Why Compare IM8 and MultiAbsorb?

People have been asking me whether IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials is similar to MultiAbsorb Immune Booster. 

On the surface, they look similar. Both are powdered nutritional supplements designed to support overall health. Both contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and additional nutrients. Both are marketed as premium, science-backed formulations.

But when you look closely at the ingredient list and dosages, there are some very important differences. This review will compare the two products side by side so you can decide which one is the better fit for your body and your budget.

Price Comparison

A 30-day supply of IM8 costs $89 per month on subscription.

If you choose the 90-day subscription, the cost drops to about $78 per month (or $2.61 per serving).

A 30-day supply of MultiAbsorb Immune Booster costs $52. So MultiAbsorb costs roughly 40–45% less than IM8.

Why? Because Imix Nutrition, the company that manufactures MultiAbsorb, is owned by my husband, Ian Thompson. And all Imix formulas are designed by me.

Our goal has always been simple:

To provide the highest-quality healing supplements at the lowest price possible. We are not trying to build a massive advertising machine or celebrity-driven brand. We just want to help real people get real results. Our entire family uses Imix products, along with hundreds of thousands of my readers who have sensitive digestive systems.

Ingredient Transparency

One of the biggest differences between these two products is transparency.

IM8 Uses Multiple Proprietary Blends

IM8 contains several large blends, including:

  • Raw Superfoods, Greens, Fruits & Herbs Complex – 7.5 g
  • CRT8 longevity blend
  • Digestive enzymes, adaptogens & super mushrooms complex
  • Essential Amino & Renew Complex

This sounds impressive. But in many cases, the exact amount of each ingredient is not disclosed.

For example, if a blend contains turmeric, resveratrol, berberine, and pomegranate, you do not know whether you are getting a meaningful therapeutic dose—or just a sprinkle.

Most people see a long list of ingredients and assume more is better. But if you do not know the actual amount of each ingredient, it is impossible to know how much benefit you are likely to receive.

 

MultiAbsorb Lists Exact Dosages

MultiAbsorb clearly lists nearly every ingredient and its exact amount.

There are no mystery blends hiding behind impressive marketing language.

You know exactly what you are putting into your body.

For me, that level of transparency is essential.

Therapeutic Dosages of Essential Nutrients

MultiAbsorb provides high levels of the core nutrients your body needs every day.

This includes:

  • Therapeutic levels of the B-complex vitamins
  • CoQ10 (100 mg)
  • Quercetin (200 mg)
  • Organic Moringa (305 mg)
  • Rutin (100 mg)
  • Enzogenol Pine Bark Extract (50 mg)
  • Lutein and Zeaxanthin for eye health

These nutrients support:

  • Immune function
  • Energy production
  • Nervous system health
  • Detoxification pathways
  • Vision
  • Cardiovascular health
  • Histamine balance
  • Gut repair

IM8 also contains many beneficial nutrients, but because several are tucked into proprietary blends, the actual therapeutic value is harder to assess.

Designed for Sensitive Bodies

This is where MultiAbsorb Immune Booster truly shines.

I formulated MultiAbsorb specifically for people with:

  • IBS
  • IBD
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • SIBO
  • Leaky gut
  • Histamine intolerance
  • Post-surgical digestive issues

If your body reacts to supplements, herbs, probiotics, or fibers, you need a formula that is gentle and intentional.

MultiAbsorb Immune Booster was designed for exactly that purpose.

Why Certain Ingredients Are Not Included in MultiAbsorb

Some ingredients that appear in IM8 are intentionally omitted from MultiAbsorb Immune Booster.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)

ALA can cause:

  • Loose stools
  • Nausea
  • Gastrointestinal upset

Iron

Iron can irritate the intestinal lining and may trigger bleeding in people with IBD.

Prebiotic Fibers (Including Inulin)

IM8 contains inulin and other prebiotic ingredients.

These may be beneficial for some people.

But if you have SIBO or dysbiosis, prebiotics can feed the wrong bacteria and worsen bloating and gas.

Probiotics and Postbiotics

IM8 contains probiotics and postbiotics.

MultiAbsorb does not.

This is intentional.

When your microbiome is out of balance, adding probiotics may worsen symptoms rather than improve them.

And unless probiotics are refrigerated from manufacturing to consumption, many organisms may not remain viable.

MSM (1,500 mg)

IM8 includes a large dose of methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).

While some people tolerate MSM well, others experience headaches, bloating, or digestive discomfort.

Berberine

Berberine can be extremely helpful, but it is also quite potent and may cause constipation, cramping, or interactions with medications.

Why Some Nutrients Are Kept Lower in MultiAbsorb

You may notice that certain nutrients are present in lower amounts.

This is intentional.

Vitamin C

IM8 provides 900 mg of ascorbic acid.

For sensitive individuals, that amount can loosen the bowel.

MultiAbsorb provides 100 mg in gentler forms:

  • Calcium Ascorbate
  • Ascorbyl Palmitate

Calcium and Magnesium

Higher amounts of these minerals can cause digestive side effects.

Imix offers highly absorbable ionic liquid minerals separately, which are absorbed through the tissues of the mouth and bypass digestion.

Simplicity vs Complexity

IM8 contains more than 90 ingredients.

That may sound impressive.

But more ingredients do not automatically mean better results.

For people with robust digestive systems, IM8 may be a good fit.

For people with sensitive systems, complex formulations often create more problems than they solve.

MultiAbsorb focuses on what matters most:

The right nutrients, in the right forms, at the right dosages.

No unnecessary complexity.

Third-Party Testing and Certification

IM8 is:

  • Third-party tested
  • NSF Certified for Sport
  • Screened for over 280 banned substances, heavy metals, and contaminants

This is an excellent quality standard, especially for competitive athletes.

Imix Nutrition also maintains rigorous quality standards and manufactures products with careful attention to purity and ingredient sourcing.

Taste and Ease of Use

Both products mix easily and are designed for daily use.

MultiAbsorb tastes delicious and can be mixed into:

  • Water
  • Smoothies
  • Protein shakes

Key Nutrients and Benefits

MultiAbsorb Immune Booster contains high (therapeutic-level) dosages of essential vitamins.

This includes the entire vitamin B complex at therapeutic levels, along with co-factors like choline and myo-inositol.

These nutrients are known to support:

  • Immune function
  • Energy production
  • Nervous system health
  • Normal psychological function
  • Normal energy-yielding metabolism
  • Maintenance of normal bones
  • Gut health
  • Intestinal mucosa
  • Digestive support
  • Normal digestive enzyme function

You also do not need to purchase separate supplements for:

  • Vision and eye health
  • Histamine balance and allergies
  • Cardiovascular support
  • Adrenal support
  • Immune function
  • Antioxidant protection

They are already included within the formula through ingredients like quercetin, rutin, lutein, zeaxanthin, moringa, grape seed extract, CoQ10, and Enzogenol Pine Bark Extract. IM8 also contains many beneficial nutrients and additional compounds. However, because several ingredients are hidden inside proprietary blends, it is difficult to know the exact therapeutic amount of each.

If your body is extremely sensitive and you struggle with greens powders, herbs, probiotics, or digestive blends, then I usually recommend starting with MultiAbsorb Daily Essential first. It contains vitamins, antioxidants, bioflavonoids, trace minerals, and amino acids in a gentler formulation.

Begin with just 1/4 or 1/2 scoop every other day with food and slowly work your way up. My personal favorite is adding it to a smoothie. My 84-year-old mum drinks hers in water every single day and would not go without it.

Customer Service and Support

Imix Nutrition provides great customer service. Many users leave genuine reviews. Free shipping is available. People say it helps them maintain a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition.

Important Considerations

This blog includes a medical disclaimer. Always check with your healthcare provider before starting new dietary supplements. There can be potential side effects. Especially if you take anticoagulant medication or other drugs.

These products are not made for young children unless advised by a doctor and dosage is adjusted according to the weight of the child.

Final Comparison

IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials is an ambitious and well-marketed product.

It includes a wide range of nutrients, superfoods, probiotics, enzymes, and longevity ingredients. It is third-party tested and NSF Certified for Sport.

For healthy adults and athletes who enjoy comprehensive formulas, IM8 may be a good option.

But if you have:

  • IBS
  • IBD
  • SIBO
  • Histamine intolerance
  • A highly sensitive digestive system

then simpler is often better.

MultiAbsorb Immune Booster was specifically formulated for people who need therapeutic nutrition without ingredients that can aggravate the gut.

You get:

  • Transparent labeling
  • Clinically meaningful dosages
  • Carefully selected ingredients
  • Gut-friendly formulation
  • A significantly lower price

At $52 per month, MultiAbsorb Immune Booster provides exceptional value and targeted support for healing.

If you want clear dosages, effective ingredients, and a formula designed by someone who has personally navigated severe digestive illness, MultiAbsorb Immune Booster is the better choice.
