There have been many times throughout my life when I’ve tried to start taking vitamins, but it rarely sticks. I am turning 30 though and with that, the body doesn’t have as much bounce-back as it did even a few months ago. On top of that, being an adult brings all sorts of wonderful stressors and changes in skin and hair.

I’m sure you’ve heard about the importance of supplementing your vitamin intake but whilst that is important off the bat, it is important to measure your lifestyle and the way you eat to see exactly what your body needs more of.

Persona is a vitamin subscription that provides a 28-day supply of vitamins and supplements that are recommended for your unique needs. Members get access to expert nutritionists and an app with tools to help support their new regimen. Persona currently offers 80 different vitamins and supplements (including vegan options).

I like Persona because their nutritionists help me assess my supplement needs, instead of me blindly guessing what I should take on my own. Their custom packs help me feel confident that I’m getting the right doses, of the right supplements, at the right time. Plus, I can just toss the packs in my bag instead of fishing around for bottles or taking the time to make my own packs. The cost of the subscription varies depending on what is in your packs but you can get 50% off your first month! No coupon needed - just use this link.

Let me just quickly run through the pros and cons that I have realized so far from this service so you can know.

PROS

1. There is an easy online assessment that you can use to personalize your new regimen. It’s easy but exhaustive in a good way. It goes through your health and wellness, family health, and wellness history then asks you what is important to you (what you would like to see improved). After you’ve finished the questionnaire, they respond with their suggestions and allow you to add and take away whatever you want which I find to be really helpful.

2. Pre-packaged, nicely designed sachets to grab-and-go.

3. Designed with the help of licensed and experienced nutritionists and wellness experts.

4. Access to an easy-to-use app that allows you to speak with nutritionists who can analyze current medications in their database of over 2,000 prescription medications and check for drug-nutrient interactions. and customize upcoming orders.

5. An included brochure, explaining the benefits of each supplement included, and other suggestions in addition to precautions.

6. The option to add and remove vitamins as you go month to month.

CONS

1. More costly than the usual, readily available drugstore brand vitamins.

IS IT WORTH IT?

It is a simple fool-proof pack of vitamins to take. If you don’t mind paying a little more to feel confident in your vitamin regimen and like the ease of portioned packs, then it is by all means worth it.

Persona took the guesswork out of which supplements I should take to address my body’s changing needs. I love that they give me easy access to real nutritionists, who can answer my specific questions. In addition to that, having everything I need, conveniently prepackaged saves time and prevents me from spacing on how many of each supplement I need to take.

I have been taking the vitamins for three weeks now and I have seen vast improvements, especially as it relates to the quality of my sleep and sleeping patterns (which I love), so YES! It’s worth it and I would definitely recommend it.
