ARMRA Colostrum™ confers the same benefits collagen claims, and research suggests it may do so more effectively. Collagen is simply a raw ingredient - and does not get absorbed into the body as collagen, but rather, it is broken down into its individual amino acids just like any other protein with no direct biological activity. However, ARMRA® is very different. It's a proprietary concentrate of over 400+ functional, bioactive nutrients from grass-fed colostrum - a whole food. And contains a host of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, growth factors, peptides, antibodies, essential amino acids, and compounds that work synergistically in the body to naturally activate and revive cellular processes for a host of research-backed, foundational health benefits for immune health, sleep, metabolism, gut health, hair and skin, and lean muscle building and tissue recovery, among others. These functional nutrients can not be found in collagen or from other sources.

If you are currently using collagen with a goal towards skin, hair, and nail benefits - colostrum’s host of protective antioxidants, prebiotics, growth factors, vitamins, and regenerative peptides have been shown in research to support decreased fine lines, enhanced skin radiance, and stem cell collagen production, while also strengthening the skin barrier, which guards against the damage caused by pollutants, toxins, and UV light.*

For hair health, studies show the bioactives in colostrum can support and stimulate hair re-growth by activating hair follicle stem cells.* ARMRA Colostrum™ also feeds regenerative nutrients to the scalp and hair follicle and supports the hair and scalp microbiome for total hair health.

Probiotics are often touted as a gut health solution - but this is problematic for multiple reasons. Probiotics are an attempt to address only 1-part of the 4-part gut wall system (the microbiome). However, studies show that most products on the market are dead before they even reach your gut, and can even trigger the immune system inappropriately in susceptible individuals - which explains why some experience worsening of GI concerns when taking them. Introducing artificially isolated, or dead, organisms into the living and dynamic ecosystem that already exists within each of us, and which varies from person to person, can cause unanticipated effects.  

Alternatively, ARMRA Colostrum™ contains milk oligosaccharides - the most complete and only whole-food form of natural prebiotics that research has shown are effective at building a healthy microbiome. Milk oligosaccharides preferentially feed only the bifido-species of healthy bacteria to balance the microbiome, and replenish the population not just in the gut, but throughout the body including the microbiome of the mouth, lungs, skin, and urinary/reproductive tract. Additionally, colostrum contains peptides, growth factors, and antibodies to provide fortification of ALL 4-layers of the gut wall system for whole gut and health benefits. 

It depends on your objectives and health regimen. Because ARMRA Colostrum™ is a bioactive food, and exclusive source of over 400+ functional nutrients, it works on foundational pathways in the body that translate to whole body benefits, across immunity, gut health, metabolism, sleep quality, energy levels, fitness performance, and skin and hair health, among others. Thus, for those taking supplements to achieve such goals, ARMRA Colostrum™ can serve as an excellent, comprehensive replacement. This includes common products like prebiotics, probiotics, collagen, greens powders, and more. 

It depends on your reason for taking a multivitamin. If you use a multivitamin with a goal of improving overall health and well-being, ARMRA Colostrum™ would serve as a complete replacement, as it’s a whole food and exclusive source of over 400+ living, bioactive nutrients that can’t be found in any other natural source. These compounds work synergistically in the body to strengthen the mucosal barriers for a host of research-backed health benefits, including complete immune and gut support, fueling of metabolism, optimization of the whole body microbiome, while also activating cellular performance to combat the effects of aging and improve fitness performance. 

However, if you require multivitamin supplementation in order to replace specific nutritional deficiencies that you are unable to obtain through your diet, ARMRA Colostrum™ would not replace, but rather, would be an excellent addition, to that. 

ARMRA Colostrum™ supports complete gut health to address the root cause of irregular bowel habits. While ARMRA Colostrum™ cannot replace fiber requirements in low-fiber diets, many people find that they no longer need to take fiber supplements to manage gut issues once the root cause has been addressed.
