NaturesPlus Source of Life Gold Drink Mix Powder - Whole Food Multivitamin and Mineral for Energy and Immune Support - Vegetarian, Dairy and Gluten Free - 60 Servings, 540g

My regular daily vitamin boost, really good value as packed full of nutrients, tastes great, zingy with tropical fruit flavour. Larger size better value. Great boost to the system I love it.

My background is that I'm 41, work full time and travel around the country on trains , planes and automobiles (taxis). I would say that I'm tired and feel that I have a low level fatigue. Going to the gym gives me an energy boost, but sometimes I'm too busy to go. I've tried lots of supplements, which haven't had any noticeable benefit except for ZMA, but that started to make me oversleep and didn't always work . So with the source of life I find that it gives me a burst of energy and more mental clarity. Also mood is more chilled. Also I'm not flagging so much. Getting up to at 5:30 am on a cold morning going to the airport to fly to Switzerland, usually I feel like a zombie, but with a cap full of source of life I felt pretty good. Best way to describe it was a feeling of being charged with energy and feeling relaxed. When I say charged with energy I don't mean bouncing up and down in a hyper state, just a nice flow of energy. However I noticed that if I take it every day, I do feel a little bit of the underlying fatigue again. I don't know if that because my body is reacting to the high doses in the product and might be overloading. I think that every other day works for me. Usually at the weekend I'm wiped out, but I now find that I'm walking earlier and not having a wiped out feeling. However with all the positives I have been reading up on the B12 side and have decided to try methylcobalamin nuggets by solgar. I bought these last week from a health food shop in Cardiff. These tiny tabs dissolve into the mouth compared to the juice of source of life. I have found that these give a better result than the source of life. However source of life has many other vitamins. Why did I do this when source of life has a positive effect on me. Well from researching on the phoenix rising forums there are many forms of B12 and without going into the details, the form that is in source of life (cyanocobalamin) is converted to the active forms in the body which are: methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. The theory goes that if you take the cyanocobalamin then you may have other deficiencies that stops the body converting it to the active forms. So that could be why some people don't get any benefit from certain B12 supplements. In fact when I was in Cardiff I took the methylcobalamin tab (no cap of source of life that day), went to work in the office, felt energetic all day, didn't flag despite no lunch and then had a three hour train back to London and worked on the laptop on the way. When I got off at Paddington I was in fact considering going to the Gym at my local office. This was at 9:30 in the evening. Point is that the B12 seems to work for me and it might also have been the added impact of the source of life that I took the day before travelling to Cardiff. Also the Solgar ones are sublingual, so at the moment my thinking is that the version of B12 in source of life may not be as good as it could be because it is synthetic and has to be converted into the active forms and also the amount that is in a dose won't be absorbed by the body fully. Ie you get a tiny amount converted to the active forms via the stomach. All in all its a good way to have your vitamins and for me it works, so I would give it five stars. I will have it as one of my keeper supplements.

I have now been taking this for several weeks so feel I can give it an accurate review. It works: remember that when taking it because the taste is indescribable. It’s truly revolting. I struggled for a few days to not feel sick as it really is revolting, however, I felt so run down and have deficiencies in several vitamins and iron that I figured I’d try anything to give me a boost particularly now. If you just take the capful and have a drink in standby to wash away the aftertaste, you soon get used to it. Be prepared for neon side effects!! I definitely feel more energised and less groggy so hopefully it’s working inside too to build immune system. It’s expensive at once to be honest but I added up if I was only to purchase the equivalent iron, Vitamin b12, vitamin d and zinc which I would have bought individually, it would cost as much per month as this. Additionally, this has many more vitamins and minerals in it than those four so it’s actually cost effective. I take it with a vitamin d supplement as needed at this time and can justify the £1 a day cost on average for improved health. I’d highly reccomend if you are suffering from fatigue, want to boost your health or recovering from illness and need immune system support. Remind yourself it works every time because the taste is just something else I can’t understand how anyone says it is pleasant.

Very nutritious and tasty but very expensive

I am five months postpartum and started taking the supplements around three weeks ago. Previous to this I was feeling very tired, exhausted aches, pains skin was feeling dull just overall low energy since taking the supplements I can honestly say that I feel much better in myself, my backache has Reduced and overall aches and pains are not as obvious. My energy level is back up and my skin is feeling great since taking these. I am breastfeeding and I’ve noticed that my breastmilk is a little bit green LOL I don’t think this is an issue but it is noticeable in the milk. I don’t mind the taste of the supplements it’s pretty strong however in one quick gulp is no issue. the little bottle make it very easy to take the correct amount daily and easily accessible. I am one of those people who hate taking tablets and never really can keep up with it however this has been really easy to add to my routine in the morning along with my iron supplement. I do recommend this and will be continue taking it every day to infinity and beyond. I recommend for postpartum and breastfeeding

Truly offensive taste and texture. I tried to hide it in 500ml of smoothie and it ruined the whole smoothie.

A Nutrient Boost, but Some Drawbacks in Taste and Cost As a parent juggling work and family, finding the energy for it all can be a challenge. I tried the NaturesPlus Source of Life Gold Drink Mix Powder to see if it could give me a bit more of a boost without the hassle of taking multiple supplements every day. Pros: 1. Comprehensive Nutrient Profile – This drink mix has an impressive list of vitamins and minerals. I felt more energised after using it consistently, so it does seem to help with maintaining energy levels, which has been a big help on busy days. 2. Convenient Powder Form – I appreciated that it comes as a powder. Just a scoop in water or a smoothie, and I was good to go. No need to deal with swallowing pills or keeping track of multiple bottles. 3. Organic Ingredients – The product claims to use organic, whole-food-based ingredients, which is reassuring when thinking about long-term health. I like knowing it’s not packed with synthetic additives. Cons: 1. Taste and Texture – The flavour was… well, an acquired taste. Even mixed into a smoothie, it has a bit of a grassy, earthy taste that took some getting used to. I eventually adjusted, but if you’re picky about flavours, this could be a sticking point. 2. Pricey – It’s on the more expensive side, which might make it harder to commit to in the long term, especially if you’re trying to stay within a budget. 3. Over-Supplementation Risk – With so many nutrients packed in, I did wonder if I was getting too much of some things. I’d recommend checking with a doctor if you’re already taking other vitamins or have a nutrient-rich diet; you wouldn’t want to overdo it. Final Thoughts: NaturesPlus Source of Life Gold Drink Mix Powder does offer a convenient way to get a broad range of nutrients, and I did feel a positive effect in terms of energy. However, the taste and price could be off-putting, and it’s worth considering whether you need a product this comprehensive. It’s not a miracle fix but a decent option if you’re looking for a whole-food-based supplement to round out your diet.
