For 5 years as a registered dietitian, my older patients kept asking me the same thing:

“What can I take to stay strong?”

I’d tell them protein powders. Supplements. Eat more protein. But deep down, I knew none of it really worked.

Then it hit home. My own 58-year-old mother couldn’t lift her grandkids anymore. She was devastated.

That moment sent me down a rabbit hole of research. What I found changed everything:

In clinical studies, adults over 60 taking colostrum gained three times more strength than those taking whey protein.

The difference?

After 50, we develop anabolic resistance - meaning our muscles stop responding to normal protein. But colostrum contains growth factors that help aging muscles actually absorb nutrients again.

I gave my mother properly preserved colostrum. Eight weeks later, she was tossing her granddaughter in the air like old times.

The problem is, most colostrum on the market is destroyed by cheap processing. Doctors don’t talk about it. So people keep struggling, needlessly.

I started Raw Standard to change that.

Because “normal aging” is optional. And when your strength comes back, you realize - so is surrender.

You deserve to stay the person your family counts on.
