Human colostrum is the early breast milk produced around the time of birth, before milk production becomes established. The figures here are drawn from literature sources. It provides carbohydrate, fat and protein, with 6.6g of carbohydrate, 2.6g of fat and 2g of protein per 100g. It also contains 178µg of vitamin A per 100g.
Carbohydrate and fat supply energy, while protein supports growth and tissue repair. Vitamin A contributes to normal vision and immune function. Colostrum also contains antibodies and other components that support a newborn’s immune defences. Its composition varies between individuals and changes as breast milk develops. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
