IM8 scored 58/100: the best-certified all-in-one we’ve scored, still hiding its superfood and adaptogen doses behind proprietary blends, at the top of the price range. Where you go next depends on why you’re leaving.

The alternatives, by what you want

01If NSF certification is why you’re here: stay — few all-in-ones carry NSF Certified for Sport, and for a drug-tested athlete that can be decisive. The alternative to IM8 may be IM8.
02If you want disclosed amounts: Earth Energy Fruits & Veggies prints every amount, no blends, at a fraction of IM8’s ~$78 a month — though without NSF certification. Our pick for label transparency, below.
03If you want the gummy format cheaper: Grüns (50/100) is the pleasant-format option — same proprietary-blend caveat, no NSF, lower price.

The checklist to judge any all-in-one

Hold any alternative to the two standards IM8 splits on: Does it carry a named third-party certification (NSF Certified for Sport is the gold standard)? And are the ingredient amounts disclosed, or hidden in proprietary blends? IM8 wins the first and loses the second; your ideal pick wins both, and few do — which is exactly why the category is worth shopping carefully.
