The study was conducted to investigate the micronutrient profile of human colostrum, and to assess the association of maternal characteristics to the micronutrients. Colostral concentrations of antioxidant vitamins E, C, and A were 21.34 8.47, 148.92 43.64, 0.79 0.42 mol/l, respectively. The antioxidant minerals copper, zinc, and iron contents were 19.17 11.73, 63.69 12.82, 11.44 1.46 mol/l, respectively. Maternal characteristics did not have any influence on the colostral micronutrients.
