Frequently Asked Questions

While Boobamilk powder is manufactured using the same high-quality ingredients as products meant for human consumption and follows strict standards set fourth for these types of milk products meant for human consumption, we are not legally allowed to recommend this product for human consumption due to the fact that we do not pasteurize our raw milk products at any point during the manufacturing process.

Each 7.2 oz bag of powder will make approximately 50 fluid ounces.

We take immense pride in sourcing only the highest quality, human-grade ingredients for our Boobamilk powder. Each ingredient is meticulously researched and hand-selected from suppliers that share our commitment to quality, product transparency, and sustainable practices.

Our rigorous selection process ensures that our ingredients meet the same strict standards as food intended for human consumption, often surpassing the quality of many human-food competitors. Many of the ingredients are from the USA, with a portion of them being globally sourced; ie. gelatin from Brazil, coconut oil from Phillipines, etc. Learn more about each one of the nourishing ingredients in Boobamilk powder here.

Yes, the dairy products used in Boobamilk powder are from A2/A2 cows.

Our dairy products are never heated above 95° F during any point of production. Any heating required is kept to an absolute minimum (both temperature and duration) to ensure that the nutrients are preserved and our products remain biologically alive throughout the manufacturing process.

Comprehensive nutritional information for Boobamilk powder can be found here.

While we source the majority of fats from nourishing, full-fat dairy, we do add in a very minimal amount of sunflower oil to provide a balanced fatty acid profile.

Sunflower oil, when properly extracted and stored, contains a rich source of polyunsaturated fats, particularly linoleic acid (an essential omega-6 fatty acid) that is not provided by any of the other oils in Boobamilk blends. Linoleic acid plays a crucial role in brain and immune system development and maintenance, and is involved in the production of essential hormones. Additionally, sunflower oil is a significant source of vitamin E.

The problem is not with sunflower oil itself, but with the way it is extracted and handled during manufacture. Oils extracted with high heat or excessive force become potentially inflammatory and devoid of nutrients. This is why sourcing quality ingredients is absolutely key.

We only source the highest quality cold-pressed and USDA Organic sunflower oil. Our unrefined sunflower oil utilizes a special press to extract oil at low temperatures (95° - 105° F), yielding just a few quarts per hour. Their atmosphere control system keeps it free from exposure to light and oxygen. Unfiltered, retaining all the nutrients, and bottled in amber glass, this delicate unrefined sunflower oil is the purest you can find.

Boobamilk was designed to be a complement to your nutrition and feeding plan and is intended for supplemental feeding only. We always suggest working with your [fur]babies doctor to ensure all of their nutritional needs are being met.

Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water prior to preparing Boobamilk.

Simply mix the indicated amount of powder with the indicated amount of purified water (preferably warm) in a pre-sterilized container of choice.

Accurate rehydration of Boobamilk powder is imperative for maintaining the desired nutrient ratios per serving. We provide you with detailed instructions on how to safely rehydrate your Boobamilk powder on the back of your pouch and also here.

To ensure the utmost safety of the product, Boobamilk powder that is rehydrated with warm water should be used within 1 hour of mixing and not refrigerated.

If cool or room temperature water is used to rehydrate the powder, the rehydrated liquid can be stored in the refrigerator at 35-40°F (2-4°C) for up to 24 hours.

Discard any rehydrated liquid that is left over from a feeding or after 24 hours in the refrigerator.

Some clumping may happen due to the fats in Boobamilk powder. Gently heat the container containing the Boobamilk liquid under hot running water or place the container in a hot water bath for 1-2 minutes, then mix again. We recommend using warm water to rehydrate and a frothing wand for mixing to avoid clumping.

Yes, this is due to the gelatin in the product and is completely normal. Just give it a few big shakes and proceed as normal.

Boobamilk is a natural product that has not been homogenized and contains no emulsifiers. This means some separation may occur after rehydration and is completely normal. Just give it a few shakes and proceed as normal.

Unopened bags of Boobamilk powder can be stored in a cool, dark, dry space such as your pantry.

Opened bags of Boobamilk powder need to be tightly re-sealed and kept in a cool, dry place, limiting exposure to moisture, oxygen or heat. Once opened, use within 30 days. Discard entire pouch if moisture is introduced at any time.

Do not store in extreme temperatures. There is no need to refrigerate or freeze Boobamilk powder.

To ensure the utmost safety of the product, Boobamilk powder that is rehydrated with warm water should be used within 1 hour of mixing and not refrigerated.

If cool or room temperature water is used to rehydrate the powder, the rehydrated liquid can be stored in the refrigerator at 35-40°F (2-4°C) for up to 24 hours.

Discard any rehydrated liquid that is left over from a feeding or after 24 hours in the refrigerator.

An unopened bag of Boobamilk powder currently has a 6 month shelf life from manufacture date. This is a provisional date based on current testing, and will likely increase pending final shelf life testing results.

Once opened, use the powder within 30 days of opening. To ensure the safety of your product throughout that time, please completely re-seal the zipper and keep the bag in a cool, dark, dry place, limiting exposure to moisture, oxygen or heat.

The powder will rapidly start to attract moisture if left unsealed, which can lead to bacterial growth as the raw milk powder was not pasteurized during the freeze-drying process. Leftover powder should be discarded after the 30 day period, or if moisture is introduced into the bag at any point in time.

Our products are hand-made with care in small batches in a certified and licensed commercial kitchen in Moscow, Idaho.

We use a lyophilization (freeze-drying) process to turn our liquid gold into powdery nourishment. Our freeze-drying process never heats the milk above 95° F, ensuring the nutrients are preserved and our products remain biologically alive.

When raw milk is heated significantly above body temperature, enzymes are inactivated, bacteria are killed, proteins are denatured, minerals are no longer in a bioactive and bioavailable matrix, and vitamins are no longer bioavailable. This is why we take such care in manufacturing our nourishing powder!

No, every bag is packaged by hand.

Freeze-drying, also known as lyophilization, is a process that removes moisture from a product while preserving its structure and nutrients. Here's how it works in steps:

1. Freezing: The product is first frozen at very low temperatures. This step solidifies the water inside the product.
2. Vacuum Chamber: The pressure in the chamber is then lowered, creating a vacuum.
3. Sublimation: Under the low-pressure conditions, the ice in the product doesn't melt into liquid water. Instead, it undergoes sublimation, which is when the solid ice turns directly into water vapor (gas) without becoming liquid. The vapor is then removed from the chamber.
4. Secondary Drying: After the majority of the water is removed, the product is heated slightly (no more than 90° in our case) to remove any remaining moisture. This step helps ensure the product is completely dry and stable for long-term storage.

Throughout the entire process, the structure and nutrients of the product are largely preserved because the freezing and vacuum conditions prevent heat damage. Freeze-drying is especially effective for delicate items like proteins, probiotics, and pharmaceuticals, making it a valuable technique in both food and medical industries.

Freeze-drying is a gentle process that effectively preserves the nutritional composition of Boobamilk. By using low temperatures and avoiding direct heat, it minimizes nutrient loss compared to other drying methods, such as heat drying.

Research has shown that freeze-drying results in little to no significant decline in macronutrients—proteins, fats, carbohydrates, or overall caloric content—ensuring the milk retains its nutritional value.

Freeze-drying offers several advantages over other drying methods, such as heat or air drying. By using low temperatures and avoiding heat, freeze-drying better preserves vitamins, minerals, and other sensitive nutrients that are often degraded during heat processing. This includes heat-sensitive compounds like vitamins C and B, proteins, and enzymes.

Additionally, since freeze-drying removes moisture without applying heat, it maintains the flavor and texture of the product more effectively than traditional drying methods. This makes it particularly beneficial for preserving delicate materials, such as pharmaceuticals, probiotics, and raw milk products, which can lose their effectiveness or nutritional value when exposed to heat.
