After all The Greens Drama...Here's The One I Actually Trust

This week, I’m highlighting IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials because it checks the boxes that actually matter.

Why IM8 Stands Out

1. NSF Certified for Sport
This is huge. NSF certification means the product is tested for banned substances and what’s on the label is what’s in the tub. For high school, college, and professional athletes, that matters. For parents? It should matter even more.

2. Third-Party Tested and Transparent
After recent controversy surrounding Athletic Greens (and other greens products), transparency is everything. IM8 prioritizes clean sourcing, accurate dosing, and independent verification.

3. Comprehensive Formula
This is not just a “greens powder.” IM8 combines:

• Vitamins and minerals

• Adaptogens

• Digestive enzymes

• Prebiotics and probiotics

• Antioxidants

It supports gut health, immune resilience, energy metabolism, and recovery. For athletes training hard, traveling, and sometimes underfueling, that foundational support is critical.

4. Convenient for Busy Athletes
Let’s be real. Not every athlete eats perfectly every day. A product like IM8 is not a replacement for whole foods, but it can be a strategic safety net when schedules are packed and nutrient gaps happen.

Is It Necessary?

No supplement replaces food. Period.

But in real life, I see:

• Underfueling

• Limited food variety

• Gut stress from travel

• Heavy training loads

When used appropriately, IM8 can support an athlete’s overall nutrient status and recovery without compromising safety.

Why I’m Comfortable Recommending It

As a sports dietitian working with competitive athletes, I will not recommend products that are not NSF Certified for Sport. That’s my line.

IM8 meets that standard. It is safe. It is vetted. And it’s formulated with performance and long-term health in mind.

In a supplement industry full of marketing, this one earns its place.

As always, food first. Strategy second. Supplements third.

But when you choose one, choose wisely.
