Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Colostrum with Beta Glucan. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods. Beta-glucans derived from oat bran, baker's yeast, or brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) have Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status in the US (4912).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately, short-term in medicinal amounts. There is some evidence that yeast-derived beta-glucans 15 grams daily can be used safely for up to 8 weeks (7272). Oat-derived beta-glucans 3-10 grams daily can also be used safely for up to 12 weeks (7272,5796,17129,34700,34727,34729,34765,34766,34811,34812)(34876,107935,109206). ...when used topically and appropriately. A specific beta-glucans serum and emulsion (Awake; Hangzhou Songyang Biotechnical) combination has been used with apparent safely for up to 12 weeks in clinical research (109210). A specific beta-glucans cream (Imunoglukan P4H, PLEURAN s.r.o.) has been used with apparent safety 2-3 times daily for up to 6 months (98201).
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods. Lactoferrin has Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) status in the US (13312).
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when used orally in medicinal amounts. Bovine lactoferrin has been safely used at doses of up to 600 mg daily for up to 12 months (13313,13314,13315,13316,13320,13321,13322,13323,97786,104859,104860). Recombinant human lactoferrin has been used with apparent safety at a dose of 5 grams daily for up to 14 days (13317,13318,13319). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of lactoferrin when used topically.
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY SAFE
when used enterally in infants and children up to 6 years of age.
Lactoferrin has been used safely as a part of enteral feeds in preterm infants at a dose of 250 mg daily or up to 300 mg/kg daily for up to 30 days (97783,97787,104857,104858,104870). Formula fortified with bovine lactoferrin 0.6 grams/L and bovine milk fat globule membrane 5 grams/L has also been used safely in infants for up to 12 months (104866). Bovine and recombinant human lactoferrin 1000 mg daily for up to 6 months has been used with apparent safety in weaned infants up to 18 months of age (97783,97787). Bovine lactoferrin 336-500 mg per week has been used with apparent safety in children 1-6 years of age for 13-15 weeks (104861,104862). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of lactoferrin in children over 6 years of age.
PREGNANCY: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods.
Lactoferrin has Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) status in the US (13312).
PREGNANCY: POSSIBLY SAFE
when used orally in medicinal amounts.
Lactoferrin has been used with apparent safety during the second or third trimester of pregnancy at doses of up to 250 mg daily for up to 8 weeks (97788). Also, bovine lactoferrin has been used with apparent safety throughout all trimesters of pregnancy at doses of up to 200 mg daily (104865).
There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of intravaginal lactoferrin during pregnancy and lactation; avoid using.
LACTATION: LIKELY SAFE
when used orally in amounts commonly found in foods.
Lactoferrin has Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) status in the US (13312). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of lactoferrin when used medicinally during lactation; avoid using.

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Colostrum with Beta Glucan. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General
...Orally and topically, beta-glucans seem to be well-tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Topically: Contact dermatitis, skin reactions.
Dermatologic ...Topically, a specific beta-glucans cream r.o.) has been reported to cause skin reactions and contact dermatitis in one clinical trial. These reactions occurred in 27% of patients; reactions were mild and self-limiting in 12% of patients (98201).
Hematologic ...In one clinical trial of children and young adults with neuroblastoma, one of 44 patients developed transient elevations of aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase within five days of starting oral beta-glucans 120 mg/kg daily (109203).
General
...Orally, bovine and human recombinant lactoferrin are well tolerated when used in typical doses.
However, hjgher doses of 7.2 grams daily increase the risk of side effects and decrease tolerability.
Topically, there is a limited amount of information on the adverse effects of lactoferrin.
Intravaginally, no adverse effects have been reported. However, a thorough evaluation of safety outcomes has not been conducted.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Constipation, diarrhea, epigastric pain, and nausea.
Topically: Burning sensation.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Bowel obstruction, intestinal perforation.
Dermatologic ...Orally, at higher doses of 7. 2 grams daily, lactoferrin has been reported to cause skin rash (13323). Topically, burning sensation has been reported (97784).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, lactoferrin has been reported to cause diarrhea in some patients. At higher doses of 7.2 grams daily, anorexia and constipation have been reported (13323). However, gastrointestinal effects of lactoferrin, including epigastric pain, constipation, nausea, and diarrhea, are less common than with other sources of iron such as ferrous sulfate (97788). In neonates, single cases of jaundice, bloody stool, bowel obstruction, and intestinal perforation have been reported in clinical trials (104857,104858).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, at higher doses of 7. 2 grams daily, lactoferrin has been reported to cause fatigue and chills (13323).
