Disclaimer: I received free products from NOW Foods to test out for the #SpringIntoNOW campaign due to affiliation with FitApproach. As always, all opinions are my own!
Happy Friday! At the beginning of the month, I participated in the #SpringIntoNOW Instagram Challenge. Not only have I enjoyed using all of the products, but it was great to connect with other SweatPink ambassadors as well.
We covered a lot of ground over those 10 days, so I thought it would be helpful to put all of the products into one blog post. Here’s a rundown of all the products (including price and product description) that were featured during the challenge!
NOW Probiotic-10™ Packets
$19.99 – 24 packets
Each NOW® Probiotic-10™ packet has at least 10 billion live organisms consisting of probiotic bacterial strains that are known to colonize the human GI tract plus Inulin to promote the growth of a balanced spectrum of organisms throughout the intestinal tract.* This convenient unflavored powder mixes easily in water or juice, is appropriate for vegetarians and vegans, and is dairy and gluten free.
NOW Rosewater Rejuvenating Mist

With a delicate and alluring floral scent, Rosewater Rejuvenating Mist is a soothing, multipurpose freshening solution that instantly hydrates and revitalizes dry or sensitive skin any time of the year.

NOW® Sports Beet Root Powder is a pure derivative from non-GMO beets that’s dried and not extracted. Beets are a true superfood and are naturally abundant in a variety of nutrients including nitrates. Each tablespoon serving of NOW® Sports Beet Root Powder is equivalent to 2.5 whole beets.

NOW Sports Organic MCT Oil
$19.99 – 16 fl oz
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats that are naturally found in both coconut and palm kernel oils, but NOW® Sports Organic MCT Oil is derived exclusively from organic coconut oil. MCTs are more easily and rapidly digested than other types of fats. They are readily absorbed from the GI tract and are metabolized very quickly by the liver, where they are reported to encourage the use of fat for energy rather than for storage.* Numerous studies suggest that substituting MCT oil for other fats in a healthy diet may therefore help to support healthy weight and body composition.*
NOW Tru-C™ Veg Capsules
$25.99 – 60 capsules
Tru-C™ features acerola, a fruit from a plant native to South America. Acerola has one of the highest concentrations of vitamin C found in nature, with a content that’s approximately 100 times that of a peeled orange. Acerola also has naturally occurring carotenoids and flavonoids which, together with vitamin C, support immune and vascular health and give acerola its potent free radical-neutralizing properties.* This formula contains no vitamin C from corn or citrus and includes a unique fruit and vegetable blend.

Wendy says
This looked like such a fun campaign and you really did a nice job showcasing some interesting products that NOW foods offers!
Will you continue to use them?
kookyrunner says
Definitely! They also sent me a container of collagen but I didn’t use that as I use the great lakes brand. They also sent me the wasabi peanut butter and that’s the only thing I won’t use since I don’t like spicy food, lol
Coco says
That’s a lot of great products. And quite a variety. The shave lotion looks great. I am trying to take better care of ALL my skin these days.
kookyrunner says
Same here! I started a night time skincare routine this year.
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
Oooh! Salted caramel cashew butter sounds divine! But how can it only have 2 gym sugar!
I have tried beet powder in the past. A hard pass. Although I bet combined with Nuun it wouldn’t be so bad — there’s an idea!
kookyrunner says
Right? I was surprised that the sugar was so low but yet it tasted so good!
I actually like the beet root powder because it’s not overly sweet, but I do agree that it’s an acquired taste lol
Deborah @ Confessions of mother runner says
Wow that’s quite a haul you got to review! I have been wondering about beet powder-do you think you will continue using it?
kookyrunner says
I like the beet root powder because it’s not overly sweet. I hate when products taste too “sugary” and this one doesnt.
patrick@looneyforfood.com says
Thats a lot of products!
kookyrunner says
Yup! Tons of great products.
Lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
I have never heard of the brand Now. Those nut butters sound tasty.
kookyrunner says
The nut butters are great!
Kimberly Hatting says
I have heard of NOW, but had not seen any of these specific products before. The Rosewater Mist has me intrigued!!
kookyrunner says
The rosewater mist smells good and it does give my skin a little bit of a glow!
Laurie says
Thanks for the great tips! These will help a lot of runners.
kookyrunner says
You’re welcome!
Montana @ Pretty Lil Mudder says
I haven’t tried anything from this brand, but I’m not one for supplements or other things you add to meals. I usually end up with a pantry full of samples and products I haven’t opened!
kookyrunner says
LOL I used to be that way because I wasn’t really sure what I needed to take. Now that I know what I need, it’s easy for me to buy those products and take them.
Jenny says
Interesting. I’ve never heard of any of these until now.
kookyrunner says
If you try any of the products, please let me know what you think!
Marcia says
I’ve been using Now products for years and I love them. The creative nut butter flavors are so fun!
kookyrunner says
I was so impressed with the nut butter! Smooth and full of flavor, but not overly sweet.
Esther says
It was so fun to try some new products and see how everyone used them!
Thanks for sharing a full post!
kookyrunner says
You’re very welcome!
Darlene says
I’ve never tried these and wish I got into the campaign.
Thanks for the info.
I’m so out of the loop regarding healhy food.

No problem – happy to provide as much info as possible!
