The Best Supplements & Powders
Hundreds of superpowered beauty powders, capsules and gummies are now available, providing a wide range of beauty and health benefits.
There has been a rapid increase in the number of people who have begun taking supplements, either in pill or powder form. According to Health Careers, the global supplement market will be worth $216.3 billion by 2026.
Of course, not all supplements are created equal.
Below is a list of some of the most effective supplements and powders, including some that we thoroughly tested.
1. Oskia
Oskia have created a natural food supplement combining Lactoferrin (derived from natural cow milk) and L-Glutamine designed to support the function of the natural immune system, guy microbiome, oral and skin health. It’s important to understand the basics of these two ingredients before truly understanding these supplements. Lactoferrin is a protein that occurs naturally in milk and our bodily fluids. We need this protein to fight infections. Lactoferrin, as a supplement, improves iron status, skin health, immunity and other factors.
L-Glutamine is a type of amino acid made by our muscles. Proteins and amino acids have numerous roles to play in our body. Specific to our bodies' carbon and nitrogen transport, glutamine aids in neural function, intestinal function and immune system boosting .
After putting this supplement through its paces, we found that it helped clear up a few hormonal blemishes, likely due to the Lactoferrin. It's also interesting to note that taking this product throughout the menstrual cycle significantly reduced the severity of period cramps, likely due to the L-Glutamine. While one of us swallowed the pill, the other opened the capsule and added water to the contents. We love it!

2. Welleco
The Super Elixir from luxury Aussie brand Welleco is a green powder that the brand describes as a daily health supplement, made up of over 30 naturally derived ingredients such as probiotics, minerals, herbal extracts and vitamins.

Another notable feature of the The Super Elixir is that all ingredients are added in scientifically calculated ratios, designed to work together to support all 11 systems of the body such as your digestive, muscular and reproductive systems.
3. The Nue Co.
The Nue Co. has created the skin supplement to deliver great results for all ages and skin types.
Our skin's lipid barrier deteriorates as we grow older.
The Skin Hydrator aims to repair the lipid through PhytoCeramides, hydrolyzed collagen, aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and astaxanthin.
4. Dr. David Jack
If your beauty powder was created by an aesthetic doctor, you'd probably trust it to deliver great results. Dermatologist and aesthetician Dr. Jack, has created a skin-boosting supplement powder that is powerful enough to repair and regenerate the skin from the moment you take it.
The SkinShake contains a variety of skin-friendly ingredients, including pea and hemp protein, which aids in the maintenance of the skin's structure and function. This tasty powder also includes antioxidants, as well as essential vitamins and minerals, to aid in cellular repair and regeneration. You can choose between two delicious flavours: cacao or Madagascan vanilla,.
Shake into your oats, smoothies or banana pancakes, and watch your skin glow.
5. Nuut.
Nuut’s scientifically formulated, plant-based powders are nutritionally formulated to give your body exactly what it needs, by nourishing what it lacks and enhancing what it already has.
We particularly love their Keto powder, which is perfect blended with oat milk. It is the perfect nutritional hit on-the-go, made with a certified organic superfood pea blend and enriched with vitamins and minerals.
6. The Good Mood Co.
The Good Mood Company is a science-based company that creates formulas based on science and free from flavourings, lactose, soy and sweeteners.
Available in environmentally-friendly packaging, their formulas are designed to tackle our top 3 pain points: lack of sleep, brain fog and slow-starting mornings.
If you're anything like Arianna Huffington (and believe that a great night’s sleep is the key to success), the plant-powered ‘Good Night' capsules are the perfect place to start.
