I Tried This High-Tech, Liquid Beauty Supplement Brings The Glow From Inside Out

Skin, hair, & nails pop off on a cellular level.

I’ve tried half a dozen or more vitamins that promise to pump up my fine hair, give me a dewy complexion, and strengthen the nails that I bite. I haven’t noticed much. When I learned, apparently, the majority of typical pills and gummies get peed right out when you take them, well, I was naturally a little annoyed.

When I saw Beautiful Glow from 2x4 Nutrition, I was immediately curious because it’s easy to see this is something different (I mean, clearly — it’s a liquid). When I learned about the science behind it, though, I was so excited that as soon as I got it I made a beeline for the kitchen.

OK, What’s The Deal With The Science?

What sets Beautiful Glow (and all the supplements from 2x4) apart is the propriety biotech behind how the nutrients get delivered into your blood. Developed by doctor, chemist, and mom Mallory Blair, it’s called Nutristack Liposomal Technology and is actually based on breast milk.

Apparently, this is how it works: Lipids, or tiny liquid fat bubbles, are used to wrap up the desired nutrients into tiny packages that are easily absorbed into your bloodstream. The good stuff travels from there to your cells — where the magic happens. According to the brand, the tech is clinically proven to increase absorption by up to 15x, allowing your body to take in 95% of the nutrients in the solution.

What that means with Beautiful Glow is that a potent blend of body-boosting vitamins including C and A, along with biotin, folate, and natural herbs, get to work within minutes of being sipped down. The magic mix is formulated to hydrate and nourish skin, help maintain skin elasticity, and even help with hyperpigmentation. The formula also nourishes hair, promotes growth and moisture, and strengthens nails. It even has antioxidant support, which can help neutralize free radicals in the body. Yes, please, I’ll take all of that.

My Experience

First impressions: I squeezed some into a spoon and was struck by the rich, gorgeous color of the liquid. It’s like a deep, tropical sunset orange that manages to look packed with nutritious goodness that I want in my body. I tried it on its own to get a sense of what’s going on. Does it taste like candy? No. It does taste like there’s a lot going on in that little spoonful, though, and I’m not here for snack time.

I like to start my day with a glass of lemon water (or, I try to) and Beautiful Glow turns it into a pretty, fruity-tasting orange drink. But, it’s also really tasty just on its own with water, or mixed into a smoothie — just be sure to stir it in after; don’t blend it.

My Results

I think I have seen some early, but promising results, however, it’s important to remember that not everyone may have the same experience.

The main difference I’ve noticed is in my face. I’ve generally had decent skin that leans toward dry and sensitive, not super problematic, though as I get older it’s not quite as “glow-y” as in earlier years. A few weeks into taking Beautiful Glow daily, it feels supple and looks dewy.

My nails seem to be growing quicker with very white tips, and feel strong. My hair is fine and also tends toward dryness. I daresay my strands are feeling more resilient, and overall my hair seems to be less dry and frizzy, even in this hot, humid summer, which comes as a real surprise.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve also been on the pills and supplements merry-go-round, without seeing much difference in your hair, skin, and nails, Beautiful Glow could be worth checking out. But it’s also always a good idea to discuss any vitamins and supplements with your doctor to make sure it’s right for you.
