Consumers report health improvements with NobleNature’s expert formulations
A new supplement is gaining traction across the UK thanks to a formula that is capturing attention for its practical benefits.
Over 80,000 units of the supplement have been sold within a span of four to five months, with the company approaching a milestone of 100,000 total units sold since launch.
Its rise has been especially notable on TikTok Shop, where it became one of the top five best-selling health products in the UK. The success seems to stem from a mix of customer feedback, a focus on formulation quality, and a growing interest in more transparent wellness products.
Consumer response shows strong market acceptance
NobleNature’s Magnesium 5-in-1 has quickly established itself as a consumer favourite in the UK health and nutrition market.
The store maintains a 4.9-star rating on TikTok Shop, indicating high levels of customer satisfaction. This positive response has helped the British brand achieve a significant milestone, with rapid sales growth demonstrating strong consumer demand and repeat purchases.
A PhD pharmacologist with 25 years of experience and a certified nutritionist have been involved in the overall formulation process.
The formula features magnesium bisglycinate, malate, citrate, oxide and vitamin B6. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, supports normal energy-yielding metabolism, and helps maintain normal electrolyte balance. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth and bones, as well as normal muscle function.
Vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and supports normal energy-yielding metabolism too. It also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, and normal protein and glycogen metabolism.
The company also ensures that each batch comes with both a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Certificate of Conformity (COC), showing the ingredients match with the label.
Market performance indicates consumer satisfaction
Industry data from SPINS shows that magnesium supplements are experiencing remarkable growth across multiple categories, with double-digit sales increases in mainstream and natural channels. This broader trend explains NobleNature’s instant success in the magnesium supplement market.
The consumer response to NobleNature’s Magnesium 5-in-1 has translated into impressive business growth. The company reports an annual revenue of £1.3 million, with a notable 600 percent increase compared to the previous year.
This exceptional rate suggests substantial market validation and user adoption, as the company continues to expand its customer base across the UK through Amazon, TikTok Shop, and their direct-to-consumer website.
NobleNature states that the brand’s achievement lies in its UK-formulated products, which do not use generic white-label suppliers. These decisions, it says, are designed to maintain control over the supply chain and improve consumer trust.
Why consumers want more
NobleNature emphasises traceability, specialised formulation, and batch testing for a more methodical and quality-driven strategy than most of its competitors.
The company appears to be meeting that demand and positioning itself as one of the rare supplement brands building its reputation on more than marketing alone.
NobleNature’s product reception and strong sales indicate a growing need for supplement brands that prioritise transparency and consistency.
It has quickly become a trusted name, delivering nutritional benefits by combining expert-led development with consumer needs that fit seamlessly into every lifestyle.

Hurry! The £4.50 Lip Mask to rival Laneige that beauty buffs are going crazy for is back!

The ever changing weather has wreaked havoc with my lips, as I am suffering with sore chapped lips on a regular basis – no thanks to the office air-con either.
Having tried numerous lip balms, glosses and scrubs, there is one lipcare item high on my radar after causing a storm on social media – Boots Berry Lip Mask.
The Berry Lip Mask retails for a purse-friendly £4.50, but the price is not the only reason it has been popular. While it promises to nourish and rehydrate dry and cracked lips, shoppers have also drawn comparison to Laneige’s bestselling Lip Sleeping Mask that costs £21.
Boots Berry Lip Mask
The Boots Berry Lip Mask 20g offers deep hydration thanks to the nourishing blend of coconut oil and shea butter.Not only does it hydrate the skin, but it soothes too. Apply at night and slip in the product and wake up to luscious lips in the morning.
Boots Berry Lip Mask has been formulated with ultra hydrating ingredients, including coconut oil and shea butter, which not only hydrate dry lips, but soothe any cuts and cracks too.
This lip product is also similar to Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask not only because of their functions, but the accessories that accompany the purchase. Both lip masks come with a dinky applicator to help apply directly to your lips, and keep the product clean from dirty fingers, which can be a breeding ground for germs you then apply to your mouth.
Similar to Laneige’s hero lip product, the Boots’ Berry Lip Mask works like a face mask in a sense it is to be applied at night, left to work its magic overnight and leave your lips silky smooth and nourished in the morning.
Of course you can apply in the daytime too for an extra boost of hydration, especially for those with dry lips. I also wear mine over a lip liner when I want to achieve a no make-up make-up look as the formula is longlasting.
While it is berry scented, and looks like a soft blush pink, the formula is actually clear when it is applied to the lips.
Boots has scored five star ratings for this affordable make-up and skincare hybrid.
One happy shopper gushed: ‘It is great. Nourishing, softening, soothing great overnight mask at amazing price.’
A separate customer added: ‘Brought this Sleep Lip Mask though I didn’t have high hopes, but I’ve loved it. I thought I’d give it a go as the price tag looked good, my lips are super soft and hydrated. I found it was better than the Laneige Lip Mask – definitely buy it again.’
A third praised: ‘This lip balm is actually better than the Laneige one! It smells like bubblegum, but not overpowering. I use it in the morning and night, and it keeps my lips moisturised all day/night without any need to top up in between. Lips feel soft and hydrated in the morning, it’s not greasy or very sticky on the lips either. Comes with a cute spatula too. Definitely get this, you won’t regret it for £4.50!’
The Boots Berry Lip Mask is under £5, which is already a bargain buy and is a huge saving in comparison to the premium Laneige creation. But, what if we told you you could save more?
Boots currently has an offer on this product, which allows shoppers to buy one lipcare item and get the second half price – so two Lip Masks for £6.75 instead of £9, yes please!

On your marks, set, go. On Sunday, April 27, more than 56,000 runners are expected to cross the finish line of the world-famous London Marathon.
But before you lace up your trainers for the big day, there’ll no doubt be hours’ worth of planning dedicated to when you’ll be fuelling yourself, where you’ll be meeting friends and family, and what you’ll be eating afterwards.
And while you’ll likely be buoyed by your sense of achievement once you’ve crossed the finish line, it’s also worth seeking out a freebie or two. Come on, you’ve earned it.
Luckily, countless brands will be coming through for London Marathon runners this weekend – and there’s everything from bath bombs to pasta and even free transport on offer.
Pasta for carb loading at Pastaio Soho
Carb loading is always essential the night before a race, and runners of the London Marathon are being offered free pasta at one iconic spot in Soho to help them prepare for those 26.2 miles.
On Saturday, April 26, Puresport will be giving 50 Marathon runners at Pastaio Soho a carby meal completely free of charge. That’s right: it won’t cost you a penne.
You’ll just need to turn up between 3.35pm and 5.45pm for an early dinner – but be sure to sign up via Puresport’s Instagram page first to secure your place.
Pizza at Franco Manca
Pizza chain Franco Manca has got all bases covered for those running the London, Leeds and Exeter Marathons (the latter two are taking place on May 11).
Simply show your 2025 finisher medal and you’ll be gifted with a gorgeous sourdough pizza, completely free.
You needn’t claim it on the day either, as it’s also valid on Monday, April 27. There’s no comfort quite like carbs, right?

Bubbly goodness at Lush
It’s not just free food on the cards.
Lush is fully embracing World Bath Bomb Day (which falls on the same day as the London Marathon), as it’ll be giving runners two products to get lathered up with after those 26.2 miles.
The Cold Water Soother Epsom salt cube and the After magnesium solid massage oil bar will be on offer for medal-holders across Lush’s stores in Covent Garden, Paddington, Waterloo, and Victoria.
3 ways to stay motivated during the London Marathon
Remember your ‘why’
Christian Allen is the product expert at Runners Need. He previously told Metro that while race day can be ’emotional’, runners still need to stay focused – and many of them raise money for charity during training, which can be a great motivator.
He said: ‘If there comes a point in the race when you’re struggling to continue, my number one tip is to try to remember why you signed up to take part in the first place.
‘Are you raising money for charity? Or perhaps you wanted to improve your fitness levels and see what your body is capable of?’
Enjoy the atmosphere
The London marathon course is lined with people cheering, singing and performing – soaking it all in will keep you going.
Christian said: ‘Big race events can sometimes feel like a mini festival or event. Often there are musicians and drummers around the course, not to mention swarms of supporters.’
Write your name on your running top
Christian said: ‘Nothing gives you a motivational boost like hearing strangers in the crowd cheering you on during the race.’
You can use cheap iron-on transfers or use a good old black felt-tip pen to make sure people know who you are.
You’ll have a few days to claim your soapy goods too, as the offer will be in place between Sunday, April 27 and Wednesday, April 30.
Free TfL travel
To get around London for free on the bus, underground, overground or DLR on race day, show your bib, medal, or officials pass to a member of TfL staff.
After all, you won’t want to do any more steps once you’ve crossed that finish line.
The service will run until 6.30pm on Sunday throughout the capital.
A burger and a drink at Bill’s
Did you know that a low-alcoholic beer is actually a very good way to replenish your salts after a long run?
This Marathon weekend, Bill’s is partnering with Coke, Peroni, Lucky Saint and Aperol Spritz to gift both a free burger and a drink to those who’ve crossed the finish line.
Simply show your medal (or your volunteer pass) at Bill’s in London Bridge, Covent Garden, Greenwich, Kingston, Richmond, Wimbledon, Baker Street, Victoria, or Soho.
Recovery yoga with Live Yoga Teacher
After pushing your body that hard, a gentle three-day yoga course is exactly what you need.
Live Yoga Teacher will be offering three livestream recovery yoga classes. Yoga Teacher for Runners, Yanar Alkayat, has run six marathons herself – and will be hosting sessions on April 28, April 29, and April 30.
To claim your spot, fill in the form on the website and provide a snap of you either at the finish line or your Jersey number.
A swim at Brockwell Lido or Park Road Leisure
The last thing you might want to do after completing 26.2 miles is to think about moving your body even more – but a swim can do absolute bits for your recovery, particularly muscle soreness.
With this ethos in mind, Fusion Lifestyle is offering London Marathon runners a free swim at either Brockwell Lido (in Brixton) or Park Road Leisure (in Crouch End).
All you’ll need to do is show your race confirmation information – and if you fancy it, you can claim a pre-marathon swim instead, as the offer is running from now until Sunday, May 4.
If you’re lucky enough to be a South Londoner, you’ll also be granted access to the brand-new outdoor saunas, too.

SHOPPING – Contains affiliated content. Products featured in this Metro article are selected by our shopping writers. If you make a purchase using links on this page, Metro.co.uk will earn an affiliate commission. Click here for more information.
I am a jewellery fan, and have been for many decades. In fact, I’d go as far as to say I don’t think my outfit is complete without jewellery.
So, for like-minded jewellery aficionados, or those looking to create a jewellery collection of their own, will be pleased to hear Mejuri is set to launch a huge sale.
Mejuri is set to launch The Stacking Event, which will see select items reduced by up to 20% off in its limited-time sale.
Mejuri’s Stacking Event will run from 22nd to 27th April, and requires shoppers to spend a minimum of £100 to be eligible for up to 20% off sitewide.
The five-day sale encompasses a whole host of jewellery items, much to our delight. But you will have to be quick as the celebrity loved brand, which Sydney Sweeney, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and Olivia Wilde have adorned, is bound to see stock fly off the shelves.
The fine jewellery brand, which was founded in 2015, covers all bases; from 14k yellow gold to sterling silver accessories, dazzling diamond jewellery, as well as lab grown pieces, among other pieces of arm candy. The sale will include hand-crafted pieces you can wear on their own, or stack with other Mejuri favourites, from earrings, rings, to necklaces, bracelets, and everything in between.
The Stacking Event is available to shop online, as well as on the Mejuri app. The best part is no discount code is needed, all you have to do is simply shop over £100 to see your basket drop in price by 20%, which makes for super easy shopping.
Whether you are shopping for yourself, a friend, relative, or partner, for a special occasion, or purely to shower them with love, there is no time like the present.
With plenty of pieces to shop, we have whittled down our personal favourites, as well as the bestselling items to help you on your accessories hunt.
Shop Our Top Picks In Mejuri Sale
Droplet Stud
If you have a single stud earring, or a full curated ear, this Droplet Stud needs to be worn on rotation. The single stud, features a subtle drop down stud earring, which is a welcome alternative to a hoop or long length drop down earring. Wear in your lobe, or even your helix if you have numerous piercings. Plus, you can opt for a lab grown diamond or natural diamond, perfect for the eco-conscious shopper.
Charlotte Bold Ring
Mejuri told us Sydney Sweeney and Selena Gomez have both been spotted wearing the Charlotte Ring, which is the middle option between this Charlotte Bold Ring and Charlotte Slim. However, the Charlotte Ring comes with a hefty £698. So, for those looking for something even more affordable in the Mejuri sale, or a chunky design, the Charlotte Bold Ring gets our vote.
Thin Dôme Ring
The Thin Dôme Ring is a bestselling design at Mejuri, and is now back in stock – though it’s selling out fast. So, if you are looking to shop this favourite piece, the sale is the prime time to do so. Available in sterling silver, 18k gold vermeil, 14k yellow gold and 14k white gold, to suit your budget and style preferences. Wear on its own or stack with other rings (from Mejuri, of course).
Stevie Hoops
The Stevie Hoops are another bestselling piece of jewellery at Mejuri, and a staple we rely on daily. What we love about this design is how versatile it is; wear the square-shaped hoop on its own, attach the square drop down hoop, or invest in an attachable drop doop in another colourway to inject some colour and character into your look.
Pavé Diamond Huggie Hoops
If you are a stickler for subtle jewellery, and elegance, the Pavé Diamond Huggie Hoops are a must. Wear on its own in the lobes, or second or third hole as part of the curated ear. Available in 14K yellow gold or 14k white gold, and fitted with natural diamonds to add sparkle to your ear.
Spheres Chain Bracelet
While we love stacking rings and earrings, we also love layering our bracelets, and this is the perfect staple to do so. The delicate chain bracelet features hollowed 14k gold spheres to make it stand out. It features an adjustable length chain to fit all wrists. Available in 14k yellow gold as well as sterling silver, though it also comes in coloured iterations to add a pop of colour to your arm candy.
Bold Letter Pendant Necklace
Sex and The City made the name necklace a go-to accessory for many, but if you are looking for a twist on the necklace then an initial necklace is the way to go. It just so happens the Bold Letter Pendant Necklace is one of Mejuri’s bestselling items too. The chain length spans from 20 to 22 inches, so it sits beautifully on the chest, and comes in every letter of the alphabet.
Lab Grown Sapphire Tennis Bracelet
Tennis bracelets have had a huge resurgence in recent years as a standout piece of jewellery, so it’s prime time to shop the dazzling accessory in Mejuri’s sale. Crafted from lab grown white sapphire gems, which are fitted into an 18k gold vermeil or sterling silver. Though we would save this Tennis Bracelet for special occasions, and think it’s worthy of its own space on your wrist.
