Generally, bovine colostrum is best taken on an empty stomach in the morning.

When taking bovine colostrum, it may be consumed with a large amount of water or milk; however, the liquid temperature should be kept below 50°C to facilitate proper reconfiguration of large-molecular-weight proteins and their subsequent release into the small intestine after passing through the stomach. Note that bovine colostrum should not be taken with carbonated beverages (e.g., cola), strong tea, or coffee.
