Daily Essentials
The Daily Essentials range of products is the largest that mindbodygreen offers. Products in this supplement category include:
- multivitamins
- eye health
- omega-3
- daily detox
- immune support
Below, we look at the company’s vitamin D supplement in more detail.
- Price: $30
- Dose: one gelcap a day
- Count: 30 gelcaps
- Active ingredients: vitamin D
Mindbodygreen recommends these vitamin D capsules for bone, teeth, muscle, and immune health. The supplement includes avocado, flaxseed, and olive oil. It is free from dairy, GMOs, gluten, and soy, but it is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians due to the gelatin capsule.
Each capsule provides 625% of a person’s daily recommended vitamin D intake.
Below, a Healthline senior editor gives their opinions on mindbodygreen’s vitamin D supplement. They received the product for free from the brand and tried it for up to a week. All opinions are their own.
Our tester’s experience
“[Before trying these supplements, I was] aware of Mindbodygreen as a magazine or a company that writes about health and wellness. I didn’t realize they [sold] their own line of wellness products.
“My vitamins arrived in a small, neat cardboard package with mindbodygreen clearly branded on the box. The capsules themselves are smooth, shiny, and filled with clear liquid. They had no particular smell or taste.
“I tried taking a capsule first thing in the morning on an empty stomach with a glass of water, and I didn’t notice any stomach discomfort or burps afterward. Taking a capsule after eating food was just as easy as on an empty stomach or first thing in the morning.
“It’s nice that the D3 for this vitamin is derived from a plant or algae, but the capsule has bovine gelatin, so it’s not vegetarian or vegan [friendly]. [The vitamins] being in a brown glass bottle is a nice touch, even if it’s just aesthetic, since it means light is less likely to affect the vitamins in the bottle.
“This is a good option for people who don’t mind swallowing capsule pills. They may not be a good option for people with an avocado allergy or latex allergy that causes them to react to avocado. I’d recommend these vitamin D capsules based on the fact that they were easy to swallow.”
— Candice Abellon, Healthline senior editor
Sleep
The Sleep Support+ supplement is the only option in mindbodygreen’s sleep range.
- Price: $60
- Dose: two capsules daily
- Count: 60 capsules
- Active ingredients: magnesium bisglycinate, jujube, PharmaGABA
These Sleep Support+ capsules contain the following active ingredients:
- Magnesium bisglycinate: To promote heavy relaxation for deep and restorative sleep. A recent
systematic review showed that magnesium is associated with sleep quality in observational trials but outcomes were less certain in clinical trials. - Jujube: Traditionally used in Chinese medicine, jujube may calm an individual and improve sleep quality. One
study on postmenopausal women found that jujube can improve sleep quality. However, more research is needed. - PharmaGABA: A natural form of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), mindbodygreen claims PharmaGABA can help to calm overactive minds, help a person fall asleep faster, deeper, and longer. However, a
2020 systematic review states there is limited evidence for its effectiveness.
These capsules are suitable for vegans. They are free from dairy, soy, gluten, GMOs, and melatonin. The company says the capsules are nondrowsy.
Positive reviews from customers mention that these capsules helped them fall asleep faster and allowed them to wake up without feeling groggy. However, some more negative comments discuss the high price. Some buyers found they were waking during the night once the effects of the supplement wore off.
Gut Health
Mindbodygreen has two supplements in this category: organic Prebiotic Fiber and Probiotic+.
- Price: $60
- Dose: one scoop daily
- Count: 5.8 oz, or 20 servings
- Active ingredients: organic guar fiber, organic green kiwifruit, organic mushroom trio, Bacillus subtilis probiotic
According to mindbodygreen, this prebiotic powder may have benefits for improving the regularity of a person’s bowel movements and reducing bloating.
According to the company, the supplement’s active ingredients have the following functions:
- Organic guar fiber: Promotes regularity, healthy stools, gut transit time, satiety, healthy blood sugar, and cholesterol levels. Although more studies are needed, one
8 week study found guar gum could improve gut health. - Organic green kiwifruit: Improves digestion, bloating, and gastric comfort. Kiwi may help increase the number of bowel movements in those with constipation, according to a 2023 trial.
- Organic mushroom trio: Supports digestive and immune health. A
2023 review states that the polysaccharides in mushrooms may help regulate the gut microbiota and enhance health in humans. - Bacillus subtilis probiotic: Contains 5 billion colony forming units and reduces gas and bloating. A
2021 study found that the strain of Bacillus subtilis MB40, which mindbodygreen includes in this supplement, can significantly reduce bloating and gas. However, this study only included male participants.
This supplement is vegan, U.S. Department of Agriculture certified organic, and is free from GMOs, gluten, dairy, and soy.
Positive customer reviews about this product frequently mention seeing noticeable results and ease of use. There are limited negative reviews, but one reviewer suggests they did not like the smell or taste of the supplement.
Beauty
The beauty supplement range from mindbodygreen includes two products: Beauty & Gut Collagen and Cellular Beauty+.
- Price: $70
- Dose: one scoop daily
- Count: 20 servings
- Active ingredients: grass-fed collagen, hyaluronic acid, L-glutamine, turmeric & sulforaphane glucoseinolate, biotin, vitamins C and E
This powder supplement is available unflavored or in chocolate flavor.
The company reports the following active ingredients having the following functions:
- Grass-fed collagen: To promote skin hydration, elasticity, and smoothness. Recent
2022 research suggests that collagen supplements can help improve skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles. - Hyaluronic acid: To reduce fine lines and wrinkles and increase skin moisture. Hyaluronic acid is a popular ingredient in skin products, as it can
improve wrinkles and dry skin. - L-glutamine: To nurture the integrity of the gut barrier. One
2018 study found that glutamine supplementation reduced irritable bowel syndrome after an intestinal infection. However, a2021 review of clinical trials states glutamine has no effect on irritable bowel disease. More research is needed to confirm the benefits of glutamine on irritable bowel disease. - Turmeric & sulforaphane glucosinolate: To protect from oxidative stress and reduce the signs of aging.
Research from 2019 found that curcumin supplementation decreased markers of inflammation and increased antioxidant levels. Curcumin is the active compound in turmeric. Plus, sulforaphane supplementation reduced skin aging in animals, according to a2019 study . However, studies involving humans are necessary to confirm the benefits of this ingredient in supplements. - Biotin: Supporting strong hair, skin, and nails. At present, experts
do not recommend that healthy people use biotin supplements daily, and there is limited evidence to show it benefits the hair or nails. - Vitamins C and E: To promote natural collagen production and support healthy aging. A
2018 review showed that vitamin C supplementation increased collagen synthesis and reduced oxidative stress. Vitamin E is an antioxidant thatmay protect the skin against sun damage, which is one of the leading causes of skin aging.
The product contains collagen from animal sources, meaning it is unsuitable for vegans. However, the supplement is free from GMOs, gluten, dairy, soy, and sugar.
Positive reviews from customers mention that the supplement has a good flavor and some buyers observed noticeable results. More critical comments mention the high price, and some buyers had difficulty mixing the product.
Our tester’s experience
“I’m something of a beginner when it comes to powdered supplements, so it took a few tries before I found the right method for mixing this unflavored powder into the right beverage and not having it come out super lumpy.
“I initially tried room temperature water (definitely not recommended), then tried orange juice (not bad, but not ideal due to the overall acidity of the OJ). I also initially tried a mini whisk to blend it, which didn’t work at all — so I resorted to a battery-operated milk frother, which was better, though not flawless. If you don’t have one of these or an immersion blender, mixing might be challenging.
“Ultimately, learning how to mix this and what to mix it with is step one to reaping its benefits. I found that a simple smoothie-style beverage was ultimately best, but others on the website mix it with ginger tea, coffee, etc.
“Some reviewers on the mindbodygreen site said they did not like the taste of the unflavored powder. I didn’t have any issue with that and wasn’t turned off by any kind of aftertaste. For me, it was more a matter of getting the powder fully blended into my beverage of choice.
“Beyond that, I liked the results I felt and saw. This product is packed with several of the essential supplements I’m looking for at my stage of life, from collagen and biotin to L-glutamine and hyaluronic acid.
“I’m on a high-protein regimen, and this boasts 16g of protein per dose, which was a huge bonus for me. It’s also packed with vitamin C, vitamin E, and biotin, so I was able to ditch my daily pill versions of those supplements.”
– Rita Mauceri, senior director of commerce
