Darius International

Darius International was a health and wellness company primarily known for its development and marketing of bovine colostrum-based nutritional supplements. Founded in the mid-1990s and based in Pennsylvania, the company utilized a direct-to-consumer network marketing model to distribute its flagship product, "First Milking Colostrum." The company's focus was on the immunological benefits of colostrum for human health, positioning itself as a leader in the specialized nutrition space. In 1999, Darius International was acquired by the Dutch baby food and clinical nutrition giant Royal Numico (now part of Danone) to bolster its presence in the high-growth North American nutritional supplement market.
