Bulu Box is a monthly fitness and weight loss subscription. The original Bulu Box is focused more on fitness and general health supplements, and they also offer a Weight Loss box that focuses more on diet products.

Bulu Box seems to have stopped providing information cards listing the items in the box. IInstead, you get a generic card.  There was also some product literature for an item in the box.

bulu-box-march-2017-fizzies

Fizzilicious Calcium + Vitamins (sugar-free orange flavor, 12 tablets, 1.7 oz) – Value $3.46 (buy a 36-tablet pack for $10.39)

This is a vitamin supplement (no minerals except for calcium) marketed towards kids. It makes a fizzy drink when you drop a tablet in water. This did not have a strong “vitamin” smell or taste to me, which is great. It is also free of sugar, caffeine, artificial flavors, sweeteners, food dyes, etc. I don’t have kids and I kind of don’t like getting kids’ products but if your child doesn’t want to take other forms of vitamins, this might be worth looking into.

bulu-box-march-2017-probiotic

Dr. Drew Sinatra Wholebiotic Prebiotic/Probiotic/Postbiotic Supplement (30) – Value $29.99

This is the second month in a row I’ve gotten a full-sized probiotic supplement from Bulu Box. This is vegetarian but not vegan (I think the bacteria in the supplement are cultured in a dairy-containing medium). I have only taken a few of these – of course, it takes awhile to see if a probiotic is going to work, but I definitely appreciate getting enough to really try. “Prebiotic” refers to fiber and other substances that provide a healthy environment for gut bacteria, probiotics are the bacteria, of course, and “postbiotic” refers to compounds synthesized by gut bacteria.

bulu-box-march-2017-toothpaste

Sprinjene Fluoride Toothpaste in Fresh Boost Gel with Black Seed Oil (5 oz) – Value $4.99

Ordinarily, I would be pretty excited about getting a full-sized toothpaste, especially one with fluoride (fluoride is a must for me). However, this contains sodium lauryl sulfate, which is fine for like 95% of the population but gives ME canker sores. I have passed this off to my husband, who likes to change toothpaste brands regularly. I can only find information from the manufacturer on the benefits of black seed oil in toothpaste; WebMD is a bit more skeptical. But black seed oil may be a good antioxidant, so I suppose that is something.

bulu-box-march-2017-vitafive

Vitafive CoQ10 Gummies (2) – Value $1

VitaFive Calcium and D3 Gummies (2) – Value $1

VitaFive has their own subscription; see my reviews here. You can’t purchase the packs individually but a 4 week supply of a vitamin is $14 and each of these packets contains 2 days’ worth. Vitafive gummies are thickened with pectin, not gelatin, and they are quite open about their ingredients, so they are a good choice to consider if you have dietary restrictions (vegan/vegetarian, kosher, halal, etc.). Do keep in mind the gummies have calories (unlike vitamin tablets). Anyway, the flavor is not bad and they’re not too sticky. The calcium ones look that way because calcium is a bulky, white mineral (which was probably tricky to include in a gummy).

Verdict: I calculated a value of $40.44 for the March Bulu Box. That is quite good whether you are paying a promotional price (like I am) or full price for this subscription. This month was pretty vegetarian-friendly, which I appreciate, but in general, Bulu Box does not cater to specific dietary preferences, so do keep that in mind. This month was pretty heavy on the vitamins and supplements and is maybe not the most representative month for Bulu Box; sometimes you will get food products and occasionally beauty items as well.

I just signed up for this box on 3/17. Does anyone know if I will receive a March box or if I have to wait for the April box?

You have to wait for the April like me.

I received this same box but I have a weight loss subscription. It was much better than last month, although a supplement geared towards kids and toothpaste in a weight loss box are strange! I like Bulu because it is an absolute surprise. I have gotten the weirdest items from this box. This sub is very much a roller coaster but they offer a points system that is pretty good. I got a supply of Olly Vitamins as my add on for points from my reviews in January+February.

I got a very different box. I got the fizzies and vitamin packets but no toothpaste or probiotics. I got a foil packet of ointment and one of lotion, so huge difference in value. I think my fizzies were vitamin c and not calcium though. Kind of disappointed but will see what next month brings since usually it’s a better value.

My other Bulu Box this month sounds more like yours. I will try to get to the review soon but I am very busy today.

Fyi everyone, vitafive no longer carries the CoQ10. I tried to order it.

They seem to have different offerings for subscribers (based on what I could see when I logged in back when I was reviewing). You may want to contact them.
