Greens Powder

Diet and Nutrition
21

I have recently been doing a lot of research on green powder supplements. With the type of job I have and my work schedule (law enforcement) I have a hard time eating a lot of vegetables. I have found four green food suplements that seem to be top quality:

  1. Greens+ by Sam Graci - this is reccomended by John Berardi, check out his website for more info.
  2. Udo’s Choice Green Blend (formerly Beyond Greens)
  3. Green’s First by Doctors For Nutrition
  4. Perfect Food by Garden of Life

I am currently using Perfect Food and Udo’s Green Blend. The Perfect Food tastes disgusting, but I can choke it down. Udo’s Green Blend doesn’t taste bad at all and mixes good with Low Carb Grow!.

I can tell these green powders are really working. I have much more energy, my skin looks better, and I just feel more healthy.

When these two run out I am going to try the other two. Like John Berardi always stresses - you can never get enough greens. So, from now on green powders will be a must have supplement for me (along with fish oil, flax oil, Surge and Low Carb Grow!)

I’m using Greens+, but not the regular one, the “berry” one that is purple.

I checked out those Vitamin D + Calcium articles and that really helps - thanks! I will see what types of products are available in that combination. In the mean time though I think if she consumed her calcium lactate with a dairy source it will at least partially do the trick. I read that calcium lactate is the most absorbable form - any truth to that? Is this also what the Feds push dairy on Americans so hardcore?

Thanks,

TopSirloin:

I think Calcium citrate and malate are better absorbed than lactate. Read this article relative to calcium and vitamin D, it might be of help:

Dr. Berardi just added a greens recomendation to his site. Its called Greens+.

Do any of you guys see a problem with taking greens in capsule form(such as Garden of Life’s product)? This would eliminate the dread of choking the stuff down everyday but IM concerned about absorption.
