Why I stopped taking ARMRA colostrum
I’ve been taking colostrum for years. I was probably one of the first customers of ARMRA honestly. It’s no secret that ARMRA has a primary hold on the colostrum market. Celebrity Instagram influencers, every internet ad, and even mainstream TV commercials now! But is it worth the hype? I’ll let you decide.
Recently I’ve made the switch to a different—I believe better—colostrum. Before I tell you which one…you need to know the wild n’ crazy benefits of colostrum, boo. There’s a reason why it’s the first food for newborns. Let’s get into it!
(BTW, all of the benefits I’m going to share are backed up by clinical research)
Immune System Support: Y’all know I’m big on immune support. Bovine colostrum contains these amazing things called immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG, IgM) and lactoferrin, which can help regulate immune function. Studies show that colostrum can support the immune system by boosting antibody production, enhancing mucosal immunity, and preventing infections.
Gut Health & Digestion: Everything comes back to the gut! Colostrum has been shown to help protect and repair the intestinal lining, which can be beneficial for those dealing with gut issues such as leaky gut syndrome or IBS. It contains growth factors like insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), which promote gut health by stimulating the regeneration of intestinal cells.
Increased Lean Muscle Mass & Fat Loss: Bovine colostrum, especially the IGF-1 content, is known to help increase muscle mass and reduce body fat. Some research indicates that it may play a role in enhancing muscle protein synthesis and metabolism. I’m a big believer in muscle-centered medicine, so huge fan of this benefit!
Athletic Performance & Recovery: Colostrum supplementation has been associated with improved endurance, faster recovery, and reduced muscle soreness after exercise. This is primarily due to its growth factors, which help muscle repair and reduce inflammation. This is important for anyone who exercises!
Happy Natural Aging: The growth factors and antioxidants in bovine colostrum may help slow down the aging process by supporting cellular regeneration and protecting against oxidative stress. And hair growth! Hell YES! Some studies have also suggested its role in skin health by promoting collagen production.
Antibacterial & Antiviral Properties: Bovine colostrum contains natural antimicrobial peptides, including lactoferrin and lysozyme, which have been shown to exhibit both antibacterial and antiviral effects. This makes it a useful supplement for those looking to bolster their immune defenses — which should be all of us!
When ONE health supplement has this many amazing benefits, it’s a no brainer dude.
BUT. You need a hefty dose for these benefits, friends.
Organifi’s colostrum provides that.
Code MIMIFIT gets you 20% off!
No shame to ARMRA…I believe they are a high quality product. They’ve been on our Medicin Cabinet for a long time! But there are a few things to consider before dropping $110.00.
$$$$: ARMRA colostrum costs about 91 cents per gram. Organifi colostrum costs about 53 cents per gram. $110 for a 120 gram ARMRA tub vs. $79 for a 150 gram Organifi tub. And you get an extra 20% off Organifi with the discount code MIMIFIT.
Dose: If you’ve ever used ARMRA colostrum before, you’ve seen the tiny scooper that's in the tub. That baby scooper holds one gram of colostrum— which is not nearly the effective dose. You’d need FIVE of those tiny scoops throughout your day to feel and see the benefits. I knew this and would have a few servings throughout the day. But…this approach was insanely expensive. I may be one of their many affiliates, but I still paid for my own colostrum!
Now Organifi’s scooper on the other hand offers a five gram dose! You’ll see quickly that it’s quite a bit of powder — which is what we want, folks.Taste: Hands down, Organifi is the best tasting colostrum I’ve ever had. Some taste like milk…fine. Some taste like powdered cheese…not good. Organifi’s colostrum legit tastes like powdered ice cream. I sh*t you not, it’s like a dessert. Sometimes at night if I’m craving a little nip of something sweet, I dump some colostrum into my mouth and that little craving is quenched, and I’m getting all the benefits I shared above. Hollllerrrr.
How To Use Organifi Colostrum
If you’re ready to try colostrum, there’s a few things you need to keep in mind.
Keep it cold! If you choose to mix your colostrum into a smoothie or something else, do not mix into hot drinks. Organifi is cold processed in the manufacturing to maintain the integrity and bioavailability of the bioactive nutrients. The proteins can be damaged or degraded by high heat. Keeping it cold also minimizes the risk of oxidative damage and ensures that colostrum retains its full spectrum of health benefits.
So mixing into yogurt, smoothies, or even your Organifi Green Juice is all good!Start with a 1/2 scoop. If you choose to dump the colostrum directly into your mouth (like I do!) then I would recommend taking a 1/2 scoop at a time. The first time I had Organifi’s I dumped the full five grams into my mouth and it was definitely a mouthful!
Check it out here and order yours. Remember to use MIMIFIT discount code.
If you needed any more reasons to ditch the spendy stuff and go with Organifi, the last thing I’ll share is that in true Organifi fashion, they went above and beyond to ensure that their colostrum was the highest quality possible. It’s ethically sourced from calves that have had their fill.
And if you needed a reminder, all of Organifi products are:
Sugar-Free
Glyphosate-Free
Gluten-Free
GMO-Free
Hormone-Free
Antibiotic-Free
Soy-Free
Fat-Free
Casein-Free
Corn-Free
Oil-Free
Free From Binders
Again, this post is not meant to bash any one brand…BUT…I am committed to being honest with my friends, followers and readers. There are too many freakin influencers out here just promoting the brands that pay them the most, and I REFUSE to do that.
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Authenticity is my numero uno driver in life. I can’t do it, if my heart is not in it.
I hope you try Organifi’s colostrum and enjoy all the delicous benefits like we have!
