We believe the body knows how to heal - when given the right support. Colostrum is where that support begins.
Where it began.
For years, Liz Rostand's Multiple Sclerosis had been slowly taking over her life. Walking even half a mile had become a struggle. Then she started taking colostrum. Within weeks, she was walking three miles. Then seven. Her balance improved, her vision sharpened, her energy returned.
The transformation was profound - and it changed everything.
It was witnessing Liz's recovery that first caught the attention of Dr. Gabriella Disla.
Where science met experience.
A doctor and nutritionist, Gabriella had long been battling her own gut issues. Inspired by what she had seen in Liz, she began researching colostrum in depth.
What she discovered fascinated her: it was clear there was more to it than just another supplement. Used for generations, yet remains largely over looked in modern wellness.
Gabriella began incorporating it into her own routine. At first, the changes were subtle - but consistent. Over time, she noticed improvements in her digestion, and overall resilience. Not a quick fix, but something that supported her body in a way that felt sustainable.
What makes it different.
Colostrum is one of the most biologically complete substances in nature - rich in bioactive compounds that support how the body regulates, repairs, and adapts.
This isn’t a trend.
It’s a return.
Why we built this.
Gabriella joined forces with Liz and her husband Freddie, who together bring over a decade of hands-on colostrum expertise - from building a loyal community to developing close relationships with trusted suppliers.
Together, they founded Colostrum Co with a single mission: to make the highest quality colostrum accessible to everyone.
They have built a trusted network of farms and processors to ensure every batch is carefully sourced, processed, and tested - meeting strict standards for purity and safety while preserving its bioactive integrity.
Designed to fit daily life.
Nourishment, redefined for modern living. Colostrum is nature’s first nourishment - a source of bioactive compounds that support growth, repair, and resilience.
We’ve taken this foundation
and made it relevant for today.
No complexity. No excess.
Just what works.
Why this matters.
Colostrum Co exists at the intersection of lived experience and clinical understanding.
A medical professional and a wellness pioneer who both had their lives transformed by one natural substance.
That story is what drives everything we do - and why we believe colostrum is an essential part of modern wellness.
Because supporting your health doesn’t need to be complicated. It starts with the right foundation.

At Colostrum Co, Gabriella leads the brand's educational direction and wellness philosophy. Her focus is simple: support gut integrity, encourage immune balance, and promote sustainable daily habits.

Elizabeth Rostand
CO-FOUNDER
Elizabeth was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at 24 while working as a journalist for BBC News, a career built on curiosity and questioning assumptions. When told there was little that could be done, her instinct was to keep searching.

Years later, through international contacts, her family discovered colostrum - something widely used elsewhere but largely unknown in the UK at the time.
Her son William, a keen sportsman, began using it for recovery and endurance. Her husband Frederic incorporated it into his routine.
Over the past decade, Elizabeth has shared colostrum with friends and others seeking additional support alongside their existing care. Many have reported meaningful improvements in their day-to-day wellbeing.
For Elizabeth, Colostrum Co represents resilience, curiosity, and the belief that there is always more to explore.
"I didn't want to create just another supplement company. I wanted to create something that helps people better understand their bodies and feel more supported in their health".
