Great product but expensive
I'd been following this product for a while on Instagram, hoping it could address some of the issues I'm facing that I suspect relate to fibre deficiency. A tasteless powder with 10g of fibre sounded like exactly what I needed, so I was super excited when it arrived at my door. My initial impression was that'll it isn't tasteless. It had a powdery after taste a bit like paracetamol. Over time I learned to leave it to dissolve for a few more minutes and dilute it with a bit more water than suggested. Having learned to do this I reached a point where it was 95% tasteless and super easy to consume. More importantly, over the next few days I began to see the effect of taking Loam on my digestion. It really made a huge difference. Anyway, here comes the BUT. The product is already fairly expensive but with shipping to the UK it becomes exorbitant. I thought this problem was pretty much solved when they announced free international shipping on the 3 month bundle, but this actually isn't quite what it seems. The problem is you do still pay some of the shipping costs (the taxes and duties), so it isn't actually strictly true to say the shipping is free. In fact, you pay more in shipping for the 'free shipping' bundle than you do for a smaller bundle. I raised this with support thinking it was a mistake, but they didn't take much interest. This all left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth (not from the Loam). I'd have liked to have stuck with Loam, but more recently I've come across a few competitors based in the UK offering more reasonable pricing. I'm going to figure out what works best for me and make a decision from there.
