Unexpected subscription
I ordered the sample pack and the next thing I know they’re taking money from my account. It must be in the smallest of small print because I never sign up without trying the product. Really disappointed with how the company did this so back to orange county for me!

RIP off company
RIP off company! Took £24.99 from my account after I had cancelled, didn’t reply to any messages!!!!!
Update! after trying to bribe me for a 5 star review for my money back I’ve decided my stress isn’t worth the £24.99 they won’t return to me and as you can all imagine not very good consumer relations truly to bribe for positive reviews. I’ll leave this here.

I'm not a fan of mushrooms, but this doesn't have any lingering unpleasant taste at all, so it's just delicious each morning, complete with all the wonderful benefits of special mushrooms!

I've been using Variety Mode cocco…
I've been using Variety Mode cocco drink for around a week. The first time I ate the 3 free gummies while I was waiting for the kettle to boil I was bouncing off the walls after 45 minutes. Lesson learned I've continued to use the product as directed and I must say I feel rejuvenated after my magical morning potion. I seem to feel more 'In the moment', I have an interest in random things that I never noticed before and my mental clarity and recollections of memories long forgotten are testament to the power of the powder... 😁

Illegally gathered my details and sent me spam. Avoid their website at all costs. On top of this, they advertised a free sample but charged a few - again, in breech of UK law.
Edit 23rd April: despite my legal request for removal of data according to the Data Protection Act, the company ignored my request and has sent another unsolicited email asking me to remove this review.

I absolutely love this product
I absolutely love this product.
I have been taking this for maybe 9 months now and I can see a marked improvement in my moods and tiredness.
The guys at variety mode are lovely too and delat with my inquiries quickly and efficiently.
I highly recommend trying this.
I have both the gummies and the hot chocolate because sometimes I just don't want a hot drink but that's my preference. Either one works

Unauthorised charge after ordering a sample pack!
I ordered and paid for a sample pack only!
One week later enter me into a subscription which i did not authorise and you charge me.
The cancellation process does not work and gives errors every time.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR BANK DETAILS TO THIS COMPANY.
One star because although I received a satisfactory resolution to my issue upon reading Trust Pilot reviews it's apparent my issue is systemic with this company.
DO NOT GIVE YOUR BANK DETAILS TO THIS COMPANY they will use them to charge you for subscriptions you didn't ask for. It appears from the reviews that this has been happening for months!!! An email from the CEO is all well and good but he'd be better placed sorting this mess out.

Don’t even bother. You’ll get conned
Thought I was signing up for just a free trial only to have £25 taken from my account 7 days later and a shipment of this stuff sent without me knowing. I emailed to request a refund as I didn’t sign up for a subscription and was pointed to the extra small small print at the checkout which I obviously didn’t see.
I really wouldn’t have minded if this stuff actually worked but it doesn’t. Nothing has improved for me at all. To top it all off it tastes crap. Think of the worst hot chocolate you’ve ever had. It’s worse.
