Synergy
What is happening. Colostrum and probiotics may work together to support gut barrier integrity and a healthy microbiome, with colostrum providing prebiotic and immune factors that can favor probiotic colonization.
Mechanism. Bovine colostrum supplies immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and oligosaccharides that support intestinal barrier function and can act as prebiotic substrate, potentially enhancing probiotic survival and adhesion.
Recommendation. Safe and complementary to take together. For routine gut support, taking them in the same window is reasonable.
