Product Information

Probiotics: Many greens powder contain low levels of probiotics—about the amount you'd find in yogurt (though doses vary). While you may have heard that probiotics are beneficial, there are many different types of probiotics, and currently, no clear recommendations around which strains, strain combinations, or doses the general population may benefit from taking. "We do not have good evidence of any benefits of probiotic supplements for general health. Specific probiotic strains have been clinically shown to improve a small number of gastrointestinal conditions, but these are not the bacteria you would find in a powdered greens product," says Finkel. That said, probiotics can make some digestive conditions worse, so consult with your healthcare provider before taking a supplement that contains probiotics. Boon H, Clitheroe J, Forte T.

If you're looking for a product that masks that typical greens flavor, this option may be good for you, as this tastes more like a protein smoothie than a greens powder. The texture is on the creamier side with the flavor being a more pungent vanilla that some feel is overwhelming. While greens powders may provide a variety of health-promoting nutrients and help improve your vegetable intake, some of the ingredients may cause unwanted side effects as well.

U.S. Food & Drug Administration.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not approve dietary supplements before they are sold, so it’s tough to say that greens powders are safe across the board. This is why looking into a company’s sourcing and testing is crucial to finding a safe product. Money ME, Walkowiak J, Virgilio C, et al.

However, these certifications are difficult to obtain and/or expensive for manufacturers, so many companies choose not to get their products tested by one of these three organizations.

Grains: Quinoa, barley and rice are often added to greens powders as a source of fiber. These grains are also excellent sources of magnesium, B vitamins, folate, phosphorus and manganese.This greens powder is particularly high in vitamin K—with around 70 percent of the recommended daily allowance—which can be beneficial for some people but may pose a risk for people taking certain medications. Vitamin K can interact with blood thinners, cholesterol medications, and even some antibiotics. Preventing damage to blood proteins like enzymes is important, as they perform functions that help protect you from cancer and chronic diseases ( 12). The Acai Lemonade flavor has quite a distinct smell of citrus, and that citrus flavor combines with almost a minty undertone for the flavor profile. Some may not love the aftertaste, and it does take a bit longer to mix this powder to get rid of clumps.

Greens powders are typically a mix of leafy greens, seaweed, vegetables, fruits, extracts, probiotics, enzymes, and herbs in the form of a powder. While some powders contain high amounts of vitamins and minerals, there isn't research to understand the bioavailability (how much your body can absorb) of these nutrients in this form. It could be more or less than eating fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. Greens powders don’t always list the content of all vitamins and minerals. They generally aren’t as complete as a standard multivitamin and mineral supplement.Bito T, Okumura E, Fujishima M, Watanabe F. Potential of Chlorella as a Dietary Supplement to Promote Human Health.
