There's a couple of key issues with Armra right off the bat, and that really comes down to what is a low dose as well as a lack of standardization. In short that means that you're not getting enough of the active compounds in colostrum for it to actually do it's thing meaning that we can't rate Armra very highly.
The fact is that this is another case of where all of the money went on the packaging and on the marketing rather than producing something that was actually any good.
If you're looking to get a colostrum powder, you'll need one that has about 3-5 times as much per serving if it isn't standardized for immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and PSPs as those are the things that do all of the work. And as you probably figured out, to get a high enough dose from standard colostrum like Armra, that's the amount you'd need to get enough.
Now, there are companies that do standardize for these, Nootrum Colostrum standardizes for all 3 and comes out at the same price as Armra, but if you want something a bit cheaper, then Miracle Moo standardize for 2 out of 3.
Explaining Why Armra Fails
For a colostrum supplement actually be effective, you need to look for the following doses.
- Immunoglobulins: At least 20%, equating to 200 milligrams. Immunoglobulins are antibodies that play a crucial role in identifying and neutralizing pathogens, thereby bolstering the immune system. A study published in Nutrition Reviews highlights the importance of immunoglobulins in colostrum for passive immunity transfer and pathogen defense.
- Lactoferrin: At least 1%, equating to 10 milligrams. Lactoferrin is a multifunctional protein with antimicrobial properties and aids in iron absorption, supporting the body's defense mechanisms. Research in Advances in Nutrition underscores lactoferrin's role in reducing inflammation and modulating immune function.
- Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRPs): At least 1%, equating to 10 milligrams. PRPs help regulate the immune system, ensuring it responds appropriately to threats without overreacting. A review in Food Production, Processing and Nutrition discusses the immunomodulatory effects of PRPs in colostrum.
What We Liked About Armra
Not everything about Armra was bad, the blood orange flavor is great, and the product itself is fine, the problem is that you need 3 sachets a day to get a full dose, meaning it would cost you over $100 a month whereas you can get better amounts for half the price. It's just overpriced rather than there being something specifically wrong with the product.
Does Armra Work?
So, maybe a little bit, but none of our testers noticed any substantial differences, and those that took other brands saw it as a downgrade.
Armra Review Conclusion
Armra Colostrum is hyper over substance, you're best off getting something else. If you've already bought it, then no need to throw it out, just it's not better than other similarly priced products and is worse than most in it's price range.
