Apollon Nutrition Drops “The Specialist” – A True All-in-One Wellness Powerhouse

Apollon The Specialist

 Apollon Nutrition is back with a supplement that aims to do it all. Enter The Specialist, the brand’s latest innovation designed as a complete wellness solution to support organ health, metabolic function, and overall protection. For fans of Apollon’s previous formulas, The Specialist blends many of the company’s proven ingredients into a single, high-potency powerhouse, potentially replacing multiple bottles on your shelf.

At its foundation, The Specialist delivers a robust micronutrient profile, including essential vitamins A, C, D3, E, K2, and a full B-complex. The active forms—methylcobalamin, P5P, and riboflavin-5-phosphate—ensure maximum absorption and utilization, giving your body the nutrients it actually needs.

Beyond the basics, the formula ramps up with high-impact functional ingredients. N-acetyl cysteine and organic red yeast rice (1.2g each) support metabolic and cardiovascular health, while a full gram of bergamot extract works alongside TUDCA and nicotinamide riboside to boost liver function, cholesterol balance, and cellular energy. These are dosages typically found in premium standalone products, making this combination particularly impressive.

Antioxidants and adaptogens round out the formula, with grape seed extract, reduced glutathione, and MicroActive CoQ10 helping maintain oxidative balance. Meanwhile, saw palmetto, astragalus, and panax notoginseng bring adaptogenic benefits to help the body handle stress, and AstraGin is included to enhance nutrient uptake across the board.

The Specialist comes in a full-size bottle of 300 capsules, delivering 30 servings of ten capsules each. With a retail price of $109.99, it’s a surprisingly good value given the inclusion of high-cost ingredients like TUDCA and nicotinamide riboside. For anyone looking to streamline their supplement regimen without sacrificing coverage, this could easily replace two or three separate wellness products.

Apollon Nutrition is launching The Specialist this Friday on its website, with availability through select distributors and retail partners shortly after. If you’ve been searching for a single supplement to cover your wellness bases, The Specialist might just be the ultimate solution.

Everyone's Going Crazy for Golden Berries But What Are They?

 

What Are Golden Berries or Gooseberries

So here at The Supp Plugg we typically try, review and write about Vitamins and Supplements as well as Energy Drinks and Functional Foods, but we rarely talk about actual food food. We all know that real whole foods is what we should be eating, and that supplements are intended to be just what the name implies, supplementation, so I wanted to occasionally talk about new and interesting fruits and vegetables that you may not have tried. On a recent shopping trip to Aldi, in the produce section I noticed these bright yellow/orange berries or tomatos I'd never seen before and they caught my eye. Upon taking a closer look I noticed they were called Golden Berries or Goose Berries and I immediately knew I had to try them. After having done a bit more reading up on them it seems that searches for Gooseberries or Golden Berries are surging and there's a lot of recent Youtube Videos and Blog Posts with people sharing their recently discovered Goldenberry treasures. 

Interest in Golden Berries aka Gooseberries

What Are Golden Berries?

Golden Berries are also known as Cape Gooseberries and they are a yellow or golden colored fruit that is closely related to Tomatillos. Having talked to some friends about these a lot of their responses were "But I don't like Tomatos", however even if your one of the many out there who doesn't like Tomatos Golden Berries are not like your typical tomato, while it does share a similar texture and appearance to a cherry tomato, it actually tastes more like a Tangerine or a Grapefruit than any tomato I've ever tried. 

Golden Berries are native to Peru and Chile, however today they are grown all across South and Central America as well as in South Africa and Australia, the Golden Berries I picked up from Aldi come from Columbia. 

While the Golden Berries you see pictured above in this article look like golden cherry tomatos, they actually come in a paper like shell or husk similar to that of a tomatillo and need to be picked out, the ones I purchased from Aldi however were already husked. 

Golden Berries are a healthy snack, they're packed with nutrients and per cup provide about 74 calories along with fiber, protein, and an assortment of vitamins and minerals, specifically high amounts of beta carotene and Vitamin K. In terms of health benefits they're high in antioxidants, have anti-inflammatory properties and help to boost bone health as well as better vision due to the beta carotene.

What Do Golden Berries Taste Like

So when I purchased my Golden Berries I had no idea what to expect, the packaging states that they are tangy, tropical and sweet, though due to the appearance I was expecting somewhat of a tomato taste. I was shocked when I bit into my first Golden Berry. The texture is similar to that of a cherry tomato, not a super juicy cherry tomato but more so a soft and fleshy one, something like a Midnight Snack Tomato if you're familiar with those. In terms of the taste the most overwhelming aspect of the flavor is that of a citrus fruit, personally I got a very strong tangerine flavor with a hint of grapefruit, and maybe just a very slight flavor of a green tomato, although that may have only been present in specific berries which hadn't 100% ripened. Golden Berries are both sweet, tart, and citrussy all at the same time, it's one of the more unique fruits I've ever tried and I'd urge people to give them a try, even if you're one of these people who claim to not like tomatoes, I think you'll be surprised by them. 

Where to Buy Golden Berries and How to Eat Golden Berries?

Okay so lastly where to buy them and how to eat them. If you want fresh Golden Berries it seems Aldi stores around the country have a good supply of them right now, short of Aldi I'm not sure where to get them as I've never seen them in grocery stores in the past. If you have a grocery store near you that's known for having a wide selection of good produce that may be worth checking as well. If you don't mind your Golden Berries being dried there's a lot of vendors selling dried Golden Berries on Amazon and you should be able to find a bag for around $15 bucks. 

In terms of how to eat Goldenberries it seems to make the most sense to eat them raw as a snack, though they would also make a great salad topping, you could blend them into a smoothie, and some people even bake with them or include them in jams.

If this post intrigues you to try Golden Berries take a drive over to your local Aldi and you'll likely find them in stock.

Solimo (Amazon's Brand) Fish Oil Supplement Review

Solimo Fish Oil Supplement Amazon's Own Brand Review


There's been a lot of interest in Solimo Amazon's own homegrown brand of supplements. I'll be honest, from branding and ecom experts I'd expect some better and flashier branding, Solimo kinda sounds like Solimo to me. Getting past that however there's been a ton of interest in the brand and it's well reviewed on Amazon so we thought we'd knock out a review of Amazon's Fish Oil Supplement.

For starters Solimo Fish Oil has 186 4.5 Star reviews which is pretty decent and many users seem to really like the product. You can't beat the price either at just over $9 for 90 gummies. Users seem to like the no fish oil burbs and a tasty gummy form as opposed to drinking fish oil or even taking the capsules.


As you can see a serving is 2 gummies and contains 35 calories, 7 grams of carbs, 303mg of fish oil made up of 67mg DHA, 13mg EPA, and 93mg Total Omega 3's.

After taking them for a week I will say I'm a fan. The sugar content in these vitamins is a little high, however it is a gummy vitamin essentially so not surprising there. They come in a variety of flavors, taste great, and give you a respectable amount of fish oil. Now they

Personally I'm going to stick with Carlson's, however for someone who may otherwise not take fish oil having to drink it or even take capsules, I think Solimo's Fish Oil gummies could be a solid alterantive.
