Specifically over the past year, Bloom products have grown tremendously in popularity, including the fan-favorite Greens & Superfoods, which has become the #1 Greens in the U.S. for its delicious taste and daily gut health support.
In an effort to make products more accessible nationwide, Bloom expanded their retail presence to include Walmart, Sam’s Club, GNC, Sprouts, and more, reinforcing their mission to help everyone bloom into their best selves. In late 2022, Bloom launched in Target stores nationwide, and has maintained being the #1 supplement in the Nutrition and Vitamins category since launch.

Bloom more recently ventured into the ready-to-drink category, revolutionizing energy drinks with better-for-you ingredients. Similar to Greens, Bloom’s Sparkling Energy Drinks are meticulously crafted for the wellness-minded consumer, aiming to elevate the experience of traditional energy drinks. This expansion into energy drinks bolsters Bloom's commitment to delivering flavor-forward, benefit-driven wellness solutions.
