Kate Hudson founded InBloom during the pandemic to make wellness more accessible—and now her powder supplements are in Whole Foods stores nationwide. Essential Elements, described as a “daily multivitamin,” is the hero product of the line that “helps to support overall health, including brain, cardiovascular, immune and digestive function for enhanced daily wellness,” according to the brand.
The vegan blend is sourced from 17 leafy greens and veggies (like alfalfa, barley, broccoli, kale, pumpkin, spinach, sweet potato, and wheatgrass) and provides 100% of your recommended daily dose of 21 vitamins and minerals. It also contains a sea greens blend of kelp, spirulina, chlorella like many other greens powders on this list, plus the adaptogenic herb ashwagandha, which some studies show can reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and sleep, Talbert says.
Dosage: Mix 2 scoops with 8 to 10 ounces of any cold liquid. InBloom suggests shaking it into fresh celery juice for additional hydration, or adding to a smoothie.
Taste: The flavor is described as “earthy, fruity greens” and that’s pretty spot on. The raspberry and stevia were a bit sweet for my taste, so I preferred to add to a smoothie. I also felt nauseous after drinking it on an empty stomach; this could be due to the minerals zinc and copper, Segura says, and could be prevented by taking it with a small snack or meal. (The added iron could also be a contributor to nausea, Talbert says, and shouldn’t be taken with your morning coffee since caffeine can impact iron absorption .)
- Pros: Supplies 100% of your daily vitamins
- Cons: Only comes in one small sized bag, potential for nausea due to added minerals
