Review: We tried Gloot Collagen Glow and Greens & Superfoods supplements

“As someone who is taking my health more seriously in my 30s, I truly believe that supplements are where it’s at. Yes, we need to eat a healthy and balanced diet, but the reality is that our food is not as nutritious as it was when our parents and grandparents were young.

Plus, in this day and age, it is almost impossible to banish processed and convenient foods from your life completely. By adding good quality supplements to your daily diet, you can ensure your body receives all the nutrients it needs to function optimally.

I first discovered Gloot on social media, where I was drawn in by the brand’s positive client testimonials and its values. Gloot is built for women, by women, and its focus lies in female health, wellness and beauty. I love that they aim to empower women through health, allowing them to achieve their wellness and fitness goals.

But when it comes to dietary supplements, the formulation and quality of the ingredients are key. Gloot is entirely transparent with their ingredient lists, and I love that each item has some of the key ingredient info in bold on the front of the packaging, such as “0g sugar”, “gluten free”, or “high in antioxidants.”

I have been testing two products from the range – the Gloot Greens & Superfoods and Collagen Glow, and I have been loving them!

I usually avoid superfood or vegetable-based powder supplements for the straightforward reason that most of them taste awful. Yes, it’s a small sacrifice for the nutrients your body gets, but I’ve tried some that were rancid, and I struggled to drink them.

I was a little nervous that the Gloot Greens & Superfoods supplement would be the same. After all, it contains over 30 organic superfoods, from brussels sprout concentrate to broccoli sprout concentrate… But I could not have been more wrong.

I tried the Lemon & Lime flavour (there are a couple of variants, including pineapple and berry), and to my complete surprise, I enjoyed the taste. It has a delicious sherbet-like flavour without being too sweet. I’ve been mixing mine with 200ml of water, and drinking it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

Superfoods have a host of benefits for the body, and some of the benefits you can expect from taking this supplement include less bloating and support for gut health, enhanced energy, a strengthened immune system and better digestion.

This is an excellent supplement for me, because even though I enjoy eating vegetables, I know that I don’t get a big enough variety in my diet. The supplement makes it easy (and tasty) to consume more than 30 organic superfoods in a day, plus, it contains some protein too.

I’ve noticed an improvement in my overall energy levels since taking this, and my gut health has been good too. I usually take a probiotic, but because this is full of natural digestive enzymes, I haven’t needed to.

The other Gloot product I’ve been putting to the test is Collagen Glow, which contains 5g of hydrolysed collagen per serving, as well as vitamin C, biotin and Q10. Collagen has become a very popular supplement thanks to the variety of benefits it offers.

We all know that it’s excellent for the skin, hair and nails, but did you know that collagen is also beneficial for your joints, muscles and bones? It is one of the building blocks of our bodies. In addition to aiding youthful-looking skin and promoting shiny hair and healthy hair growth, collagen helps reduce joint pain and supports healthy bones and muscles. While everyone can benefit from it, it’s an excellent supplement for anyone who trains and exercises regularly.

I am pretty diligent about taking collagen daily, so the Gloot Collagen Glow fits into my regimen with ease. I tried the Unflavoured as well as the Mango Lime variant. Much like the Lemon Lime Greens & Superfoods supplement, the Mango Lime flavour is delicious. Mix one level scoop of the powder with 300ml of water, then enjoy the tasty drink – so simple!

For the Unflavoured variant, I chose to add this to whatever food or drink I was having – from mixing it into my yoghurt or soup, to stirring the powder through a stew, it is completely tasteless, so it doesn’t interfere with the flavours of your meal or drink.

I follow a regular gym routine, and I’m sure that the collagen has helped in aiding my joints and muscles as I navigate my way through weight training. I am also a firm believer in its ability to improve my skin, hair and nails. I’ve noticed that my hair and nails have been growing a lot faster than usual, which is likely due to my increased collagen intake.

While the Gloot range is vast and I have only tried two of their products so far, I am very impressed by the quality. The supplements are easy and enjoyable to take, filled with high-quality ingredients, and free from unnecessary additives. I will definitely be re-purchasing and am looking forward to putting more of the Gloot supplements to the test.”
