Whether you are trying to heal a particular symptom or condition, or merely seeking to optimize your health to promote the most pristine longevity for your wiser years, we understand the struggle. If you’re looking to improve your sleep, regain a normal gut microbiome or support your nervous system or just plain take a quality, organic multivitamin, then look no further than MindyBodyGreen.

You may be thinking, “Great, another supplement company.” We get it, but we feel this company sets it apart from the others in a big, green, holistic way. MindBodyGreen focuses on sourcing legitimate ingredients that are present in high enough quantities to become bioavailable to your system.

In other words, the ingredients you see listed are not only present and resourced responsibly but contain the correct potency. That’s a massive deal (or at least we think!). Following the coveted current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) as regulated by the FDA and have four rounds of third-party testing, MindBodyGreen has got our attention. Let’s take a peek.

Overview of MindBodyGreen

Founded by Jason and Collen Wachob 2009, this intentional couple set out to create a wellness brand that met all their personal needs. Searching in their local health food stores initially, Jason and Colleen couldn’t quite find what they were looking for.

Instead, they took to creating a wellness line in partnership with quality-sourced and Earth-in-mind harvesting that not only benefits the farmers they sourced from, by their bodies and those they envisioned seeking health aide. They also knew that creation takes a collective effort, so they began to reach out to scientists, researchers, healthcare practitioners, and nutritionists, to bring you the most potent ingredients in your supplement.

Containing sleep support, ultimate multivitamin, beauty + gut collagen, brain guard, among a wholesome, organic variety of others including the coveted nootropics, adaptogens, omega-3 lines, MindBodyGreen has no problem saying “no” to suppliers who do not follow an ethically, organic, Mother Earth-minded approach to harvesting ingredients. Healthy boundaries, literally.

MindBodyGreen Quiz – Find Your Needs

When it comes to discovering your nutritional and supplemental needs, it can feel daunting. How many of you have been in a health food store, felt overwhelmed reading the back of a label, unsure if it’s truly efficacious, and just ended up ordering a generic brand online from a large wholesaler hoping that it’ll meet your needs? Me, too.

Let’s be real, it’s not only frustrating, but can be defeating at best. MindBodyGreen has got you covered with their beautiful, science-based crafted Supplemental Quiz. Take a quick 90-seconds to determine which supplements are most appropriate for your health needs and age.

I took it and, surprisingly, it was eerily accurate to what my naturopathic practitioner has suggest I supplement into my daily diet. Submit your quiz and within seconds you’ll have an accurate list to your health needs from MindBodyGreen’s organic line—wellness should be fun and easy.

A Dive Into MindBodyGreen Products

While the Supplemental Quiz is super helpful in knowing what you may need, but let’s investigate four of MindBodyGreen’s top sellers: sleep support, ultimate multivitamin, beauty + gut collagen, and brain guard. All products are manufactured, packaged, and produced in the United States so you can feel good about supporting your fellow brethren in the fight of holistic longevity.

MindBodyGreen Sleep Support+ Review

Obtaining restful sleep may truly be one of the greatest internal wars many humans face. Whether you’re inundated with stress from a job, family, relationship, or just your daily commute, increased cortisol levels can wreck havoc on our circadian rhythms.

While there is an abundance of sleep aid out there, dependency (relying on it due to an undercurrent potential of addictiveness) can be a deep consideration for many.

Thankfully, MindBodyGreen took on that challenge to create an non-addictive sleep aid that promotes relaxation and allows you to fall—and stay—in a deep slumber. No prescription necessary and avoiding melatonin that often leaves us feeling groggy upon wakening, at first glance you may wonder, “What is even in this?”

Thankfully, MindBodyGreen keeps it simple with only three ingredients: Magnesium bisglycinate, jujube, and pharmagaba®. Non-GMO, vegan, soy-free, gluten-free, and no “hidden” preservatives.

Only $49 per month through MindBodyGreen’s subscription plan, we believe you can feel confident that investment will bring you a sweet rest.

Magnesium bisglycinate:

We likely know that magnesium can promote a relaxation state, but how? Magnesium acts on two key receptors, NMDA and GABA, which block and upregulate, respectively, promoting a relaxing, calm state of being.

The best part, magensium bisglycinate, has a special molecular form that has been known to have the greatest bioavailability, most readily available to access the brain, and the least amount of gastrointestinal discomfort, and thus less dehydration qualities. ^(2,3)

In fact, in the elderly community, it is suggested that magnesium bisglycinate has the highest bioavailability as there seems to be an inverse relationship between age and ability to absorb magensium. ^(2,3)  It seems MindBodyGreen has done thorough research to know which molecular structure of magnesium (120 mg per serving) is most beneficial to promote restorative sleep.

Jujube:

Within Sleep Support contains 225mg of Jujube, Ziziphus jujuba, extract. A fruit home to China, but world renowned for its ability to offer neuronal support and acts as a mild sedative. Containing a large variety of bioactive compounds that include amino acids, fatty acids, and polysaccharides, jujube has been suggested to also possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and even anti-tumor properties. ⁽⁴⁾

PharmaGABA®:

Within the body, GABA, is a neurotransmitter that helps calm your nerves. But what is PharmaGABA®? PharmaGABA® is a bioavailable, natural form of GABA that is produced by the bacterium, Lactobacillus hilgardii. Research has shown that this promotes—and maintains—a deep, calming restful state. ⁽⁵⁾

MindBodyGreen Ultimate Multivitamin+ Review

While we’re not naturopathic experts here, it’s safe to say that many Westerns could use a multivitamin – regardless of how biodiverse and organic their diet may be. We still experience environmental pollution, internal stressors, hormone imbalance from said external influences, all of which can influence our ability to absorb necessary ingredients throughout our day.

So how do we combat this, by enhancing our intake. MindBodyGreen is on board with this ideology by offering their ultimate multivitamin that contains 33 premium ingredients: 14 vitamins, 13 minerals, and 6 botanical bioactive.

Only $59 per month through the subscription plan, in the long run, this may offer you the mineral-dense, antioxidant complex, high potency longevity you seek. Let’s look at some key ingredients packed into a single vegan, gluten-free, soy-free blend:

High-potency B Complex:

Containing thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, B6, biotin, folate, and B12, this complex of B vitamins are essential for maintain energy levels, DNA replication, cellular regeneration, red blood cell growth, and serve as cofactors for hundreds of chemical reactions throughout the body.

Antioxidant Complex:

Containing glutathione, a scavenger of free radical species, plus resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant and antiinflammatory sourced from Japanese knotweed to vitamin E, and beta-carotenes, also known for their potent removal of free radicals. ^{(6, 7, 8)} Why do we care? Well, the less free radicals that modify our proteins, lipids, and DNA means the less likely disease formation (think: cancer, autoimmune diseases) develop. ⁽⁸⁾

Longevity Botanicals:

Also containing resveratrol, the longevity blend includes glutathione, a potent scavenger of free radicals, lycopene from red tomatoes that reduce radical species and promote immunity health, as well as lutein, a carotenoid known for its incredible antiinflammatory properties. ^{(9, 10)}

In other words, MindBodyGreen has taken some of Nature’s most heavy fighters to combat environmental stressors that cause free radical formation and propagates aging and disease formation at a faster than normal rate.

Mineral Array:

When it comes to mineral deficiencies, replenishing our levels can be truly tricky business. How do you know if it’s a proper amount, too much or not enough? MindBodyGreen has created a carefully formulated, bioavailable blend of chelated iron, zinc, copper, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, boron, plus potassium, iodine, selenium, and a trace, sourced from bamboo, mineral silica.

MindBodyGreen Beauty & Gut Collagen+ Review

One of MindBodyGreen’s most popular item, beauty + gut collagen contains 17.7 grams of grass-fed collagen per serving with the added benefit of vitamin C and E, biotin, plus turmeric (adding that benefit of joint health and anti-inflammatory function in the gut!).

We often think of collagen for promoting skin, hair, and nail wellness, but the same Type I and III collagen also lines the interior of your gut. Added benefit? Hyaluronic acid! A key ingredient in every major skincare line that has been known to lock in moisture along the dermal layer of the skin.

More moisture means plumper skin and minimizing signs of wrinkles. Coming in two flavors, unflavored and chocolate, the chocolate contains and added benefits of organic cocoa and sweetened only with organic monk fruit. All package in a recyclable bag with a BPA-free scoop!

Brain Guard:

Your brain is everything. One of my mentors in medical school, who was a well-respected psychiatrist once said, “I’d rather have a keen, peaceful mind, than an ailing body—to be locked in a mental fog or worse, psychotic terror, would be more tortuous.”

Now, we’re not saying this will cure psychotic symptoms, but point is, our brain deserves much-needed love in the form of scrumptious nootropic, neuronutrient support. Without a peaceful, stable mind, the way we perceive our reality on the daily is drastically affected!

Kanna:

A potent nootropic blend coming from the kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) root, sourced from South Africa. Nootropics are a naturally formed compounds that boost nutrition to our brain cells by increasing blood flow and supporting neuronal regeneration.

Known to balance neurotransmitters like serotonin, improve cognitive couth, and improve one’s stress response, it almost seems like life without nootropics is nearly unimaginable. ⁽¹¹⁾   

Citicoline:

A molecule like phosphatidylcholine, which gets converted into cytidine and choline, citicoline enters the brain and offer purported neuroprotective effects. ⁽¹²⁾ It is rapidly metabolized upon oral consumption for optimum efficacy, and it believed to contribute to optimum brain cell function and improve cognitive concentration. ⁽¹¹⁾

Resveratrol:

150mg of potential antioxidant powers, resveratrol is thought to be a neuroprotective that abates the harmful effects of free radical species; thereby promoting vital neurotransmission to ensures keen, long-term memory formation and rapid analytical processing. ⁽¹¹⁾

MindBodyGreen Reviews – What Do Customers Thinks?

By now, you likely have an opinion created about the sort of ingredients that have gone into the masterful piece of some of MindBodyGreen’s most popular products. But what have customers and health practitioners thought? It takes one to know one, so let’s look.

In this MindBodyGreen review, Dr. Uma Naidoo, M.D., Nutritional Psychiatrist and Professional Chef, shares her opinion on Brain Guard, “Unique trio of neuroprotective ingredients with clinical research demonstrating effectiveness.” Amazing! An actual medicine-trained, nutritional psychiatrist who has married a passion of nutrients with brain wellness. What better source of advice to receive on brain guard? 

Another MindBodyGreen review, by customer who has tried Brain Guard, states: “This product revolutionized my ability to be able to concentrate during my workday and stay in the task—I am currently engaged.” We love it! To experience a notable difference in cognition and memory, all whilst keeping on task!

What about when it comes to the ultimate multivitamin? Board-Certified Endocrinologist, Dr. Brittany Henderson writes, “I haven’t seen a better ingredient line up in a multivitamin—ever.”

Bold statement, but coming from a practicing physician who heals a plethora of hormonal imbalances, often due to mineral and vitamin deficiencies, perhaps MindBodyGreen is on to something.

Another MindBodyGreen review, by a customer sharing their experience using the Beauty & Gut Collagen, states: “This is the most taste-neutral collagen product I have used, and the added ingredients have helped make my hair and nails stronger.”

Love it, tastes good and feels good knowing you see the difference. For some MindBodyGreen reviews, on the other hand, some mention a shared complaint about the taste of collagen and its ability (or lack thereof) to be mixed homogenously within liquids.

It’s important to note that MindBodyGreen believes in giving you the purest, cleanest ingredients Mother Nature has to offer. That means no additives that make collagen diluted and powdery, which is what some souls may be used to if this is not the first collagen they have tried.

Another MindBodyGreen review, by a well-rested customer who shares their experience with sleep support, states: “Noticed a difference in sleep quality almost immediately. Magnesium supplements are a regular part of our routine, this one has proven more effective that others we have tried.”

There are a TON of options out there when it comes to magnesium-related sleep support. But to hear from one thrilled customer that it has been one of the more effective sleep aides out there, we love to hear it.

Lastly, another MindBodyGreen review, by a customer who is a physician, states: “I first started using Sleep Support a couple years ago. I am a physician and quite busy. Sometimes the stress of the job can over run the effectiveness of the supplement. So I assumed this was yet another of the over marketed supplements sold over the internet. Nothing worked for me but I decided to try it again and take any B vitamins except in tRead more about review stating Wonderful product !!!!!he AM. I started sleeping well. I used my BS in Natural Science and read several papers on the di-magnesium glycinate and realized that it is best taken on an empty stomach. No midnight snacks and then I would awaken in the morning fully refreshed. Congratulations !! You have a superb product as investigated by this old MD.”

Kuddos, MindBodyGreen, turning lives around one solid sleep session at a time.
