What are supplements? - Dietary supplements are products that add nutrients or other compounds such as vitamins, minerals, herbs, etc.,. They come in many forms — like pills, powders, liquids, and bars — that you can eat or drink. Dietary supplements are designed to supplement — not replace — nutrients or other compounds in your diet.

While the FDA requires supplement manufacturers to adhere to Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP), which are intended to ensure the quality and safety of these products, compliance is not always enforced.
The best way to ensure the quality of a product is to look for one that has been certified by a third-party company.

ARMRA: Modern day living has a negative impact on our environment and on our bodies. The mucosa is your inside suit of armor - a barrier of protection like skin, lining your mouth, sinuses, lungs, and gut. This barrier houses 80% of your immune system and is your first line of defense against everything inhaled and ingested from the outside world.
Yet, modern exposures like pollution, chemicals, and diet cause your barriers to break down. When this barrier is compromised, harmful particles can enter your body.
ARMRA Colostrum™ strengthens your body’s barriers, creating a tight seal that prevents threats from crossing into the bloodstream and guards against inflammation. It’s your best protection against everyday toxins, pollutants, allergens and processed ingredients, paving the way for optimal health and vitality.
