Care/of 4+

Skeptical at first. Oh, try the blueberry gut packs!

I avoided this offer forever. I had bought my own vitamins and weekly would divide them into a case. I did my best to research before I bought but that was it. When I finally tried it I was happy with the questions asked, the recommended options and the option to remove or add stuff. After two months I got a new recommendation and I swapped out something that I felt was redundant. I really feel a difference (e.g. less lethargic mid day, brighter/even skin etc.) and having the packs has made travel easy- even working from home- I just grab it and head to my office. The app reminders are helpful and I even earned enough points to get free stuff and take $10 off an order.

I ordered the gut packets and OMG! The taste is awesome, it’s almost silky in texture and it helps if you feel a little full, a little off or have heartburn. I was taking tums nightly and now with vitamins and gut packs I’m just not needing them. I went from using gut packs daily to maybe twice a week. My husband LOVES them too.

I have been very happy with Care/of.

Good concept. Clunky app and unreliable in reality

I love the idea of Care/Of. I like that the quiz pointed me to some supplements that I hadn’t considered before that have actually helped with my concerns. However, there are some definite issues. First, this app is super clunky and difficult to navigate. Old subscriptions still show up even if you’ve cancelled them, you can’t back date vitamin tracking, it takes several clicks just to find what’s coming in my next order. One of my least favorite apps on my phone to use. Second, they’ve had a lot of supply issues since the pandemic that they haven’t sorted out. First my orders came in bottles for a couple months (Which was fine. I know they were still adjusting to new demand and supply chain constraints). Now I’ve had several months where certain supplements are just out of stock and not sent with my box - even though they’re not new additions to my box but something I’ve been getting for 6+ months at this point. This in particular defeats the purpose of care/of for me. It’s been over a year since the pandemic started and they’re still blaming things on supply chain and staffing issues. It’s not ok and I’m seriously considering stopping my subscription once I figure out alternatives.

Finally was able to track the prior day that was under 30 min ago

I feel like just about everything I hoped we could do with the tracking portion of the app has happened with the revamp! I was never worried about my points but was worried because occasionally taking my nighttime vitamin right after midnight couldn’t be tracked- bothered me that it would say 3 days tracked, 5 days tracked even though I do consistently take my vitamin.

I’ve been enjoying the (sibling app) Routine greatly in the meantime and definitely see some of it within the revamp here. I definitely recommend both apps together. I think the new vitamin tracking is like a mini version of Routine and probably is the exact amount someone needs. I am neurodivergent and HiGHLY think both are helping me so much with work and chores- really just memory overall, and a dopamine boost with Routine. Thank you for considering all suggestions and giving us some grace if we missed our alarm and notification to track 🙋🏻‍♀️ like I did this evening.
