Free Health and Wellness Samples You Should Try

Health and wellness brands are some of the most generous with free samples, and for good reason. These products are personal — what works for one person may not work for another. Trying before buying saves money and helps you find products that genuinely improve your wellbeing.

Vitamins and Supplements

Ritual vitamins offers a trial period for their popular multivitamins. Their subscription model includes a money-back guarantee, so you can try a full month risk-free. Care/of provides personalized vitamin packs and frequently offers first-month deals. Nature Made sends samples of their latest formulations through their website and through in-store promotions at pharmacies.

Athletic Greens (AG1) offers trial packs through influencer partnerships — check social media for current codes. Garden of Life provides samples through natural food stores and health food co-ops. Centrum and One A Day both run sampling campaigns through drug stores and their websites.

Natural and Organic Skincare

Burt's Bees regularly sends sample kits of their lip balms, lotions, and face care products. Dr. Bronner's distributes sample sachets of their castile soaps through natural food stores. Weleda, Acure, and Alba Botanica all offer samples through their websites and health food retailer partnerships.

Korean skincare brands are particularly generous with samples. Purchase from sites like Soko Glam, YesStyle, or iHerb and you'll receive multiple free sheet masks, serums, and cream samples with your order. Even a small purchase often comes with ten or more sample packets.

Essential Oils and Aromatherapy

Plant Therapy offers sample sizes of their essential oils at very low cost, and they frequently run promotions for free sample sets. Rocky Mountain Oils provides sample vials through their website. Aura Cacia distributes samples through natural food stores. Eden's Garden offers starter sets at deep discounts that function like a sample program.

Be cautious of MLM essential oil companies that offer "free" samples contingent on attending a presentation or joining a distribution network. Legitimate samples come with no strings attached.

Fitness and Recovery Products

Protein powder and pre-workout supplement brands love sampling. Brands like Optimum Nutrition, Ghost, and Alani Nu all distribute single-serving sample packets through supplement stores like GNC and Vitamin Shoppe. Ask at the counter — they often have sample drawers not visible on the sales floor.

Recovery products like Epsom salt brands, muscle rub companies, and CBD topical brands all run sampling campaigns. Brands like Biofreeze, Tiger Balm, and Icy Hot send free samples through their websites. TheraGun and Hyperice occasionally offer free trial periods for their recovery app platforms.

Where to Find Health and Wellness Samples

Whole Foods, Sprouts, and natural food co-ops are the best in-store sources for health samples. Thrive Market includes free samples with online orders. iHerb adds samples to every purchase. Sign up for health and wellness brand newsletters — they announce sampling campaigns to their email lists first. Your doctor's office and pharmacy are also excellent sources for supplement and skincare samples from professional-grade brands.
