At 30 years old, taking the food newborns drink right after birth as a supplement sounds unusual. However, for Summer House<\/a>\u2019s Ciara Miller, colostrum is the core of her wellness routine. \u201cI\u2019ve actually been using Armra [Colostrum] for about a year now,\u201d she tells ESSENCE.<\/p>\n The first, nutrient-dense form of breast milk, colostrum is the thick, sticky, and yellow substance secreted from the mammary glands for an infant to drink immediately after birth. It\u2019s known as the \u201cfirst immunization\u201d because it\u2019s rich in nutrients such as antibodies, proteins, growth factors, and vitamin A. \u201cFor babies, we know it helps with their immune system and gut health; it\u2019s the liquid gold they talk about with new moms,\u201d Miller says. But, who says you have to stop drinking it? Now, \u201cwe\u2019re approaching this new type of science where we can apply these things that work, for adults.\u201d<\/p>\n While the registered nurse and reality TV star is not actually drinking the breast milk of new mothers, the supplement she takes, Armra Colostrum<\/a>, is a bovine-derived colostrum supplement powder. Scooping the blood orange flavor<\/a> into her water and drinking next to a morning matcha, the first change she noticed, like newborns, was a boost in her immune system.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m always traveling, so it\u2019s easy to be run down with my type of schedule,\u201d she says. Between traveling and not getting enough sleep, it\u2019s been the one supplement she actually uses\u2014that really works\u2014in an industry full of them. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of all in one,\u201d she says. Taking colostrum is the one part of her wellness routine that\u2019s consistent, hitting the target from immune and gut health to metabolism, skin, and hair health. As long as she does that, everything else, like working out or taking a dance class, is \u201cwhatever I can squeeze in for the day.\u201d<\/p>\n At the core of self-optimization culture, the pressure to be \u201con\u201d at all times and constantly improve yourself can be difficult to keep up with. And, at times, even the source of burnout. For Miller, finding just one supplement, especially one similar to our natural bodily functions, helps her show up for herself much more easily. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen the world beats you down you\u2019re all you\u2019ve got,\u201d she says. However, even with taking a supplement, there\u2019s one other thing that keeps her even more grounded in her body. \u201cHonestly, there\u2019s nothing like a Black mom to put you in your place,\u201d she laughs. \u201cThey\u2019ll keep you real all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Courtesy of Armra Colostrum At 30 years old, taking the food newborns drink right after birth as a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":684443,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[61],"tags":[97,269],"class_list":["post-684442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nutrition","tag-health","tag-nutrition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=684442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/684442\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/684443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=684442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=684442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=684442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"This](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ARMRA__CIARA_2188-scaled.jpg\")
