Thank you.
June 25th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
See the complete list of Syntertek colostrum skin cream ingredients at http://www.skin-regenerator.com
October 8th, 2011 at 10:13 pm
I wanted to know if colostrum has ever been used following radiation damage (soft tissue necrosis)to help the skin? If so, would the liquid form applied externally or the powder form (taken orally) be more effective? Thank you so much.
October 9th, 2011 at 9:00 am
I have no knowledge of colostrum used following radiation damage, however colostrum regenerates old and damaged body tissues so it is certainly worth a try. The liquid applied topically heals surface damage. The powder used internally speeds deeper healing.
October 30th, 2011 at 3:14 pm
I have Achilles Tendonitis in both legs. Not sure what brought it on. What do you recommend that may help me to overcome this?
October 31st, 2011 at 8:45 am
Colostrum contains anti-inflammatory components and healing agents, and should be helpful with tendonitis. The powder form at a level tsp 3 x daily will provide maximum healing and anti-inflammatory benefit.
