Introduction

In the crowded market of greens powders, Bloom Nutrition's Greens & Superfoods has captured massive attention, particularly across TikTok for its focus on relieving bloat and supporting digestion, all delivered in a variety of sweet, fruity flavors [1]. It has become an entry point for many consumers new to daily supplements.

This popularity, however, raises a critical question: what is the purpose of a daily health supplement? Is it a targeted fix for a specific symptom like bloating, or is it a comprehensive, foundational system designed to nourish all your body's critical systems?

IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials is built on the latter principle: that true health isn't just the absence of discomfort, but the active support of your cells, gut, brain, joints, and cardiovascular system. It's a formula designed not just as a "greens powder," but as an all-in-one nutritional foundation.

This in-depth comparison will analyze IM8 vs. Bloom, moving beyond social media claims to conduct an evidence-based analysis of their ingredients, dosages, and nutritional philosophies.

Quick Orientation: Main Claims & Who It’s For

The Definitive IM8 vs. Bloom Comparison Chart

Digestive Health: A "Black Box" USP?

Gut health is a cornerstone of overall wellness. According to Dr. Suzanne Devkota, Director of Cedars-Sinai Human Microbiome Research Institute Cedars-Sinai, and Scientific Advisory Board member at IM8, “The gut microbiome not only helps digest food but also synthesizes essential nutrients, regulates immune function, and communicates with the brain through what we call the gut-brain axis.”

Bloom has built its entire brand on a single promise: gut health. Its formula is built on a 3-tier approach: a "Fiber Blend," a "Digestive Enzyme Blend," and a "Pre and Probiotic Blend" [1]. This combination is why it can help with bloating- the enzymes help break down food, and the fiber/prebiotics support the gut.

However, for a product that is primarily a digestive supplement, its formulation logic is surprisingly opaque. All three of these blends are proprietary, meaning the consumer has no idea how much of any specific ingredient they are getting.

This is most problematic in its "Pre and Probiotic Blend." The single most important metric for a probiotic is its dose, measured in Colony Forming Units (CFU). Shockingly, Bloom Greens does not specify the amount of probiotics it contains. Is it 10 billion CFU? 1 billion? 100? It is impossible for a consumer to know if they are getting a clinically effective dose or a useless, non-functional sprinkle.

The same is true for its "Digestive Enzyme Blend." The efficacy of enzymes is measured in activity units (like HUT, DU, or FIP), not just weight. Bloom provides none of this information. It is a "black box" where potency and transparency matter most.

IM8's logic is to provide a completely transparent gut health solution. It features a 4-Tier Gut Health System:

1. Prebiotics: (Guar Fiber, Agave Inulin) to nourish beneficial bacteria.
2. Probiotics: Where Bloom hides its dose, IM8 provides a transparent 10 Billion CFU of shelf-stable, spore-forming strains of B. subtilis DE111® + B. coagulans BC99®
3. A Full Digestive Enzyme Complex: Where Bloom hides its activity, IM8 lists A complete enzyme complex (amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase) helps break down food, reduce bloating, and enhance nutrient absorption from your diet and the supplement itself
4. A Postbiotic (FloraSMART®): This is the advanced component that Bloom lacks entirely. Postbiotics are non-living compounds that have been shown to provide immediate support for the gut barrier and help modulate the immune system [3].

While Bloom markets bloating (a symptom), IM8 delivers a more advanced, complete, and verifiable solution for the entire gut ecosystem.

Core Nutrients & Bioavailability

A "foundational" supplement must first provide the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs to function. An analysis of Bloom's supplement panel immediately reveals its formulation logic is one of omission. It provides a basic vitamin panel but does not list dosages for critical minerals like Magnesium, Zinc, or Selenium [1]. It proves that Bloom is not designed to be a multivitamin or a complete nutritional base. It is a digestive aid with some greens added.

By contrast, IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials is built as a complete multivitamin replacement. Its formulation logic is to fill the most common nutritional gaps with high-efficacy ingredients. It provides a 100% transparent panel of 25 essential vitamins and minerals, including activated B-vitamins, 65mg of Magnesium Glycinate, 15mg of Zinc Citrate, and 70mcg of Selenomethionine - all in their most bioavailable forms.

The Vitamin D Difference

A prime example of Bloom's formulation logic is its choice of Vitamin D. Bloom includes 800 IU of Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) [1]. This is an older, less expensive form of the vitamin. The problem? A wide body of research, including numerous meta-analyses, has concluded that Vitamin D3 is significantly more effective at raising and maintaining serum vitamin D levels than D2 [2]. Bloom's choice, while cutting costs, compromises the efficacy of a critical nutrient for immunity, bone health, and mood.

IM8's formulation logic is efficacy-first. It includes 1,200 IU of VegD3®, the active D3 (Cholecalciferol) form that your body produces from sunlight. It's sourced from vegan-friendly lichen, ensuring both maximum efficacy and quality.

Beyond the Basics: A Vague "Energy" Claim vs. a Real Energy System

After gut health, Bloom's secondary claim is that it "promotes energy" [1]. But a look at its formula shows this claim is vague. The "energy" is presumably a downstream effect of its small greens blend or its 100mg "Adaptogenic Blend", which is not a functional, targeted system.

IM8's formulation logic delivers on the promise of energy in three distinct, high-dose, and transparent ways:

1. Metabolic Energy: A full spectrum of activated B-Vitamins (like Methyl-B12 and B6) that are essential cofactors for your body's metabolic processes that convert food into energy.
2. Cellular Energy: 100mg of Coenzyme Q10, a functional dose of the compound your mitochondria require to generate cellular energy (ATP).
3. Hydration & Neural Energy: A 2,500mg Hydra Electrolytes Complex (Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium) that supports fluid balance and nerve function, which is critical for fighting fatigue and maintaining energy levels.

Furthermore, while Bloom's support ends at digestion and vague energy, IM8's formula includes four additional, high-dose complexes that Bloom omits entirely:

• Joint & Muscle: 1,000mg of MSM. A meta-analysis has shown MSM can improve symptoms of osteoarthritis at this dose
• Heart Health: 100mg of Coenzyme Q10. Reviews on CoQ10 highlight its critical role in cellular energy and heart health
• Hydration: 2,500mg Hydra Electrolytes Complex (Potassium Citrate, Magnesium Glycinate, Calcium Citrate, Calcium Phosphate)
• Recovery: 1,165mg Essential Amino & Renew Complex, including BCAAs, which a meta-analysis confirmed can reduce post-exercise muscle soreness

Net: Bloom's formula targets digestion, energy and names adaptogens. IM8's formula targets the entire body as an interconnected system.

The Future of Wellness: A Short-Term Fix vs. a Long-Term Strategy

Bloom's formulation is myopic. It is focused entirely on a short-term, symptomatic problem (bloating). It has no ingredients aimed at long-term cellular health, the fundamental process of aging, or health span.

IM8's formulation is built for both the short-term feeling and the long-term game. It includes the proprietary 25mg Cell Rejuvenation Technology 8™ (CRT8™). This complex features ingredients like Spermidine, a key polyamine that research has shown induces autophagy, the body's cellular cleanup and renewal process, promoting longevity [8].

Bonus: Ingredient Provenance

Bloom's reliance on proprietary blends of generic ingredients means the source, quality, and consistency are unknown [1].

IM8's logic is to use premium, branded, and traceable ingredients (e.g., Quatrefolic® folate, VegD3®, FloraSMART®). This is a mark of a premium formulation and ensures the ingredient you're getting is the same one used in clinical studies.

Price, Taste, Shipping, and Extras

Price

Bloom’s entry price (≈$1.33/serving) makes it easy to start a greens habit - but the formula is intentionally light and generalist, so you’ll likely stack other products if you want fuller daily coverage. IM8’s subscriber price (≈$2.96/serving) reflects a different promise: one scoop that meaningfully consolidates multiple categories many people buy separately. In practice, that means fewer tubs on your counter and far more mileage per serving.

What IM8 replaces in a single scoop:

• A high-end multivitamin (with D3 + K2)
• A 4-tier gut system (pre + 10B CFU spore-forming probiotics + full enzyme panel + postbiotic)
• A joint supplement (1,000 mg MSM)
• A heart/cellular energy supplement (100 mg CoQ10)
• A full electrolyte mix
• An amino/BCAA recovery product
• A role-based adaptogen & functional mushroom complex
• A cellular maintenance/longevity layer (CRT8™)

When you tally what you’d otherwise add à la carte, IM8 delivers more function per dollar- the classic “you get what you pay for.”

Taste

Bloom leans hard into approachable, sweet, stevia-based, fruit-forward flavors - a candy-adjacent profile that masks "greens" notes and plays well to mass-market palates.

The result is an easy, dessert-leaning sip that makes daily adherence simple, especially for first-time greens drinkers or anyone sensitive to earthy/vegetal aftertastes.

IM8 takes a different path: a single acai/mixed-berry profile, with cacao finishing notes, sweetened with Reb M (from fermented sugarcane) - stevia-free by design. Reb M delivers a round, sugar-like sweetness with a clean finish (no metallic or bitter echo), so the flavor feels smooth and grown-up rather than sugary.

Net: If you want lots of flavor variety and a softer, fruit-punch vibe, Bloom plays to that preference. If you care more about a refined, non-stevia sweetness you can drink every day without fatigue, IM8's approach will likely land better.

The Final Verdict

An analysis of Bloom's formulation logic reveals it is a symptom focused digestive aid, not a foundational supplement. It uses opaque blends to target bloating - and does not declare its probiotic dose - while lacking ingredient-backed logic for its energy claims.

Bottom line: For those looking for a foundational health system that provides 100% transparent and clinically studied doses across 8+ distinct areas of health - including a 4 tier digestive solution for real gut support, energy, and long term health - IM8 Daily Essentials is the clear, science backed choice.
