Colostrum powder is the "dried" version of the liquid. Colostrum itself is nutrient-rich and contains vitamins, minerals and macronutrients that vital for the human form. Colostrum is of course protein-rich and has specific compounds such as:
Lactoferrin - A protein involved in assisting your body's immune response to infection and viruses

IGF-1 & IGF-2 - Are growth hormones that stimulate growth within the body. Colostrum is especially high in both these protein based hormones.
In simple terms, yes. Cows produce more Colostrum than that is needed for their calf. Once the calf has had its feed within the 12 hour window of it being born, the colostrum can be collected. There are levels of colostrum which act as a guideline to the strength and the nutrition of the Colostrum.
Collected within 6 hours - This Colostrum would be the most nutritious as it is highly fresh however, within this window nutrition for the new born calf would be stopped.
Collected within 12 hours - The most ethical & optimal source. Still high in IGG content the Colostrum collected at this time would be of a high grade as well as having a conscious view on the newly born calf.
Collected after 12 hours - Still effective Colostrum however the the level strength would have rapidly depleted as the window to collect the most nutrient dense fluid would have closed.
