Sappe Beauti Drink Review

Time to revisit an old beauty treat!

I've blogged about Sappe Beauti Drinks way back in 2016. It has disappeared from the market for a few years, and had a relaunch around November 2019. I wouldn't have known if it weren't for the poster on 7-Eleven's door I saw one fateful morning while I was waiting for M to pick me up.

I first bought the green bottle (fiber variant), and my, have the prices gone up! From P35/bottle, they're now priced at P65/bottle. I would go to 7-Eleven every few days just to buy this, until I decided to buy in bulk online.


We currently have 3 variants of Beauti Drink in the Philippines: Relaxing Calm, Collaskin, and S-Lim.


These are marketed as low calorie drinks, but let's dig deeper in a bit.


Relaxing Calm (with 35 calories and 13g sugar). Upon checking the ingredients list of this variant, water and juice make up 96.5% of the formula. Of course, there are calming extracts of chamomile (20mg), lemon balm (20mg), L-theanine (10mg), and lavender (5mg). The flavor is a mix of white grape, peach, and lychee. For me, this is the best tasting variant of Beauti Drink. It's surprisingly not too sweet. This drink was effective the first few times I drank it. I usually have bad sleep, but when I drank this, I was asleep before 11 PM! The more I drank it, I think my body became used to it and it ceased to knock me out.


Collaskin (with 40 calories and 12g sugar). I was looking forward to try this variant because it had 2,000 mg of collagen! This variant has other skin-friendly ingredients, but in very minimal amounts: Vitamin C (40mg), Zinc Citrate (5mg), Vitamin E (3mg), Snow Mushroom Extract (5mg). It's a mix of white grape and apple flavors, but I hardly taste the apple flavor. Upon drinking this variant, I unfortunately had an upset stomach (gas and diarrhea) with this. It also seemed to taste sweeter compared to the other variants, so I had a harder time finishing this. I will not repurchase.
 

S-Lim (with 60 calories and 12g sugar). This one is the most effective variant, and I find taking this very helpful when I'm constipated. It contains 8,000mg or 8g fiber. It also has slimming ingredients in minimal quantities: white kidney bean, L-Carnitine (20mg), cactus, capsicum, green coffee bean, garcinia, and kelp. I have no idea how the the other ingredients work, I'm only familiar L-Carnitine. This also had a pleasant white grape flavor.

I wanted to like these drinks, but I have an issue with the sugar alcohol they used. These drinks declared having low calories with "no sugar mixed" on the front label, but do check the Nutrition Facts and see Sugars (3-5g) and Maltitol (8-9g). Maltitol still has glycemic index, though not as high as sugar, it still has an effect on blood sugar. It may also cause gas and diarrhea, depending on how much you take or how your body reacts to it. This explains why I had an upset stomach with the Collaskin variant.

In case the makers of Beauti Drink chance upon this blog post, I'm suggesting they use erythritol or stevia to make these drinks healthier, with no side effects.

Price: P65
Available at Lazada

Sappe Beauti Drink (Berry Bright & Fiber)

I love going to the supermarket because being surrounded by food thrills me. LOL I'd prefer hacer la compra (grocery shopping) over ir de compras (shopping for clothes, etc.) any day. How #tita of me! :D Today, I'll be sharing with you my favorite finds from my grocery trip just last Tuesday.
 

I think that the best recommendations sometimes come from casual conversations, and when I saw these Sappe Beauti Drinks on the shelves, I immediately had a flashback on my conversation with a former colleague. She told me that her boyfriend buys a green kikay drink from 7-Eleven whenever he's constipated. That green kikay drink she was referring to is none other than Sappe Beauti Drink! :D


Because it was on a buy 1 take 1 promo at Landmark Supermarket (Trinoma), I finally gave it a try. (I've always been curious but have just not gotten around buying it. Thank God for promos!) I bought 1 pair of the Berry Bright variant, and 2 pairs of the Fiber variant. When I finally tried it at home, I regretted my decision instantly - I should have bought MORE!

Sappe Beauti Drink (Berry Bright)
contains 100g Goji Berry Extract & Lutein 5%

I initially didn't plan on buying this flavor since it has an artificial red color and it looked very sweet. But Ate who was manning the shelves recommended this and said that it tasted good, so I gave it a try. True enough, it had a mildly sweet berry taste which I like! However, I know 1 bottle is enough to improve my eyesight. I need more!

Sappe Beauti Drink Citrus Flavored Drink
with Fiber 8,000mg and 86mg L-Carnitine

Between the 2 flavors I got, I liked this one better since it had an instant effect. Hint hint. It has a very light citrus taste and it's not too sweet. On most days, I'm constipated so this drink is heaven-sent for me. Did you know that this bottle has a fiber amount equivalent to 8 oranges or 2 pomelos? That's a lot! It's REALLY effective and works in just 1-2 hours. I don't know if this goes for everyone, but my tummy agrees with this one. (As for the L-Carnitine bit, I know that's only effective in conjunction with exercise.)
If you're a drinker of Oishi Fiber & Fruit and Del Monte Fit 'n Right, you might just consider making the switch to Sappe. (Guys, don't be intimidated by the floral prints. Haha)
  • 500ml bottle of Oishi Fiber & Fruit = 7,000mg fiber
  • 330ml bottle of Del Monte Fit 'n Right = 50mg L-Carnitine
  • 360ml bottle of Sappe Beauti Drink with Fiber = 8,000mg fiber + 86mg L-Carnitine

I'm so happy with my (not so new) discovery. :D I'll continue to repuchase the Fiber variant, but I want to try their 2 other variants as well: one with 1,000mg collagen and another one with 100mg glutathione. They were out of stock the day I shopped!

SRP: P35/bottle

Have you tried Sappe Beauti Drinks? :D
