As self-proclaimed wellness gurus and fitness influencers peddle supplements on social media, it can be difficult to know which supplement is right for you, or even whether it’s working once you’ve taken the plunge. Your supplement promised better skin – but is that a new wrinkle you’ve spotted on your forehead? Your supplement promised boosted immunity – but you’re nursing a cold that just won’t pass. 

We know that choosing the right supplement can be tricky, but sticking to your new supplement routine can be even more difficult, especially when you’re not seeing or feeling obvious benefits. As the UK’s trusted longevity experts behind the award-winning Morning & Night supplement, we’re here to help you get to the bottom of whether or not your supplement is working for you – because the right supplement will always deliver powerful benefits, without question.

Did you know most supplements on the market aren’t clinically tested? While many brands rely on existing studies on individual ingredients, very few supplements commission independent, placebo-controlled, double-blind studies on their proprietary formula. This is intended to mislead customers, providing a false sense of security – when in reality, their formula has never seen the inside of a laboratory.

Morning & Night is the exception. Before our proprietary formula hit shelves, we commissioned a gold standard, independent, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial to establish our supplement’s efficacy. After 12 weeks of consistent use, the study found marked improvements in skin, sleep, energy, immunity, hormones, mood and more.

Philosopher Aristotle may have lived 2,345 years ago, but his words still ring true today: "Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet,” and his philosophy can (and should) be applied to the period between starting a new supplement and finally seeing and feeling results, usually 12 weeks later.

While some supplement benefits may be experienced after just a few weeks, long-term results take time – cellular renewal and the rebuilding of nutrient stores take up to 12 weeks, meaning you’ll need to wait before you realise a supplement’s full benefits. This is the reason that clinical trials follow a 12-week model – most of the gold-standard supplement studies (particularly in areas like mood, skin health, and cognitive support) are conducted over 8 to 12 weeks. 

Our Morning & Night supplement was tested over a period of 12 weeks – while some benefits were observed at 4 weeks and beyond, full benefits were recorded at the three month mark. The takeaway? Be patient. Your body will thank you for it.

Whether you prefer to write in an old school leatherbound notebook or the Apple Notes App, begin taking notes on each area your supplement is designed to address. For our Morning & Night supplement, we recommend recording improvements to skin, sleep, energy, immunity, mood, workout performance and overall wellbeing. Take notes weekly, rating each area from 1-10, noting the trend. (And if a benefit is partly due to placebo, that’s no bad thing – if you feel better, you feel better.)

If you haven’t made Morning & Night part of your routine, try it today – your notes may reveal improvements after just a few weeks.

As with medications or anything else you decide to put in your body, your supplement should have endorsements from registered medical professionals and doctors. We’ve worked with various industry-leading doctors, from perimenopause specialist Dr Shahzadi Harper to skin specialist Dr Raj Arora, many of whom use Morning & Night themselves.

The bottom line? If you don’t know whether your supplement is working for you, chances are it isn’t. Try Morning & Night for yourself, and you won’t question its benefits – you’ll see and feel them.
