🌿 Supplement Showdown: NOW vs Nutrition Geeks – Which Brand Supports Hormones and Battles Inflammation Best?

Nutritional Supplements

If you’ve ever stood in the supplement aisle (or scrolled online endlessly) wondering which brand to trust, you’re not alone. As a natural health practitioner, I get this question all the time:

“Marcia, what brand should I actually be buying?”

So, let’s get down to business. I recently compared two well-known supplement brands: NOW Supplements and Nutrition Geeks. Here’s what I found – and more importantly, what this means for you if you’re managing hormonal chaos or chronic inflammation (hello, bloated belly club).

🧪 Purity & Testing: Who’s Playing Clean?

✅ NOW Supplements : NOW is like that overachieving student in school who not only does their homework, but colour-codes it and hands it in early. They run over 31,000 quality tests per month in ISO-accredited labs. These supplements are rigorously tested for purity, potency, and safety — which is crucial if you're supporting hormone health or battling inflammation.

🤷‍♀️ Nutrition Geeks : They do follow GMP standards and conduct in-house testing, which is a great start. But transparency? Not quite as obvious. You’ll find solid basics here, but if you're looking for full lab reports and clinical assurance… the details are a bit scarce.

🧠 Takeaway: If you want to know exactly what’s going into your body (especially if your hormones are already staging a protest), NOW wins for purity and transparency.

💃 Hormonal Health Heroes

🌸 NOW Supplements : Their range includes hormone-supportive staples like Vitex, Evening Primrose Oil, and DIM — all backed by research and loved by those in the trenches of PMS, perimenopause, or oestrogen dominance. These aren’t just trendy buzzwords — they’re clinical allies in your hormone-balancing toolkit.

👩‍⚕️ Nutrition Geeks : Their catalogue offers solid basics like Vitamin D3, magnesium, and Omega-3 — helpful for general endocrine support. But if you’re looking for targeted support for oestrogen metabolism or PMS symptoms, the range is limited.

🔥 Takeaway: For tailored hormonal support, NOW has the better product line-up.

🔥 Inflammation Support: Who Packs the Punch?

🌿 NOW Supplements : NOW has some real anti-inflammatory MVPs — Turmeric Curcumin, Quercetin, and high-quality Omega-3s. These are ideal if you're dealing with joint pain, gut issues, skin flare-ups, or other signs that your body is on fire (and not in the good Beyoncé way).

🍃 Nutrition Geeks : They cover the basics like fish oil and magnesium, and while they’re decent quality, they’re not as robust in this department.

💥 Takeaway: If you’re managing inflammation that’s tied to hormones or chronic health issues, NOW is the stronger contender.

🤔 So, Which One Should You Choose?

It really depends on your needs. But if you’re someone who…

• Is managing PMS, perimenopause, or oestrogen dominance

• Wants research-backed, transparently tested supplements

• Needs strong anti-inflammatory support

…then NOW Supplements is your go-to.

But if you’re just starting out, on a tighter budget, or need simple foundational support, Nutrition Geeks still holds value.
