"Six-Month Experience with Colostrum: The New Secret to Boosting Immunity, Skin Health, and Digestion!"

“Habit stacking”—tying a new habit to an existing one—is a staple of my daily routine. When I’m on the treadmill, I listen to an educational podcast, when I’m making my post-workout smoothie, I add collagen powder, and before my morning coffee, I take ARMRA colostrum.

It all started when I discovered the power of drinking coffee on an empty stomach. According to functional nutritionist Mugdha Pradhan, founder of iThrive , “The caffeine in coffee acts as a natural stimulant, boosting metabolism by increasing heart rate and energy expenditure.” For this reason, it’s best to drink it within 90 minutes of waking up to align with your body’s natural cortisol rhythm. However, I noticed that drinking coffee right after waking up made me more prone to jitters or an upset stomach. So, I started swapping it out for other options first.

A 2020 study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that drinking a glass or two of water in the morning improved memory and boosted mood. Wanting to add a little extra flavor, I started adding the juice of half a lemon, which helps “stimulate digestion,” according to nutritionist Laura Parada, director of Slow Life House. Although I continued drinking lemon water for a long time, I eventually switched to Athletic Greens’ AG1 greens powder—which I stopped drinking once I tried ARMRA colostrum.

I was introduced to this product by my colleague Laura Jackson, a Vogue shopping writer, who recommended it after she discovered it on Instagram. “I’m not usually a fan of supplements, but I was drawn to the many benefits it advertised,” she says. “My sister and I ordered it at the same time, and we quickly noticed a noticeable improvement: We weren’t sick for as long, our digestion was better, and our skin, nails, and hair were stronger.”

Eager to test the results for myself, I ordered a several-month supply and began my own experiment. Here’s everything you need to know about colostrum, plus my experience after taking it regularly for six months!
