6 warnings I'd give any woman before she tries Superbalance
Summary: Every video about it seems to open with a warning, usually some version of "don't drink this if you're not married." It's a joke, mostly. But there's a real ingredient behind each one, and I'd rather a friend heard the honest version. Here are the six warnings I'd actually give.
Here's all 6 👇
1. Don't drink it if you're not married
That's the line everyone uses, and it's how I first heard about Superbalance. It's played for laughs. It also points straight at the one ingredient most of these videos are really talking about, which is where the actual story starts.
2. Don't expect it to work in a week
The ingredient behind the joke is shatavari, a root used in Ayurvedic practice for women for centuries. SRI-81, a standardized extract, was studied at 300mg for eight weeks against placebo: overall sexual function and satisfaction scores rose 34.2% from baseline, and sexually related distress fell. Eight weeks. Not one.
Ademola et al., 2026. Clinical research relates to the SRI-81 shatavari extract at 300mg, not to Nello or to this product.
3. Don't drink it if you're attached to your 3pm sugar run
The second ingredient is myo-inositol, 2,000mg a packet, studied for its role in insulin sensitivity and hormonal and cycle health. That blood-sugar link is why women bring it up when they talk about afternoon cravings. Whether it changes your 3pm is yours to judge; the research is about the hormones underneath it.
Myo-inositol: Genazzani et al., 2008 (2g daily, 12 weeks). Research relates to the ingredient, not to Nello or to this product.
4. Don't drink it if you enjoy being snappy
Rhodiola rosea, 200mg, standardised to 3% rosavins and 1% salidrosides. It's an adaptogen, a plant traditionally used for stress, and it's in here for the days that feel shorter-fused than they should.
5. Don't drink it if you hate pink drinks
It comes in Strawberry Lemonade, Cran Apple and Blueberry Acai: one packet stirred into water, zero sugar, about 20 calories, sweetened with monk fruit. Most of the people warning you off it are holding a glass of it.
6. Don't buy one that won't tell you the doses
If a hormone drink lists these ingredients but not the amounts, you can't check it against anything. Superbalance prints every dose: SRI-81 shatavari 300mg — the same as the research — myo-inositol 2,000mg and rhodiola rosea 200mg, plus magnesium malate, vitamin C and B6. It's third-party tested, too.
