Have you been dealing with various health issues, like bloating, leaky gut, dull skin, fatigue, and even brain fog?
If any of these ring a bell, you should consider adding CoBionic Foundation Prebiotic Fiber in your diet.
So, what exactly is Foundation, and how could it help with all of these issues? Let me explain…
CoBionic Foundation is the world’s first full-spectrum prebiotic superfood blend. That means it’s a complex and comprehensive blend of all the different prebiotic fibers and resistant starch designed to feed your good gut bacteria.*
In other words, Foundation serves as food for probiotics. If you’re taking a probiotic supplement without adding prebiotics, there’s a good chance all those micro-organisms are just going to starve to death.*
So why can’t we just eat fibrous vegetables to get the prebiotics we need? Truth is, it’s actually very hard to eat enough fibrous foods to feed the trillions of good microbes in your gut. And unless you’re a fan of peeling, chopping, and preparing, it’s quite the task, too.
Here’s where CoBionic Foundation makes things super easy. Just add a scoop of the white, berry-flavored powder in your smoothie, tea, water, or anything else, and you’re good for the day.
CoBionic was founded by Louise and Jeremy Hendon, and as you may already know they take nutrition and gut health seriously. CoBionic Foundation is 100% natural, made without fillers or artificial ingredients.
Foundation is also gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO, paleo and keto friendly, and vegan. It dissolves easily in any liquid, without lumps or chalky aftertaste.
Generally, yes. We all need to support our good gut bacteria, and Foundation is made of all-natural ingredients.* As with any supplement, children, pregnant or nursing women, and people with medical conditions should check things with their physician before starting a new supplement.*
My kids love Foundation – they think it tastes like a strawberry milkshake!
CoBionic Foundation has not been inspected by the FDA. It is not used to treat any medical conditions, and only drugs used to treat medical conditions would need to be FDA approved.
Foundation is manufactured in the United States, at a facility that has been certified to meet the highest quality cGMP standards.
Sorry – Foundation is not designed to be a meal replacement. And honestly, you should aim to get your daily calories by eating real foods. 🙂
However, if you are trying to lose weight, Foundation can be helpful! A healthy, balanced gut is one of the key elements for successful weight loss. Adding prebiotic fiber in your diet can help you feel fuller and curb cravings.
To be more specific, this is what Foundation can do to support your weight loss journey:
This is completely up to you!
Some people like to add a scoop of Foundation in their morning smoothie every day. Others prefer making an afternoon shake with Foundation and water or almond milk every other day.
Sometimes I mix a scoop of Foundation in coconut yogurt – you could even sprinkle it on top of your breakfast granola.
Experimenting with different recipes and amounts is how you find your perfect balance!
I’m glad you asked! This is one of my favorite parts to talk about. Foundation doesn’t contain any fillers or artificial junk – just 100% natural ingredients that help your good gut bacteria thrive.
Here are the ingredients:
Comprehensive Prebiotic Blend:
Anti-Inflammatory Blend:
Other ingredients:
There are tons of studies on the benefits of all of these ingredients that you can find by doing a quick search online. But here’s a recap of some of the most important things.
High-DP Inulin:
Inulin is extracted from the chicory root. It’s a soluble fiber, and according to studies it is one of the best prebiotic fibers to support beneficial gut bacteria, but ONLY if the “Degree of Polymerization” is high.
Acacia Gum:
Acacia Gum Fiber (or gum arabic, or Senegal gum, as it’s also known) is a natural gum consisting of the hardened sap of the acacia tree. Studies have found women taking it experienced “significant reduction in BMI and body fat percentage.”
Psyllium Seed Husk Powder:
Psyllium Seed Husk Powder helps feed your gut microbiome, but the fiber found in the powder also soaks up water in your gut and promotes regularity, which makes this powder great for improving overall gut health.
Green Banana Flour:
Green Banana Flour is – just as you’d expect, a natural flour made from dwarf green bananas. These bananas are extremely rich in resistant starch and fiber. According to studies, green banana flour helps fight intestinal inflammation and also is an important ingredient when it comes to feeding a wider range of microbiota.
Glucomannan:
Glucomannan is made from the roots of the Konjac plant, and it’s originally from Southeast Asia. Besides increasing satiety, studies have shown that glucomannan can improve carbohydrate metabolism, promote a healthy colon, and even lower cholesterol.
Artichoke Leaf Extract:
Artichokes have been known and used for their potential medicinal properties for hundreds of years. Artichoke leaf extract has been shown to increase bile production, lower cholesterol and improve symptoms of IBS.
Fermented L-Glutamine:
L-Glutamine is a vital amino acid that heals all tissue in the body. It has been used to help people lose weight, burn fat, and generally improve their overall health. L-Glutamine can help heal leaky gut by rebuilding the intestinal walls.
Sorry, no. Currently Foundation is only available in the mixed-berry flavor, but I can tell you it tastes delicious! I’ve used it for a long time, and I still look forward to drinking it every day!
Foundation is not in stores (yet), but you can purchase it from Amazon, or directly from the CoBionic website shop.
You’ll get 25% off the list price when you order from their shop, and if you decide to get the subscription you’ll save over 33% more!
CoBionic offers free shipping on all US orders. If you’re outside of the US, I recommend checking Amazon (the US version). They are shipping CoBionic products to many international locations for a smaller shipping + customs fee.
Based on my experience, absolutely yes. Adding Foundation Prebiotic Fiber in my diet has made a huge difference for me. I feel that my gut is much more balanced, my digestive issues are history, and overall I just feel more energetic and healthy.
But don’t just trust me! Here’s what other people have said about Foundation:
Just try it!
I run across a lot of different pills and powders as a health coach but I don’t give them much thought. However, CoBionic is a household staple for us. It is not only delicious but amazing for my family’s gut.
Knowing that our gut health is connected to our brains and moods is enough reason right there to consume it everyday. It isn’t just a “health supplement”.
Keeping our bodies on the up and up gives our home peace, my children focus in school and Ken and I energy to keep working and be present parents.
Jeremy and Louise have done the hard work so that we can enjoy the benefits of quality ingredients that are safe to consume every day.
Are there probiotics in Foundation?
No, Foundation Prebiotic Fiber doesn’t contain any probiotics. Instead, Foundation is designed to help your probiotics work even better. Foundation contains prebiotic fiber – this is what your gut’s good bacteria need to survive and flourish.
I highly recommend taking probiotics, but the problem is those probiotics won’t keep surviving if you don’t feed them with a comprehensive range of prebiotic fibers (and that’s what Foundation provides).
Is Foundation vegan / dairy-free?
Yes, Foundation Prebiotic Fiber is completely vegan and does not include gluten, dairy, soy, added fillers or artificial colors.
How many servings in a bottle?
This actually depends on how much you take every day. CoBionic lists 20 servings (scoops) per bottle, but some people take just 1/2 a scoop per day, while others take 2-3 scoops per day.
How do I store Foundation?
Close the lid tightly, and keep the container in a cool and dry place. Refrigeration is not needed.

You might have read that CoBionic Indulgence Chocolate Collagen can help with dry and dull skin, brittle hair, weak nails, and aching joints by boosting your body’s collagen as well as other essential nutrients.*
So, does it work? My experience has been hugely positive and in this review, I’ll explain what Indulgence is, why it works, how great it tastes, and how I use it.
CoBionic Indulgence Chocolate Collagen is a chocolate-flavored collagen powder (with coconut milk powder already in it), so you can mix it with hot water for a dairy-free hot chocolate or blend with cold water and ice to get a chocolate milkshake.
Indulgence was especially designed to boost your collagen intake without sacrificing taste.* And like I mentioned earlier, boosting your collagen intake could help your skin stay tight and clear and your hair and nails stay strong.
There are a lot of expensive collagen creams out there, so couldn’t we just use those to keep our skin looking youthful and firm?
Not exactly. Collagen molecules are too big to pass through the surface of the skin. So even though all those creams might do a nice job hydrating your skin, applying collagen topically is not an effective way to get all its benefits.
And if you look into the scientific studies, many point to drinking collagen as the most effective way of getting it into your body.
CoBionic is a US-based, woman-owned business and they take quality really seriously! Indulgence is manufactured in Texas, USA, and uses grass-fed collagen and only a total of 7 ultra-pure ingredients.
That’s why Indulgence is gluten-free, dairy-free, non-GMO, paleo and keto friendly – and of course, super delicious! It dissolves easily in any liquid, and you can even bake with it.
Generally, yes. Indulgence is made of all-natural ingredients, so it’s safe to use for most people. As with any supplement, children, pregnant or nursing women, and people with medical conditions should check things with their physician before starting a new supplement.*
Indulgence is especially great for people who want to take care of their hair, skin, nails, and improve their joint and gut health.
Like most supplements, CoBionic Indulgence has not been inspected by the FDA. It is not used to treat any medical conditions, and only drugs used to treat medical conditions would need to be FDA approved.
However, Indulgence is manufactured at a facility that has been certified to meet the highest quality cGMP standards.
Sorry – Indulgence is not designed as a meal replacement. There is 9 grams of grass-fed collagen protein per scoop, so you can add it into various meals, like shakes, smoothies, granola, or yogurt to enjoy its benefits.
I like drinking shakes, and it’s a simple way for me to add collagen plus protein into my diet.
(If you’re interested in a more traditional protein supplement, they do have one with 19 grams of plant-based protein – Awaken Plant-Based Protein. Again, it’s completely dairy-free!)
Here’s a few benefits of taking a high quality collagen supplement like CoBionic Indulgence:*
There are so many different ways of using Indulgence, they give you an entire cookbook with your purchase!
The easiest way to enjoy Indulgence is to mix it with hot water to make a delicious hot chocolate. If you prefer a milkshake, just blend Indulgence with some ice and coconut milk.
You can also use it in baking – just replace cocoa powder with Indulgence in your favorite recipes to create desserts that support your skin and hair.
Here are the full list of ingredients in CoBionic Indulgence Chocolate Collagen:
Yes, the only sweetener used in Indulgence is monk fruit, which is an all-natural, calorie-free sweetener. Most people on Paleo love this sweetener. I don’t find it has any aftertaste, but tastebuds can vary of course!
They also don’t overload Indulgence with the sweetener, so you can still enjoy the chocolate flavor too.
It only comes in chocolate flavor right now. I’m not even a chocolate person, but I still love the flavor!
Indulgence is not in stores, but you can find it on Amazon.com, or from CoBionic’s website.
Each bottle of CoBionic Indulgence lasts around a month for me, and the regular price for each bottle is $59.99, but you can subscribe and get it for just $39.99, which is a great deal.
But I’d recommend stocking up as they can run out of stock for months because they manufacture in small batches.
Adding Indulgence into my diet has helped me with my skin issues, my hair is growing stronger, and my joints are not aching (if you work at your desk for several hours a day, you know how important that is!)*
It’s not cheap, but it’s way cheaper than all the crazy creams and medical procedures! Plus with the subscription option, it’s less than $2 per serving. You can’t even get a sugary hot chocolate at Starbucks for that price!
But don’t just take it from me – you should also check out all the reviews they have on their site and on amazon.
I can’t stomach any other chocolate protein powders. Ever since I started using Indulgence, I realized how bad the whey protein powders were making me feel.
As a busy working mom of three small kids, I need shakes in my world to keep going and stay healthy.
Although I’ve never been a big chocolate person, CoBionic has changed all of that for me. I’ve lost count on how many bottles we have gone through in our house.
I’ve had to get more recently because with my husband’s body building routine, it is difficult to find quality protein supplements. So guess who’s bottle he takes? MY Indulgence!
The boys also ask for it for their shakes so it looks like I’m going to have to up my shipment next time!
What types of collagen are used in Indulgence?
Each serving of CoBionic Indulgence contains 9 grams of grass-fed collagen (types I and III).
Does Indulgence contain dairy?
Nope, Indulgence Chocolate Collagen uses powdered coconut milk to give it that creamy flavor so it’s completely dairy-free. Indulgence is also gluten-free, soy-free, paleo and keto friendly, and doesn’t contain any added fillers or artificial colors.
How many servings in a bottle?
CoBionic lists 20 servings (scoops) of Indulgence per bottle, but it really depends on your preference. Some people take just 1/2 a scoop per day, while others prefer 2 scoops per day.
How do I store Indulgence?
Close the lid tightly, and keep the container in a cool and dry place. You don’t need to refrigerate it.
