Have you heard of or wondered about Balance of Nature supplements? Or looked for Balance of Nature reviews but couldn't find much? Well, this post is for you. Gear up for everything you ever wanted to know about the Balance of Nature whole health system!
Note: I was given product to try out, with no promise that I would choose to write a post. Well, I decided to write this, and all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. This post includes affiliate links, so if you do decide to purchase using our discount code we receive a small percentage.
A few months ago we invited some friends over for dinner and the topic came around to health. At this point, our friend shared that he was taking Balance of Nature supplements and he thought that we might like them, too. Honestly, I was a little skeptical at first, because I don’t believe in quick and easy health solutions. It turns out, that isn’t really what Balance of Nature is at all.
We believe in eating healthy recipes like our super easy protein balls, the best EVER broccoli seasoning, healthy buffalo chicken bowls, or our spinach berry smoothie. Also in exercising regularly, and working hard to teach our picky eaters how to eat better.
Balance of Nature Review
After doing a little bit more research, I decided to try these products for myself, and I’m really glad I did. Below I will talk a bit about what Balance of Nature is, the pros and cons to the system, and why ultimately I choose to buy them.
Plus, we have a discount code for you guys if you decide to try out a whole health system for yourself.
Balance of Nature does not claim to cure or treat any disease, rather they are making it easier to get the vital nutrients fruits and vegetables provide us into our bodies so that our bodies can repair themselves.
The fruit and veggie capsules are made by a unique system of flash drying fruits and vegetables. Dr. Howard extensively researched “which fruits and vegetables, when combined, were most effective in 1) Strenthening your Immune System, 2) Cell Protection, and 3) DNA Repair and Apoptosis. Finally in 1997, tireless hours of research culminated in a unique formulation or 31 fruits and vegetables.” These vegetables are the same ones used in Balance of Natures capsules today.

Balance of Nature Pros and Cons
Now that you have a little background info, let’s get into the pros and cons.
Pros:
- These products have no fillers, no extracts, no hormones, no preservatives, no isolates, no added sugar, no pesticides, no additives of any kind. They are 100% real nutrients from real fruits and veggies, period.
- The fiber and spice drink helps to maintain bowel health, ease constipation (without causing diarrhea), decreases inflammation, helps balance blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and can even lead to weight loss. For me, bowel health and a massive reduction in inflammation and bloating were the first things I noticed after I started the Balance of Nature supplements. My soreness after exercising also went way down.
- When you become a Preferred Customer (which is the cheapest way to buy products, and you can cancel anytime), the company assigns you a personal Health Coach who helps you create a plan to improve your health in three categories: physical, spiritual, and chemical. Once I knew I was going to write this post, I decided to go ahead with the health coaching. I wasn’t particularly looking forward to it, but I wanted to be able to speak to the full experience the company offers. It was actually a really positive experience. My coach asked about my health history and made a few recommendations on how I can get the most out of my products. Then, we set a goal in each category and set a follow up appointment. I hung up feeling motivated to improve my health, and follow through with my goals since I would have to report back at the next phone call. If health coaching is not something you are interested in, no one will pressure you, and you can always decide to make an appointment later on like I did.
- The products are completely safe for children or adults. I like to break open the capsules and add them to my kids food (especially for the ones too little to swallow these larger pills) – more on that below.
- Balance of Nature products are safe to cook with. You can add both the fiber or the veggie capsules into juices, smoothies, baked goods, etc.
- You cannot overdose, or misuse these products as they are 100% real produce.
- I have more energy, clearer skin, and a better ability to focus on the task at hand. I have NEVER been a morning person in my life, but now I am consistently getting up at 6:30 every day.
- They boost immune system. I have definitely noticed this as well, I haven’t been sick once since I started taking the Balance of Nature vitamins. I am really interested to see how this coming winter will go!
Cons:
- The first con is expense. Obviously, the whole health system is not a small monthly expense. After feeling as good as I do while taking them, and knowing all the other good things going on internally that I can’t even measure, we have decided the money is worth it to us right now. There is also a 30 day money back guarantee if you want to try it and see how you feel.
- The fiber drink is gross. My kids still tease me about my face the first time I drank it, haha! I could hardly get it down. That being said, I hardly notice it at all now, and I drink it down no problem! My health coach said that lots of people like it better mixed with almond milk or apple juice, but I don’t prefer to drink my calories so I just stick with water. I love the results of the fiber drink now though, and don’t know if I could ever give it up. So, it is worth it, but don’t expect it to taste good.
- I wish the nutrition info said exactly what daily percentages of each nutrient was in each serving, but they don’t.
Balance of Nature
Real quickly, let’s talk a little bit about each component of the whole health system. I have a few tips I’ve learned that I would like to share.
Because I am in generally good health, my coach instructed me to take the regular dose. The normal dose is three veggie capsules and three fruit capsules each day along with the fiber drink.
You can easily increase this as needed. For example, I have asthma, so if that is acting up I would double my dose until the worst has passed.
Veggie Capsules
I prefer to simply swallow my veggie capsules with water. If you have trouble swallowing pills, they can also be added into any savory food, like an omelet, or our perfectly seasoned ground beef.
Also, my health coach told me that if I feel myself beginning to get sick or feeling sluggish, to make a broth of my veggie capsules by mixing them into hot water. I actually enjoyed them this way as well. It kind of tastes like a spicy spinach soup, but it was very soothing on my throat. Also, I do feel like I felt the positive side effects sooner this way.
Simply twist the capsules apart and tap them into your hot water.
Fruit Capsules
While I typically just swallow my fruit capsules as well (because, laziness), they taste a lot better. You can chew them up, or if you don't want to swallow the capsule you can empty them straight into your mouth. When taken this way, they kind of taste like fruit leather in powder form.
I also love emptying a few fruits into smoothies or applesauce for my kids. Here is one of our favorite smoothie bowl recipes if you need one!
Fiber and Spice
I mentioned earlier I didn't love the taste of the fiber and spice. However, I noticed it's positive results in my body quickly. I don't know if this is oversharing, but if you have loose stools this binds them. If you are constipated, it will fix that too. Basically, it just helps regulate you in either direction.
I also noticed pretty immediate positive effects when it comes to less bloating and less inflammation in my body. Guys, this stuff works wonders.
My friend Anna posted about another way she likes to take her fiber, in smoothie form! Check out her recipe here.
I drink mine in water once a day.
Balance of Nature Discount Code
If you do decide to give Balance of Nature a try, I would recommend purchasing the whole health system as a preferred customer. To become a preferred customer there is a one time fee of $24.95. However, it immediately makes the product $40 cheaper. You also get the added benefit of health coaching.
Under the preferred customer status your product is automatically shipped to you every 28 days. There are no contracts or minimums and you can pause, cancel or reschedule your shipments at any time without penalty.
Other options are, you can buy just fruits and veggies, or you can also buy just fiber and spice! So if you are only wanting to try out one or the other you can totally do that. Either way, it is cheapest to become a preferred member.
Use code PRETTYPROVIDENCE for 35% off your first order as a preferred customer! This will cover your preferred member status (plus some) so you can try it out for free! Click here to buy.
Remember, this code only works for preferred customer orders. This means the $24.99 (to become a preferred member) will be added to your total, but the discount will take the total price down to lower than one time retail pricing, and you can still cancel at any time.
Definitely the cheapest way to try these products out that I've ever seen.

- When do I take the supplements? To get the maximum energy boost take your fruits and veggies in the morning so you can feel the positive effects all day. To get the most out of your fiber and spice, take 1-2 scoops a half an hour before each meal.
Aimee
Thanks for the good review! I'm always looking for ways to improve my health and I decided to try this out because of you. I've noticed a difference in my energy and like knowing that I'm getting more fruits and vegetables.
Allie
I appreciate your honest review! I have been taking Balance of Nature for a while now and I really believe in these products. I love that these supplements contain real fruits and vegetables rather than chemicals and fillers. I feel like my body really knows what to do with these nutrients since they come from a whole food source! Great products with great health benefits. The price is definitely worth it!
Jessica
Thanks for sharing Allie, I appreciate your perspective!
Cathie
Are the fruits and vegetables used in this product organic and non-gmo?
Jessica
I'm honestly not sure-- maybe see if you can find something on their website about it?
PB
Yeah! "Color, smell and taste" and they must be more desperate to get their products in your body than these 'vaccine' companies, because you probably take a step inside those facilities and gag like it was a coffee plant! There is so much false advertising and it's so obvious in their commercials that they have to run, alongside all those Fox News channel venues, relieve Factor and the pillow guy. These products are very expensive and so is the membership and when there's a problem you can't reach anybody. I've heard nutritionists and doctors say that if possible the best way to get your nutrients is through the actual food form. And the "doctor' behind this company is a joke. Ya! *' That fresh WHOLE nutrient blah blah blah blah blah make that a fresh wasted 'whole' paycheck. Get the hell off of the tv. And I say that to these ungodly doctors and fake virus campaigns. And yes, these are just my own opinions LOL because I like to get the whole story and do my research. I read that to get these bottles which by the way further waste into the environment, delivered, it requires a signature.
Han
Not true about delivery!
Jerry
Thank you so much Jessica! I kept finding articles directing me to other products. I just wanted a fellow human's review!
Thanks again and you are very beautiful.
Jessica
Thank you, glad I could help!
Harry
You are a paid reviewer of this product, right?
Sarah
As it says at the top, I was given product to try out, with no promise that I would choose to write a post. I decided to write this, and all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. We do have affiliate links in the post, so we get a commission if someone chooses to buy Balance of Nature through our links or uses our discount code.
Willy Boccecolla
Just curious: Can some one tell me how much one single Balance of Nature capsule weighs? Are the fruit and vegetable capsule different weights?
Clarence Taylor
Just like others too expensive. If they like others are so damn good get the price right and volume sales will make sense.
Jody
Seniors on set income can’t afford it!!!
Natureboy
You should disclose that you get a monetary benefit if the customer uses your discount code. Kind of a conflict of interest and hard to be "honest" when trying to make money off a product you are "honestly" reviewing. Just sayin...
Jessica
I do disclose it, multiple times. We have a relationship of trust with our readers that I would not betray for monetary gain. If I recommend a product and the reader hates it then I lose their trust and they are unlikely to trust me again. I only recommend products I use and love and I have been using these products for years now and love them. If they are not for you no worries! I don't care if people buy.
Dennis
No fillers? What a laugh, they use doy as a filler that has no benefits for you at all, and you have no idea how much you are getting from each ingredient, this is clearly a paid review.
Jessica
The updated labels do tell you how much you are getting from each ingredient. I clearly stated in the post that I was given product in exchange for my honest opinion.
Amy
Why is there SOY in Balance of Nature fruits and vegetables? I get too much SOY as it is.
Grace L. Conger
I received (no discount) my first order. I felt better and waited for my next order. None came. I called and after a long wait got to speak with someone. Was told my card was ready to be changed. I said I was aware because I had now received my updated card. They changed what was needed and said my order would be on sent out that day. That was about 10 days ago. I went back to my old prescriptions. Can't get through on the phone. Don't know how to get things moving on your part.
Jessica
Wow Grace that is so frustrating!!! I am so sorry. I don't work for them so I have no idea what is going on there, but I would be super annoyed if I were you, too.
Nancy
Should 3 pills each be taken altogether or spaced throughput the day
Bruce
I took this product for 6 months and felt zero difference. The advertising for this product is great, the product itself? ‘Meh
Bonnie Zaruca
This is an average person…with her “honest” review and she herself can offer $$ off your order today!? Please. Getting paid by the company for her “honest” review.
Christian Smith
I love it
Kathleen
Are these safe to take with medication?
Sarah
I think so, but I'd ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice on that.
MIchael
I was hoping that you could share with us, what type of degree Dr. Howard has? What field does/did he work in? I am always skeptical when they do not share that info? Is he a Biochemist, a medical doctor? Though it was very nice that you wrote this article, i must agree that it sounds more like an advertisement piece then an honest review? How many servings of fruits and vegetables are in the recommended daily pills? Are there any benefits to only taking half the amount that they claim should be taken? Have their claims / study been peer reviewed in the US?
BILLY
Thank you for the truth. All I could find was negative reviews. I think most of it was people didn't want to pay the price for the product.
Jessica
You're so welcome!
Rick Bradley
Why would anyone want to take a pill as opposed to eating the real thing. Stupid! Plus the pills are very expensive.
Jessica
Definitely not intended to be a substitute for eating real fruits and vegetables.
Joe
Seriously, A sucker is born everyday>?
