Disclaimer: This Sundose box was given to me in return for an honest review. Read more about it here.
Y’all know me; one minute I’m super hyper and excited but next I’m in a massive slump and just want to fall asleep for the rest of the day (*cough* like at gyaru meets *cough*). So I was really excited to receive a Sundose box – a bespoke box of supplements – to help boost my low energy levels. After a few medical questions (like how often I exercise and whether or not I’ve had any blood tests recently), they reached out to me via email to see what flavour supplement I’d like. I opted for the Vitamin C/Orange flavour. The box arrived on my doorstep a week later!



But what exactly is Sundose?
Sundose create tailor-made supplements especially for you that you should take daily to feel the full effect. Each packet contains one side that is a powder to mix into water, and the other side has a few tablets (one of which, I think, is Cod Liver Oil or a vegan alternative to Cod Liver Oil). They began operating their specialist dietary clinic back in 2018 and their goal is to “improve the health and well-being of our clients, thanks to a simple solution based 100% on scientific research.” They do vegan-friendly options as well which was the option that I went for.
My experience/review
So I want to be completely honest; I gave up taking Sundose for a few days after about 10 days because I didn’t see any effects other than the fact I was no longer dozing off on a Sunday afternoon. I did email Sundose about my concerns and apparently that’s just the way with supplements – sometimes they can take up to two weeks to work, other times they take over a month. So I gave them another go and it wasn’t until a week after that that I started to feel the effects. I was a bit more energetic, and could stay awake for a little longer. On one of the days I drank it before I went to bed – thinking that it wasn’t going to work – and ended up struggling to go to sleep.



So are the supplements worth investing in?
This is where I get a little bit stuck. On the one hand, I felt a little bit more awake than I usually do, but on the other the box is £69 (which, for me, is a little bit out of my price range) because of how bespoke it is. I also feel like you can’t entirely rely on supplements because other lifestyle factors such as eating well and going to bed at a reasonable time helps contribute to higher energy levels.
Albeit that these supplements were not necessarily for me, they may have a positive effect on other people!
If you were thinking of buying it…
Sundose has kindly given me a discount code that you can use “lizziebee” to save £20 off your first order.



Do you take daily supplements? What do you take?

March 12, 2020I was very much considering supplements, but as the sun is starting to come back to the UK I’m thinking O might wait until next fall… Even then, wouldn’t a multi be very similar to the effects of sundose?

March 12, 2020There is a possibility! Although I think what makes Sundose special is that it is bespoke and catered to your lifestyle/needs 🙂
