Hion Purple Powder - SLIMBERRY METABLEND Award-Winning UK-Made Superfood Blend | 16 Nutrient-Rich Fruits incl. Green Coffee & ACV | Boost Energy & Curb Cravings | Vegan, Gluten-Free | 30 Servings

This contains mostly berry fruits and beetroot powder which gives the product a brownish/purple colour. Green powders are very ubiquitous and so the purple powder attracted my attention when I saw it in Holland and Barrett. Green powders are generally a good source of plant protein and a purple one, being full of berry fruits, is likely to be a good source of antioxidants and the beetroot powder provides blood pressure support. So I took a closer look at it on Amazon.If I had bought this in H & B I would only have bought either the green or the purple powder due to the price they were charging. However, upon seeing these on Amazon at £5 cheaper each, I decided to get both of them.The directions are: one heaped teaspoon added to a hot or cold drink or smoothie. My usual method is to add my powder to a bowl of natural yogurt and let it soak for about 10 – 15 minutes and then stir to get rid of any lumps. I add a little stevia and/or xylitol to sweeten the mixture. Then I add some chopped banana and some mixed seeds. This makes a light start to the day – I don’t believe in drinking my breakfast.I have compared this product with Lean Greens which costs £95.98/kg. This contains green powders, fruit powders, green tea and digestive enzymes but the major ingredient is maltodextrin – estimated to be about 80% of the content. Hion powders do not contain bulking agents. Lean Greens Health say the maltodextrin makes the product taste palatable and helps it to mix well. I try to avoid products containing maltodextrin because I am not sure whether it is a good ingredient for diabetics and I don’t usually make my green powders into a drink. Lean Greens describe their product as the ultimate vegetable hack. I don’t think so.Hion purple powder contains chlorogenic acid (from the green coffee) and polyphenols for weight management assistance and iodine for thyroid support. It also contains manganese, copper and B vitamins plus vitamins C and E. The vitamin B1 content is a bit low for diabetics as they lose thiamine rapidly. A benfotiamine supplement would be advisable. I would have liked to see some vitamin D3 but this is probably best taken with a supplement containing vitamin K2. At least they didn’t add vitamin D2 which I have seen in some of Holland and Barrett’s products.Overall I would say this is a very good product worthy of five stars. Trying to sources all the ingredients it contains by yourself would be a nightmare.

This powder is lovely just what I ordered the taste is ok

very good product easy to use but tastes vile!!!!!!

I started taking this a while ago and I lost weight even though I was eating a lot more than usual. I attributed the weight loss to my coil coming to an end of its five years (as I put on weight when i first had it). I then stopped taking the supplement and put on weight so can only attribute the weight loss to purple powder!I have started taking it again but this time as a hot drink and at first it made me really nauseous and a few times I had to run to the toilet as if I was going to be sick. I don't know if it was to do with me gulping down a hot drink (I don't really drink hot drinks). I am now more careful not to drink it so quickly and whilst it's hot. I only put one teaspoon in the tea and one in my porridge and the nausea is no more!It's got great ingredients and I feel as though it gives me energy and makes my skin glow. I am now on a limited budget so I have got rid of all of my supplements but this one which will stay as it has the greatest impact on my health.I'm so glad I found it on here as I was paying £25 at Holland and Barrett. I have emailed the company twice now asking questions and both times they have replied virtually instantly even when i emailed 8 at night. The responses were always so helpful and friendly I've never had such great customer service before.Overall, a very happy customer 😃

I purchased the purple powder after using the green powder by the same company and being a bit weighty and used to picking at rubbish food, I decided to give it a go. I started using it a week and a half ago and tried replacing the green powder with this to see what benefits I could feel. I struggled a tiny bit with the taste in the beginning but if you have it with juice and remember it's good for you, it's easy to drink down (remember to drink all the bits that are left in the bottom). It gives you a nice mellow energy and I have definitely had no desire to pick at food throughout the day when I have this. Due to missing the green powder too much I have changed my powder routine to a spoon of green in the morning and then I put a spoon of purple powder in my overnight oats which I take to work with me and have for my lunch. It tastes really good mixed in with the oats and fruit. I can't say if it helps with losing weight as I'm not on a strict diet and haven't been weighing myself. I just know that it makes me feel good and stops me craving sweet things. Very good product. Thanks

Im sure this stuff is healthy but I hate the taste of it and find it really hard to drink, Im sure if you mixed this up with other stuff it would probably be ok but i was hoping to be able to just mix it with water and drink. It's something I would get fed up of drinking everyday because of the taste.

Brilliant, there is an earthy flavour to it that I don't mind at all. It's all natural without the junk and artifical sweeteners. It's also helping me to slim down and I'm 56

Ok, be aware this does not taste great, but then many things that are good for you don't, so mix it with something like natural fruit juice and it's lush. I've tried many natural things as I have Bipolar 2 (a lot don't work or full of rubbish) and don't agree with ramming chemicals into my body. I need to say that this has helped level some of my mood swings massively, it's not cured my illness it never will but it's helped me so thank you guys! Other bonuses are; my skins better, nails shine, hairs better, I'm more alert and I've even received you're looking well comments! So is it worth it? Yes 100%! I also have to say the service is great too! All I ask is please keep this product at this great price, as there are too many greedy companies out there and your company will go from strength to strength!Thank you!!
