Short answer: most colostrum capsules hold about 500 mg, so a 2 g powder serving equals about 4 capsules, and a 120 to 180 capsule bottle holds 60 to 90 g of colostrum. A 120 g jar of powder holds more than any capsule bottle we checked. Capsules win on convenience and travel; powder wins on grams per dollar and has no capsule shell.
We make a competing product, so every fact about other brands below comes from their own store, label, FAQ or policy pages, checked on October 24, 2026. Prices are in US dollars unless marked CAD and change often.
