Coming Sett creates healthier, elevated alternatives for the intelligent nicotine consumer. Like you, we understand that nicotine and tobacco are not one and the same. We use nicotine products ourselves - but we knew these products weren’t built for us. We don’t use these products at the frat house, we use them to support focus and energy. To get shit done. And for that purpose - we knew we could build something better than dusty, gas-station pouches.

Prelude is on a mission to harness nature’s wisdom for a healthier world - creating and sharing products that heal us from the inside out. Preludes daily colostrum supplements support whole-body wellness.

Our colostrum is responsibly sourced from U.S. dairy farms that prioritize the well-being of their calves. Our partner farms follow responsible practices to ensure calves receive the colostrum they need first. We then source the remaining, surplus colostrum, minimizing waste and maximizing the potential health benefits it can offer. Prelude colostrum is always sourced and manufactured in the U.S.A. Our colostrum follows the strictest protocols ensuring it remains full-fat, unstripped, and undiluted. We dont tamper with the perfect balance of the nutrients nature’s created—all the essential fats and proteins are delivered intact for maximum nutrient density.
