My Little Viridian Challenge | First Impressions and Two Week Update

Hello!   Recently, I blogged about how I was setting myself a little challenge with the help of Viridian Nutrition .  I was hoping with the aid of their supplements, I’d be back on my feet and feeling good again after a long spell of being run down.  I’ve been taking the supplements as directed for the past two weeks and thought it would be a good time to let you know how I was getting on.

I was kindly sent the Ultimate 100% Organic Beauty Oil, Ultimate Beauty Beauty Complex and the L-Theanine & Lemon Balm to try out.  I have been taking all of these supplements together.  I take two teaspoons of the Beauty Oil, two capsules of the Beauty Complex and one capsule of the L-Theanine and Lemon balm daily with food.

First Impressions:

Beauty Oil : I know it says it’s an oil, but I was not prepared for the taste and sensation!  I wouldn’t say it’s delicious to the point it has me licking the spoon (like cough medicine, mmm!), but it doesn’t taste awful.  I got used to the slightly herbal taste after a week or so.  I can imagine it would taste nice as a dressing on food, as it would add a savoury kick, but sadly I don’t think drizzling this over crisps or cereal is what Viridian had in mind…

Beauty Complex and L-Theanine & Lemon Balm : These are both large capsules that I have difficulty taking, and if you struggle to take tablets like paracetamol you might struggle as well.  They have more of a smell than a taste, and they do not taste plastic or artificial like other supplements.

What I’m Thinking So Far:

Even though I’ve only been taking these supplements for two weeks, I have noticed some results!

Skin:  Since taking these supplements, my skin looks and feels plump and bouncy.  I’ve also noticed my face has a bit of a  glow” to it compared to the dull, grey skin I was battling with.  I haven’t had as many breakouts as I would have done usually with my time of month and any that I have had have healed quickly without complaint.

Hair : My hair is beginning to feel thicker and it also looks a lot healthier.  My hair is still falling out, even though the amount is steadily reducing.  There are times where it feels like it’s snapping off, especially at the ends.  I am not sure if this is down to the haircare I am using or just the general hair cycle of growth.

Mind : I know it’s a weird one to talk about, as things like this are down to the individual and may not work for everyone, but I have been feeling a lot better mentally than what I was before I started taking these supplements.  I used to feel tired a lot and I seemed to have permanent brain fog and headaches.   These have improved considerably.  I am also sleeping a lot better and I haven’t been as tearful or anxious as I normally would have been around this time.

As I’ve already noticed some results after just two weeks, I’ve ordered another bottle of the 100% Organic Beauty Oil and another bottle of the Beauty Complex capsules so that I can carry on with my challenge.  It’s not often you see results from supplements from two weeks, so I will be interested if the changes continue and the results are maintained.  I’ll be back in a few weeks time with another update but for now I will say that I am really impressed with Viridian.
