About 1 month into quarantine, I decided I needed to ramp up how I was taking care of myself. I had really stepped up my skincare routine, decluttered a good portion of my home, and had a developed a pretty good daily routine — I was really making big strides when it came to self care and it felt good! But, something I’ve always wanted to improve was in the area of supplements. I had always just guessed when it came to deciding what supplements to take and based my decisions off what essentially just sounded like good ideas. I mean, who doesn’t need a good probiotic right?
My Honest Supplement Review
Why HUM Nutrition?
Moody Bird, Skinny Bird, Daily Cleanse, Big Chill
I first stumbled across HUM Nutrition when I decided to pick up a bottle of their hair gummies as part of the Sephora sale (my post here!). After trying the hair gummies for a month and actually seeing results, I knew I needed to look into HUM Nutrition more! For starters, HUM supplements are formulated with clinically proven ingredients that are clean, natural, and triple-tested for potency and purity. Plus, to really make sure that you’re taking the right supplements your body needs, HUM provides a personalized regimen as well as free nutrition advice from certified RDs (yes, with HUM you receive actual help from a real person invested in your wellness journey!). Supplements can play a big role in helping fill in gaps when it comes to micronutrient needs, and I was instantly sold on the fact that HUM Nutrition provided this completely personalized experience.
I took the short lifestyle quiz on the HUM website and was amazed at all the factors coming into play when determining the right vitamin regimen: gender, age, sun exposure, fitness level, stress level, sleep habits, and even geographic location! Of course, HUM Nutrition also takes into consideration personal goals — clear skin, weight loss, stronger hair, more energy, and sounder sleep to name a few. It’s about painting the whole picture when it comes to figuring out the proper supplements to incorporate, and I was amazed at the thorough consideration HUM put into the learning about my individual wellness needs.
A Personalized Supplement Routine with HUM Nutrition
Moody Bird, Skinny Bird, Daily Cleanse, Big Chill
Following the short lifestyle assessment (literally takes only 3 minutes as it’s 13 questions!), HUM provides a nutrition report with a recommended list of supplements. The report breaks down every single vitamin as well as how to incorporate it into your everyday schedule (there’s even a button to add a reminder to your calendar!). If you’re curious, here is my current routine, as recommended by HUM:
While my routine may seem complicated, note that this has been a work in progress for over the last 5 months. When I first started, HUM certified RDs kept it simple and only recommended 3 supplements — Daily Cleanse, Big Chill and Hair Sweet Hair, that I took once a day. It’s only because I’ve personally wanted to add in more to my supplement regimen that you now see it expanded to include 6 different supplements. Some I also take only as needed (such as the Beauty zzZz and Skinny Bird) so it’s not as daunting as it seems!
The HUM difference is truly in the personalization — not only are you provided with a personalized recommendation based on your quiz results, but HUM also pairs you up with an actual certified RD to answer any questions! Whether it’s product combinations, ingredients, dietary concerns, or just a question on your supplement routine, this service is completely free of charge and so incredibly beneficial! From my perspective, the initial quiz result recommendations provide a baseline which you can then tweak and fine-tune as you go, with the help of HUM’s highly trained team of nutrition experts!
HUM Nutrition: My Go-To Supplements
You can see that I’ve been taking HUM supplements dating back to April (I was gifted a shipment for September as part of this review so you’ll notice that month is missing in the Order History). Looking back over the past few months, I can honestly say that I feel so much better in my body and have even noticed improvements in my overall mood. For a mini review of the supplements I’ve tried:
Daily Cleanse: Cleanses your skin / body — a HUM bestseller!! Contains chlorella that binds to heavy metals that can damage skin. This is definitively one of my favorites and truly does “detox.” I notice less bloating and have also stopped having my monthly hormonal breakouts!
Big Chill: Helps mind and body cope with stress thanks to rhodiola roses. This is another supplement that I started off with from the very beginning and I definitely needed the boost of adaptogens to help balance my adrenals. I am better able to mentally focus and have less feelings of being overwhelmed whenever I start my day with this!
Skinny Bird: Curbs appetite and balances blood sugar. Anybody else have a few extra Covid pounds? I’m trying to lose about 8 lbs and have found this supplement so helpful! Packed with a combination of Caralluma Fimbriata to curb appetite, 5-HTP to reduce stress eating, Green Tea Extract to boost metabolism, and Chromium to support blood sugar levels, I notice that I’m able to stick better to my meal portions whenever I take Skinny Bird about 30 minutes before a meal.
Moody Bird: helps PMS symptoms. I started taking this supplement about a month ago, when I noticed I was a lot more emotional and irritable around that time of the month. Since taking this, the first thing I noticed was that I didn’t have any cramping at all. My moods were much more stable and I even found my flow was lighter!
Wing Man: helps with dark undereye circles and flushes toxins from liver. I had HORRIBLE dark undereye circles; and instantly added this to my cart when I saw that it helped in that area. I was a bit skeptical as far as whether this would work but I’ve already seen a slight difference in just the 2 weeks I’ve been using it so far — less concealer for me!
Hair Sweet Hair: vegan gummy for stronger healthier hair. This is the vitamin that started it all for me! Hair Sweet Hair has an incredible combination of ingredients; including Folic Acid, Biotin, and Fo-Ti to support the health of hair follicles and help hair growth. I noticed a difference in about a month and take this along with my collagen to strengthen my hair after nearly 2 years of hair extensions and lots of coloring jobs!

I love that I now have a supplement routine that is customized for my needs! HUM Nutrition has an incredible lineup of vitamins that target different concerns — immunity, skin, hair, body, and mood — and I loved their personalized recommendations that take into consideration my diet, lifestyle, and goals. Having an actual certified RD available for questions made me feel more confident; and supported in my understanding my vitamin needs. I went in feeling like I didn’t really have any idea what supplements my body needed. But 5 months later, my body is feeling strong and healthy thanks to m personalized supplement routine!

Obviously you can see that I have been a subscriber to HUM Nutrition on my own for over 5 months and love the fact that they have a membership program that automatically ships out my vitamins every month as well as bundles in a 15% savings for 3+ products. I get a reminder before my next shipment is sent out; so I have plenty of time to make changes or cancel if necessary. Included in the monthly packages is also a sample for another vitamin and I’ve particularly enjoyed trying out a few new supplements (the Flatter Me is a new one that I really enjoyed this last time around!).

I love the idea of personalized supplementation. Every body is different, so haveing supplements that meet our unique needs is the way to go, I think.
This sounds like an awesome way to approach supplementation. It definitely sounds like it works.
That is exactly what I was thinking, Bill! I might have to try it out.
I need to go take their survey! I’ve just been taking a multivitamin, and it is not working for me at all. This seems like the best approach.
I must say that being able to customize your package according to your needs and goals really makes these supplements a better choice than others. I don’t know, it intrigues me …
That is awesome that they can customize to your needs. Too often things like this are one type for all. I might have to check this company out. I usually just take a multi-vitamin and a vitamin c each day. haha
I’ve been wondering your thoughts on HUM since I saw you mentioned them a few weeks ago on IG, and I just wanted to know your thoughts. Committing to it for 5 months shows it is working so well for you!!
Yes I’ve lived the difference these supplements have made!!
I’ve heard so many good things about HUM! I need to take the assessment and order some to incorporate into my routine!

Big chill and hair gummies sounds perfect for me. And I love the packaging as well.
Have heard so many great things about this line…I need to try them already! xoxo, Sarah
I like how individualized they are. I think I could use the Big Chill one and the Hair Hair.
This looks like a really great line of products! I’m glad that I was able to learn more about it and see how it could be useful to get for myself.
I’ve really been wanting to start a supplement regimen because of my chronic illness. I’m super vitamin deficient, but I’ve head trouble digesting vitamins in the past, and I kind of gave up on trying new ones. I should at least test these out and see how they work for me. They sound great!
I’ve always wondered about their products! Thank you for the great info and the honest review!
I love HUM!!! And you have reminded me that I need to re-stock!

Oh wow! I love the idea that it’s so customized. Seems like a fab pick!
Ooooh! This is a very cohesive review of the entire collection! I’m a fan of the ones for hair, but should give some of the others a try- especially the ones for dark circles. Thanks for the insight.
Never heard of this brand to be honest! I would love to try it and I will! Thank you so so much….
That is a lot of vitaminsso I’m really glad that it’s working.

These products seem really helpful and interesting! I also love how it’s personalized, thanks for sharing this review with us!
I agree with the fact that all individual need their unique supplements and the product definitely meets that requirement
I’m deeply in need of some new supplements. I just haven’t found anything that seems to work. So I guess Hum could be a good try, and the price doesn’t seem too bad.
I would get these just because of the bottles! Already on several supplements (as I’m vegan) but they don’t match 🙂
O wow, that’s really a lot of supplements. Thank you for sharing them and for your honest review. I will definitely check them out.
thanks so much for sharing your honest review of these!

These sound like amazing supplements! The personalized recommendations would be very helpful!
I’ve never heard of HUN but it’s something for me to consider because i’ve been needing some extra supplements especially since I’ve increased my workouts!
I liked the packaging so much,simple and looks so effective.

I’ve looked into Moody Bird before but never ended up trying it. I think I’ll have to check these out again!
I love this honest review! I need to get the skinny bird and moody bird to help with my PMS and to keep my hormones balanced!
First the branding is amazing. I love the vibrancy of the packaging.
These are great. They have a great line of vitamins and supplements.
I used this company for a few months, their product is fine, however, it is no better than their competitors who can provide excellent customer service. They are extremely predatory in canceling automatic payments. I requested to cancel payments on October 6, received a response asking why I wanted to cancel to which I responded I am not using the product as quickly as it is coming to me and assumed this was the end of it. That is TWO emails in which I confirmed, with the email address that is on file to cancel my account. November 6th came around and they sent me an email confirming another shipment, I called their customer service hotline and spoke to a Semaj Parker who essentially informed me that since I did not send a THIRD email confirming my email address (that I was emailing from, mind you) that I will not be getting a refund. They did say that they could send a shipping label to return the product, however, I have since then moved 4 hours away. Their escalation rep, Tamika, was no better. It appears their philosophy is “sucks to be you” when it comes to customer service.
In terms of customer service, they are predatory and very bad at providing a satisfactory result for their customer. The route I had to take was disputing the charges on my credit card because talking to their customer service line is like speaking with a brick. Where they would have had a life long customer once I used the product I already had, they’ve now lost me as well as anyone’s ear I have.
