What is colostrum?
A recent rise in research on the studies of colostrum are making waves in the health world. Ever heard of it? I didn’t know much about colostrum either before doing research on it. So let’s do a quick lesson in what bovine (cow) colostrum is. It is nutrient rich milk produced the first few days after a cow’s birth. In the case of the brands that prioritize nutrient levels, it is collected even within the first few hours. After, of course, the calf drinks their fill from their mama. Turns out mother cows produce much more colostrum than their babies can drink!
Whether you’re looking for increased energy, a healthier gut, better muscle recovery, improved body functions and immune system, the list goes on of what colostrum can do. Although it sounds crazy, yes, cow colostrum’s components yield benefits for more than just cows! I compared two brands of colostrum and am here to give you answers to many of your questions. And to get straight to the point, this brand blew me away:
We won’t be getting colostrum straight from the cow, so how do we know that supplements out there provide these benefits? How do today’s brands compare to each other? I did my research, read various reviews out there, and checked out brand websites and research provided. Since I grew up in a town full of dairy farming families, I do trust what dairy farmers are doing – and the new brand called WonderCow was started by a dairy family. So I gave WonderCow a try, and have been loving it ever since! How does this product compare to others like it? Here are the stats of WonderCow compared to leading brand, ARMRA backed by studies:
How does WonderCow stack up against other industry leader, ARMRA?
Product Quality + Nutritional Benefits
- High concentration of IgG- immunoglobulin G are antibodies that fight viruses and bacteria, strengthening your immune system.
- Vitamins & Minerals- Vitamins B12, B2, E, D along with Calcium, copper, iron, zinc, phosphorous, manganese, and magnesium are all found in colostrum, contributing to improvement of the body’s systems giving you more energy!
- Growth factors- insulin-like growth factor IGF-1 stimulates cell growth in the gut.
- Enzymes- protect against bacterial infection as well as improved immune functioning.
- processed at a low temperature to best preserve the above components’ benefits.
- WonderCow wins in this category!
Brand Transparency
- Guaranteed 40% per serving vs ARMRA, which doesn’t guarantee an IgG amount.
- WonderCow’s fully transparent label vs ARMRA’s “proprietary” blend listed on the label, meaning there could be unknown ingredients. WonderCow says 100% Colostrum only.
- No additives means zero added or artificial ingredients.
- WonderCow says they use gentle, low-temperature processing. ARMRA claims Cold-Chain BioPotent Technology. Bioactive nutrients hold up their quality at up to 140F, so “cold-chain” is not necessary…as long as brands are prioritizing the nutrients.
- Winner: WonderCow.
Flavors + Options
- ARMRA has different packaging options available, with blood orange and watermelon as single-serve flavors.
- Winner here goes to ARMRA
Price
- WonderCow’s $64.99 for 60 servings, ARMRA is $54.99 for 30 servings. WonderCow is just $10 more for DOUBLE the servings.
- WonderCow wins greater value of cost per serving.
WonderCow also became the #2 best-selling colostrum brand (besides sponsored brands) in only 3 months, despite being newer to the market– something to wonder about.
That’s 4 points to WonderCow, 1 point to ARMRA. Looks to me like WonderCow comes out on top, and after reading this, it might be exactly what you’re looking for!
My ‘Why‘
Over the past few months, I have strayed away from supplement powders after getting into just how ‘fake’ they are. All I wanted was a supplement to give me increased energy, strength, and overall internal health. But adding most kinds of supplements include an endless amount of ingredients or concocted flavor blends they label as “0g of sugar” because they use Stevia (sugar alternative…still fake).
Plus, I didn’t feel stronger or more energized after using supplements, just over-full, which I have since learned was the original intent of protein powders– to help patients gain weight in medical institutions.
With all the advanced technologies out there, something must have been created that is as simple as it should be– something healthy in nature made readily available to the public. No extra fluff, and research to back it up.
WonderCow has been just the thing to change my perspective entirely! I have had more energy at the gym, faster muscle recovery, and much less bloating. Colostrum has simplified my health, and I know it can do the same for you. You won’t be left wondering if you’re trusting the right colostrum supplement. Honest and pure is what you get. Join me and nourish your body with WonderCow.
