Best Liquid Collagen
Kollo Premium Liquid Marine Collagen, £35.99, kollohealth.com
“This liquid formula has 10,000mg of high-grade marine collagen per serving. Added to that it comes in handy sachets and tastes great. I definitely noticed my hair, skin and nails seemed healthier after taking the month’s supply.”
Best Omega Supplement
Revive Active Omega Active, £24.95, reviveactive.com
“Although this offers a big dose of essential fatty acids, these capsules are really easy to swallow and there is no aftertaste. I take high levels of omega oils to help reduce inflammation and the levels of DHA and EPA in this supplement are higher than other leading nutrient brands, so it’s a big thumbs up from me.”
Best Menopause Day Supplement
Paused Menopause All In One, £29.99, paused.com
“Having taken these for a couple of weeks there is a notable improvement in my brain fog, hot flushes and anxiety! I can also take these without any guilt, knowing all the ingredients are ethically sourced.”
Best Menopause Night Supplement
MenoMY MenoNight Supplement, £19, menomy.com
“My sleep has definitely suffered during perimenopause. This calming mix of magnesium, calcium and vitamin D3 has definitely helped me to have a more restful sleep.”
Best Powder Collagen
Swish.Works Beauty & Brain Rescue, £49,95, swish.works
A high dose of 11,620mg per serving is in this mango-flavoured powdered collagen supplement that also contains magnesium, hyaluronic acid, ashwagandha, and vitamins C, B6 and zinc. The large cardboard tub can be recycled meaning less waste. A good all-round supplement for skin, hair and brain!
Best Nighttime Drink
Welleco The Evening Elixir, £35, welleco.co.uk
“AMAZING! This chocolate drink before bed is fantastic. I’ve already purchased it twice since testing it – my sleep has transformed and it tastes amazing. Must buy!”
Best Overall Sleep Supplement
Metagenics MegaMag® Night, £35.99, nutriadvanced.co.uk
“This supplement has therapeutic doses of magnesium plus other sleep-promoting ingredients like hops, tryptophan and lemon balm, so it really helped my mild insomnia as part of a healthy nighttime routine. I will be buying this again.”
Best Greens Product
Numii Everyday Greens 90g Powder, £22.50, nu-mii.co.uk
“This is great for blending into smoothies and gave me a boost of nutrients through the 15 plant-based ingredients! It has a subtle flavour that doesn’t overpower and I love the added probiotics.”
Best Protein Powder (animal-based)
U-Perform Active Whey & Collagen Chocolate Flavour, £39.95, u-perform.co.uk
“Fantastic blend of protein and collagen, and one of the best-tasting protein powders I’ve tried. This is Informed Sports-certified and perfect for muscle recovery for gym-goers.”
Best Probiotic
Smart Strains For Your Immune System, £26, smartstrains.com
“I love the convenience of the pre-measured sachets. My family and I took this while we were all battling colds, and it was helpful in speeding up our recovery. Each sachet contains an impressive 20 billion live bacteria that support the immune system, along with vitamin D3. I also appreciated that my kids could take these safely, just like the adults.”
Best Multi Supplement
Extracted Ltd Multee, £39.99, extracted.co.uk
“Love that this brand looks a bit funkier than most supplement brands. Also, I like that it comes in a pouch rather than a bottle so is great for travelling. Easy to ingest a comprehensive spectrum of nutrients.”
Best All-round Beauty Supplement
Seabody Beauty, £85, seabody.com
I’ve been taking the Seabody Beauty capsules for around five weeks now and I can see a noticeable difference to my skin – it has more glow and appears clearer. An excellent quality product.
Best Protein Powder (plant-based)
Indi Supplements Recover, £29, indisupplements.com
“I loved this protein shake – it tasted great and didn’t have a powdery texture like some plant-based powders. Better still, it’s not full of sugar or additives.”
Best Functional Mushroom
Together Health Organic Mushroom 5, £27.99, togetherhealth.co.uk
“Functional mushrooms are all the rage, and this supplement contains not one but an impressive five of them! Plus, they’re all organic and full-spectrum extracts, meaning you’re getting all the benefits of the mushrooms. Chaga, lion’s mane, maitake, reishi and shiitake will help both calm when needed and also energise you – they support your body in the way it needs. Great packaging and great value.”
Best Healthy Snack Bar
Indi Supplements The Gut Bar, £20 (for 12), indisupplements.com
“I think this is a good product with clean natural ingredients that would help anyone looking to improve gut health. The packaging is attractive and good for on the go.”
Best For Brain/Mind
Indi Supplements Mind, £45, indisupplements.com
“It’s quick and easy to mix up this drink with an electric whisk, and it tasted lovely – it felt like a treat to have such a delicious chocolatey drink. The ingredients have impressive benefits and it made me feel more alert and focused than usual. I look forward to making this my new morning ritual.”
