A Dietitian’s Review of Love Wellness Best Sellers

Have you been seeing Love Wellness ads everywhere you turn lately? Maybe you started looking into them and noticed their stellar reviews…and now you’re wondering if they’re actually legit. 

As a registered dietitian, I’m going to break down what’s inside some of the more popular Love Wellness products and what the science says. Then I’ll provide you with my unbiased and honest Love Wellness review and whether I think any of these products are worth your time and money.

What is Love Wellness?

Love Wellness is a dietary supplement company based in the United States. It was founded in 2016 by Lo Bosworth. Does anyone else remember her from way back when she was on Laguna Beach?!

The company sells a variety of different supplements including vaginal suppositories, oral probiotics, multivitamins, debloating capsules and more. These dietary supplements and products are available online through the Love Wellness website, and in store at many major retailers such as Ulta, Target, and Walmart.

To stay within my scope of practice as a registered dietitian, this review is going to focus on the following Love Wellness products: 

• Good Girl Probiotics
• Bye Bye Bloat Debloating Capsules
• Hello Burn Balance

According to their website, Love Wellness “used emerging microbiome research to pioneer a new approach to women’s wellness. Backed by expert guidance and superior ingredients, our breakthrough formulas were the first to support the powerful gut, vaginal, and hormonal connection in women’s bodies.” 

Let’s dive into what these specific Love Wellness products are and what they claim to do, starting with the Good Girl Probiotic. 

Love Wellness: Good Girl Probiotics Review

The first product by Love Wellness I’ll dive into is their best seller: Good Girl Probiotics. This is a 1-capsule vaginal probiotic that you take daily. Love Wellness claims that Good Girl Probiotics is a “clinically studied women’s probiotic designed to support vaginal health, maintain fresh odor, and promote urinary tract wellness.”

According to the website, Good Girl Probiotics:

• Supports a fresh, balanced vaginal odor so you can feel confident every day.
• Helps maintain healthy vaginal pH and a thriving microbiome with 9 clinically studied strains of good bacteria, including DE111 for targeted delivery.
• Promotes urinary tract wellness as part of your daily feminine health routine.
• Backed by the gut-vagina connection, supporting healthy levels of vaginal bacteria and yeast through a holistic, microbiome-first approach.
• Developed with OB/GYNs, designed specifically for vaginal and urinary tract health—unlike generic probiotics.

Let’s talk about what’s in Good Girl Probiotics though and if it could actually help vaginal health.

Ingredients in Good Girl Probiotics

Inside 1 capsule of Good Girl Probiotics, you’ll find a probiotic blend of different types of bacteria strains for a combined total of 1 billion CFUs (or colony forming units). 

The probiotic strains that are in this probiotic supplement are: 

Other notable ingredients include inulin, which is a prebiotic fiber. Think of prebiotics as the food source that probiotics eat and thrive with. 

The vaginal microbiome is the community of bacteria that live in the vagina and help keep it clean, balanced, and protected from infections. It also keeps the area slightly acidic to stop harmful germs from growing. 

In healthy women, up to about 95% of the good bacteria in your vagina are Lactobacillus, so I really wasn’t surprised to see that Good Girl Probiotics contains mostly Lactobacillus probiotics (1, 2). 

Research shows that several Lactobacillus strains (such as L. acidophilus, L. rhamnosus, and L. gasseri) produce hydrogen peroxide which can normalize vaginal pH and support a more favorable vaginal microbiome. This can help prevent and alleviate bacterial vaginosis and/or yeast infections, which can contribute to vaginal odor (3, 4). 

Good Girl Probiotics also includes Bacillus subtilis DE111. While this particular bacteria can improve the gut microbiome, I wasn’t able to find any specific research linking it to improved vaginal health. While your vaginal microbiome can be supported by a healthy gut microbiome, I’m not sure I’d say that this particular probiotic strain directly impacts vaginal health.

Do Good Girl Probiotics Actually Work? 

In a nutshell, yes. It contains a variety of Lactobacillus probiotics that are research-backed ingredients that can support your gut microbiome and promote a healthy vaginal pH. 

The next question though: is this the best choice if you need to improve your vaginal health? Good Girl Probiotics contains a pretty weak dose so to speak. It contains 1 billion CFUs, which is a relatively low amount of probiotics compared to other products available. 

For context, when I’m recommending a probiotic, I generally look for a higher amount of CFUs per serving (typically at least 10 billion CFUs or higher to start). Of course, everyone is different so maybe 1 billion CFUs would be sufficient for some people. 

The price for Good Girl Probiotics is $24.99 for a 30 day supply, or $19.99 if you set up a subscription. The more you order, the lower the price per unit becomes.  

Alternatives for Good Girl Probiotics 

The bottom line is that Lactobacillus probiotic strains are important and Good Girl Probiotics contain a wide variety of different Lactobacillus strains, but at a pretty low amount. You can likely get more bang for your buck with other products that are comparable if you’re looking to save. Here’s a few options.

• This Garden of Life Probiotic: this probiotic contains 50 billion CFUs total, including 40 billion Lactobacillus CFUs. That’s a significantly more potent amount than the Good Girls Probiotics. The price is slightly higher, but when you consider the significant dose increase, it’s actually more affordable in the long run. You could even consider taking this every other day and you’d still be getting more probiotics for a lower overall price.  

• This Renew Life Probiotic: this probiotic contains 15 billion CFUs, including 8 billion Lactobacillus CFUs, for the same price as Good Girl Probiotics. 

• FemFlora Probiotic: this extremely affordable probiotic option provides a wide range of Lactobacillus strains for a total of almost 10 billion CFUs. 

Love Wellness Bye Bye Bloat Review

In this section, I’ll focus on another one of Love Wellness’ best sellers: Bye Bye Bloat. Bye Bye Bloat is a “debloating” supplement. This supplement is designed to be taken more on an as-needed basis. 

According to the website, Bye Bye Bloat:

• Gently alleviates hormonal and food-related bloating from botanicals like organic fenugreek, organic fennel, and organic ginger.
• Clinically studied formula is fast-acting to provide quick relief, and participants report their clothes feel less tight after eating.
• Promotes healthy digestion with 6 critical digestive enzymes that support digestion of gluten and dairy.
• Helps normalize PMS-related digestive and water weight symptoms.

Love Wellness also claims that 7 out of 10 people reported that Bye Bye Bloat provided fast relief, that their clothes felt less tight after eating, and their stomach felt more comfortable. This was based on a study of 30 women who took at least 2 capsules 3 days per week for 4 weeks.

Let’s talk about what’s in Bye Bye Bloat though and if it could actually help with debloating. 

Ingredients in Bye Bye Bloat 

It’s advised to take 1 or 2 capsules after a meal or before bedtime. It’s not recommended to take more than 4 capsules per day. 

Inside a 2 capsule serving of Bye Bye Bloat, you’ll find 700mg of the Bye Bye Bloat blend, which is a proprietary blend that includes:

• Fenugreek Seed: commonly used to improve PMS symptoms and may increase milk supply for those who are breastfeeding (5, 6) 

• Dandelion Root: aids in digestion by stimulating bile production and digestive enzyme production. May also reduce bloating since it has mild diuretic effects

• Fennel Seed: commonly used to reduce bloating and gas. Also may be used as a mild natural diuretic and to improve PMS symptoms (7)

• Ginger Root: commonly used to soothe upset stomach and nausea. Can also improve PMS symptoms (8, 9)

• Parsley Leaf: commonly used for its mild gas-relieving properties and mild diuretic properties

• Amylase, Protease, Pepsin, and Lipase: these are naturally occurring digestive enzymes that are produced by the body to break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in our food. These are commonly found in digestive enzyme supplements.

• Bromelain: an enzyme that’s naturally found in pineapple and often used to help break down proteins.

• Papain: an enzyme naturally found in papaya, it’s often used to break down proteins.

Does Bye Bye Bloat Actually Work?

Bye Bye Bloat is essentially a mix of different herbal ingredients and digestive enzymes. All of these ingredients do have at least some research behind them to support their use in this supplement. 

Here’s the kicker though. All of these ingredients are included in a proprietary blend. A proprietary blend is kind of like a secret recipe that tells you the ingredients but doesn’t actually tell you how much of each ingredient is in there. 

When it comes to supplements, proprietary blends can be a problem because you want to be sure you’re getting the right dose of each ingredient to actually benefit — not just a tiny sprinkle that won’t do much. 

I’m inclined to believe that very few (if any) of the ingredients in this supplement are actually provided at a therapeutic dosage. For example, some research studies have found these various amounts to be beneficial for different ailments that Bye Bye Bloat claims to improve: 900mg fenugreek, 2000mg fennel seed, 1200-1500 mg ginger, etc. The entire proprietary blend in Bye Bye Bloat is 700mg, which is less than any of these therapeutic amounts listed. That said, maybe tiny amounts of all of these ingredients could symbiotically work together to provide benefits? 

This supplement also says it supports gluten and dairy digestion, but when you look closer, it’s mostly standard digestive enzymes. While these are helpful for overall digestion, they’re not the specialized support some people with real sensitivities may be expecting or needing.

Will Bye Bye Bloat Help Me?

Maybe? Maybe not. I think it probably depends on why you’re experiencing bloating to begin with. Bloating can occur for a variety of reasons such as water retention that occurs with PMS and your menstrual cycle. It can also be caused by the occasional meal that just doesn’t really agree with you. 

In these occasional situations, maybe Bye Bye Bloat may be a good option. The problem though is all of the ingredients are in a proprietary blend. So we still don’t know if there’s enough of any particular ingredient to actually benefit you.

Bloating could also happen because of a deeper rooted issue though. Food sensitivities, allergies, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), Celiac disease, gut dysbiosis, or gastroparesis are very common reasons that someone may be experiencing regular bloating. 

If your bloating is more routine and caused by an underlying medical condition, using a dietary supplement like this is a temporary band-aid fix that may or may not even help your symptoms. In a worst case scenario, it could even make your symptoms worse! For example, if you have IBS and are sensitive to FODMAPs, this supplement can make your symptoms worse since dandelion can be high FODMAP. 

Ultimately, if you’re someone who experiences significant bloating routinely, I’d skip this supplement and seek medical care to ensure that there isn’t an underlying medical concern at the root of it.

Love Wellness: Hello Burn Balance Review

In this section, I’ll focus on one of Love Wellness’ newer products: Hello Burn Balance. This supplement is intended to support thyroid function, a healthy metabolism and encourage healthy eating patterns. 

According to the website, Hello Burn Balance:

• Designed to support your body’s natural rhythms—helping you feel more balanced in your food choices, energy, and overall well-being.
• Supports healthy metabolic function, which influences energy levels and satiety signals—key factors in eating patterns and food decisions.
• Includes selenium and chromium to support thyroid health, which helps regulate metabolism and energy balance.
• Helps maintain healthy hormone levels, including cortisol, to support your body’s natural stress response and internal balance.

Ingredients in Hello Burn Balance

In a 2 capsules serving of Hello Burn Balance, you’ll find:

• Selenium: 55 mcg 
• Chromium: 35mcg
• Hello Burn Blend 1250mg: L-carnitine tartrate, organic green tea leaf powder 

Let’s talk about each of these ingredients individually.

Selenium

Hello Burn Balance contains 55 mcg of selenium, which is the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adult men and women. This means it provides 100% of your daily selenium needs. Hello Burn Balance claims that selenium “supports healthy thyroid function and hormone balance”.

Selenium is a trace mineral found naturally in foods like Brazil nuts, red meat, poultry, seafood, oats, cottage cheese, mushrooms, eggs, and beans. It functions as an antioxidant and is crucial for thyroid health, particularly for the conversion of T4 to active T3 thyroid hormones. It has also been studied for its ability to reduce thyroid antibodies in autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

However, most clinical studies that have shown a benefit for thyroid antibodies and improved thyroid markers used higher selenium doses closer to 200 mcg per day, which is nearly four times the amount in this supplement. That doesn’t mean 55 mcg is ineffective, but it’s important to note that this amount is commonly found in multivitamins, and may not provide a therapeutic effect on its own.

Something that’s also worth mentioning: more isn’t necessarily better when it comes to selenium. Most healthy individuals already get enough from food alone. When you pair dietary intake with dietary supplements that contain selenium, such as Hello Burn Balance and/or multivitamins, you can quickly exceed the upper limit of 400 mcg of selenium per day. Too much selenium can cause GI issues, hair loss, brittle nails, fatigue, garlic breath, and more (10).

Chromium

Hello Burn Balance also contains 35 mcg of chromium, which provides more than the established Adequate Intakes for adult women. Adequate Intakes for chromium for adult women under 50 years old is 25 mcg, and 20 mcg for those over age 50, respectively. There hasn’t been an Upper Limit established for chromium so higher doses are believed to be safe for most healthy adults. 

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that is naturally present in several foods such as grape juice, ham, and whole grains. Chromium appears to play a role in glucose metabolism, insulin activity, and may act as an antioxidant.

Hello Burn Balance claims that chromium “helps maintain blood sugar balance”, which does seem to be accurate. Chromium supplementation has been shown to help improve insulin sensitivity, inflammation, cholesterol levels, and even testosterone levels in those with PCOS. Chromium may also assist in weight loss too. 

It’s worth noting though that these research studies typically used anywhere from 200 to 1000 mcg of chromium supplementation daily. Which, similar to the selenium amount, is over five times the amount in Hello Burn Balance. Again, that doesn’t mean 35 mcg of chromium is ineffective, but it may not provide a significant effect if your goal is to improve your blood sugar response.

Hello Burn Blend

Finally, the Hello Burn Blend contains a proprietary blend of L-carnitine and organic green tea leaf powder. Hello Burn claims this ingredient “supports your metabolism and energy”. 

Both L-carnitine and green tea can help improve energy levels, but since they’re found in a proprietary blend, we have no idea how much is actually in here and whether it’s enough of either ingredient to make a significant difference. It’s worth noting that the green tea does contribute a negligible amount of caffeine (approximately 4.5mg caffeine). 

The Bottom Line: Does Hello Burn Balance Actually Work? 

Maybe? Maybe not. The ingredients in this supplement can support metabolism, blood sugar levels, and thyroid health. But in most cases, the research backing those benefits used significantly higher doses than what’s included here. While this formula might offer a gentle nudge in the right direction, it’s probably not a magic bullet, especially if you’re dealing with deeper issues like thyroid dysfunction or insulin resistance.

Pros of Love Wellness 

• Third Party Testing. The supplement industry is not regulated in the same way that the food industry is. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate or approve of any dietary supplements, their labeling, or health claims. It’s not uncommon to find supplements on the market that don’t actually have what they’re advertising inside their supplements. Thankfully, Love Wellness conducts third party testing on their products. 

• Evidence Based. While some supplements make outlandish claims in regards to what their supplements can do, the ingredients in Love Wellness products do appear to have clinical studies that back up its’ health claims…it’s just then a matter of whether there’s enough of those ingredients to actually deliver on the health claims. 

Cons of Love Wellness

• Possibly Inadequate Dosages. Given the use of proprietary blends in some of the products, we have no idea how much of each ingredient is actually in this supplement. For example, we know that many of the ingredients in these supplements can help with various symptoms, but are these ingredients included in amounts that can actually make a difference? That remains unknown. In some cases, such as Hello Burn Balance, the amount of different ingredients is far below what the research studies support.

• Cost. While the cost of these supplements individually is not incredibly expensive, they are expensive when you compare them to similar products that don’t contain proprietary blends or have therapeutic amounts of the same ingredients. 

My Honest Love Wellness Review: Is It Worth It?

Here are my honest thoughts on each of these three Love Wellness products. 

• Good Girl Probiotics: the ingredients in here can improve vaginal health, including vaginal pH and vaginal microbiome. If you’re seriously looking to improve your vaginal health, you may want to consider a vaginal probiotic that has more CFUs than Good Girl Probiotics though. You can typically find one that provides significantly more bang for your buck, such as this one or this one. 

• Bye Bye Bloat: if you have occasional bloating due to PMS or the occasional meal that doesn’t sit right with you, this might be a good option. If you’re having consistent episodes of bloating though, there’s likely another underlying issue that’s causing it such as constipation, IBS, SIBO, food allergies or sensitivities, or Celiac disease. If there is a more serious underlying issue, Bye Bye Bloat likely will not improve your symptoms and may even make them worse in some situations.

• Hello Burn Balance: this supplement provides mainly selenium and chromium, which may help support thyroid health and blood sugar levels. If you have thyroid disease or insulin resistance though, the amounts in here probably won’t make a significant difference for your health though. If you take a multivitamin, you’re likely already getting similar amounts of these nutrients from that.
