Ownership disclosure: Earth Energy and The Ingredient Report are independently operated companies under common ownership. This deep-dive applies the same public methodology we use on every brand — commercial relationships never change a score or a fact — and where a competitor beats this product, we say so by name.

Earth Energy Colostrum scored 70/100, the top mark in our colostrum comparison — but no product is without cons, and we document our own commonly owned brand’s as bluntly as any competitor’s. Everything here is dated.

The honest cons

01Strict return policy. Returns are 15-day, unopened-only, with a $7 restocking fee, and subscription orders aren’t returnable — stricter than the retail-friendly policies of some rivals. Verify current terms before buying.
02No published COAs. The label states ISO/IEC 17025 testing, but certificates of analysis aren’t published for buyers to inspect — a stated standard without the documents in hand.
03Young brand. A shorter track record than decades-old names — less history of consistency to draw on, for better or worse.

Side effects and safety notes

Colostrum is a dairy product, so the side-effect profile is dairy-driven: people with a dairy allergy should avoid it, those with lactose sensitivity may notice mild digestive effects, and some report initial bloating or loose stools that typically settle within a week or two. As an immune-active supplement, people who are pregnant, nursing, immunocompromised or on immune-modulating medication should check with a clinician first. The grass-fed, calves-fed-first sourcing is a genuine quality positive — but it doesn’t change the dairy allergen consideration.

Frequently asked questions

Does Earth Energy Colostrum have side effects?

As a dairy product: avoid it with a dairy allergy, expect possible mild digestive effects with lactose sensitivity, and know some report initial bloating that settles. Immunocompromised, pregnant or nursing users should check with a clinician.

What are the cons of Earth Energy Colostrum?

A strict 15-day unopened-only return policy (subs non-returnable, $7 restocking), no published certificates of analysis despite a stated ISO/IEC 17025 standard, and a younger brand track record. We document our own brand’s cons as bluntly as any competitor’s.

Is Earth Energy Colostrum third-party tested?

Its label states ISO/IEC 17025 testing, but it doesn’t publish the certificates of analysis for buyers to inspect — a stated standard without the documents posted, which we score as a transparency gap.
