Nobody mentions this: it’s not just what you take; it’s what your body can actually absorb and use. 💚
For years, I was looking for a really good foundational vitamin/greens product. And when I say looking… my mom and I went through a lot of them. Powders, vitamins, greens, different combinations you name it. Some looked amazing on paper, but were absolutely disgusting to take. I even tried AG1 because I kept seeing it everywhere and, as a herbalist who has willingly tasted wormwood, that’s saying something when I tell you I could not stand it. 😂
At the time, I was a busy mom with life moving in 47 directions at once. I was dealing with afternoon energy crashes, headaches, inconsistent digestion, trouble focusing and that constant restless leg-bouncing feeling.
Then VMG+ came across my radar.
I was skeptical. I wasn’t even completely sold on doTERRA at the time. I simply ordered one box because I wanted to see what happened.
The first surprise? It actually tasted good.
Then I started noticing little things like the white spots on my nails disappeared.
By the end of the second week, my digestion felt more regular.
By week four, my afternoon energy started coming back and my focus felt clearer. By weeks five and six, that constant leg-bouncing/restless feeling had settled down and I just felt… more balanced.
And that is why this research caught my attention. The study compared VMG+ with standard supplementation and looked at things like nutrient absorption, how long nutrients remained elevated in the blood, antioxidant markers and inflammatory markers.
According to the study summary:
✨ Vitamin C levels increased substantially more after VMG+
✨ Vitamin E and iron absorption were also higher
✨ Calcium and potassium showed improved absorption
✨ Nutrient levels remained elevated for longer
✨ After six weeks, researchers also reported changes in vitamin D, folate, B12, antioxidant markers and hs-CRP
What interests me most is the absorption piece.
Because we can spend hundreds of dollars taking beautiful supplement…but if our body isn’t actually absorbing and using those nutrients effectively, what are we really accomplishing?
VMG+ uses a combination of liposomal technology and essential oils designed to help with nutrient delivery and absorption.
And suddenly my own experience with it makes a little more sense to me.
This is also why I keep coming back to foundational wellness.
Before adding supplement after supplement after supplement, I want to know: Are we actually giving the body a good foundation and can it use what we’re giving it?
I’m sharing the study for anyone else who likes going down the research rabbit hole as much as I do.
What’s one supplement you’ve taken and genuinely wondered, “Is this actually doing anything?
