Verve V80 Vs IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials: Key Differences

Benefits of IM8 Daily Essentials Vs Verve V80
High DV of Some Nutrients
The amount of several vitamins within IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials is above and beyond the DV. The below, for example…
Vitamin C – 900 mg (1,000% DV)
Vitamin B12 – 24 mcg (1,000% DV)
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2) – 4.2 mg (323% DV)

Benefits of Verve V80 Vs IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials
Primed For Better Absorption
Verve’s V80 contains black pepper which helps increase the absorption of other ingredients, so your body and mind can reap all the benefits of V80’s extensive list of nutrients.
No Hiding Behind Proprietary Bends
Verve are committed to remaining 100% transparent, sharing exactly what goes into every formula and the exact amount of every single ingredient.
Because everyone should know exactly what’s going into their body.
Although IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials packs in a huge array of ingredients, the amount of each ingredient isn’t available. So how do you know just how good the formula is? And how can you know there’s enough of certain ingredients to have an impact on your health? IM8 claim that every ingredient and dosage in their IM8 is third-party tested, which guarantees that what you see on the label is what you get, but still, you can’t be certain of the amounts.
Backed By Science
Verve love a meaty bit of research, so when IM8 shared the results of a 12-week clinical trial, it was impressive to read that 90% of people using IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials felt more energised while 67% felt less bloated.
But the study, linked here, which was mentioned on the IM8 website and published in the National Library of Medicine, doesn’t yet seem to show any results online, claiming that 'study results have not been submitted'.
Oh, and the study was sponsored by health research firm Prenetics, which also happens to be IM8's other co-founder. Biased perhaps…?
Whilst Verve V80 isn’t backed by a specific study, the ingredients within the V80 formula are backed by science. This is all clearly stated on the V80 Nutrition Fact Sheet.
V80 is Cheaper
Based on a monthly subscription, Verve V80 is around 24% cheaper than a monthly subscription of IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials, making Verve V80 a more affordable option.
Verve V80 vs IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials: Summary
Being honest, both of these nutritional drinks provide a wealth of benefits for the body and mind. Both taste good and both pack in a huge amount of vitamins, minerals and superfoods.
But, V80 trumps IM8 on price as well as ingredient transparency. If you are keen to know exactly what’s in your nutritional drink, then Verve V80 is the one to go for.
