IM8 set out to replace your daytime supplement stack. Moongreens does the same thing — for the half of the day IM8 doesn’t touch.
If you’re weighing Moongreens vs IM8, you’ve clearly bought into one idea already: that a single, well-built drink should be able to replace a drawer full of separate tubs. That’s the founding logic behind both. The difference is which end of the day each one solves.
IM8’s Daily Ultimate Essentials is a morning all-in-one — around 90 ingredients designed to replace a stack of daytime vitamins, greens and longevity supplements. It’s a genuinely serious product. But it’s built for the day, and it does nothing for your sleep or overnight recovery. That’s the gap.
Two all-in-ones, twelve hours apart
IM8 was reportedly born from David Beckham being tired of taking a dozen-plus supplements every morning. Moongreens was born from the same frustration, pointed at the night: a founder who got sick of travelling with a corner of his suitcase full of sleep and recovery tubs, and decided the whole night-time stack should be one scoop.
So you’re really looking at two products with identical philosophy and opposite shifts. IM8 covers energy, micronutrients and longevity for the day. Moongreens covers cortisol wind-down, sleep depth, recovery and a greens layer for the night.
At a glance
| Moongreens | IM8 | |
|---|---|---|
| When you take it | At night | In the morning |
| Core idea | A night recovery system | An all-in-one daily health and longevity drink |
| Sleep & recovery | Built around it — KSM-66® Ashwagandha, L-Theanine, L-Glycine, 5-HTP | Not a sleep product |
| The blend | Named clinical forms across three layers (stress, sleep, greens & gut), incl. Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate (Albion®), ProbioSEB® CSC-3, BioPerine® | ~90 ingredients — vitamins, minerals, greens, CoQ10, MSM, enzymes, saffron |
| Greens & gut | A greens layer plus ProbioSEB® CSC-3 | Yes — greens, prebiotics, probiotics, digestive enzymes |
| Melatonin | None added | None |
| Flavour | Natural Berry & Citrus | Acai mixed berry |
| Best for | Someone who wants their night handled — sleep, recovery and a greens layer in one scoop | Someone who wants to replace a stack of daytime supplements with one morning drink |
What each actually does
IM8 is built for breadth: vitamins, minerals, greens, CoQ10, MSM, digestive enzymes and, in the newer version, saffron for mood and focus. If daytime coverage is the goal, it’s about as complete as these drinks get, and we’re not pretending Moongreens matches that micronutrient spread for the day.
Moongreens is built for depth at night. KSM-66® Ashwagandha and L-Theanine take down the cortisol of a wired mind; L-Glycine, Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate (Albion®) and 5-HTP from Griffonia Seed support how deeply you sleep and your own melatonin pathway; and a greens and gut layer with ProbioSEB® CSC-3 and BioPerine® handles the overnight side of recovery. Different job, done properly.
So which one should you choose?
If you want one drink to replace your morning vitamins and greens, IM8 is a premium, well-formulated way to do exactly that.
If the part of your routine that’s actually broken is your sleep and recovery — and you’d like a greens layer folded in rather than bolted on — that’s Moongreens. Plenty of people end up running one at each end of the day. For the original benchmark greens, see Moongreens vs AG1; if melatonin is your real concern, Moongreens vs Beam covers it.

Try it for a full sleep cycle
Thirty nights isn’t long enough to judge a recovery formula — the adaptogens take six to eight weeks to reach full effect. So Moongreens comes with a 90-night guarantee: enough time to feel the difference in how you wake up, not just how you fall asleep. If it isn’t doing its job, you haven’t lost anything.
