$34 USD for Superfood is decent to me, even when I am charged shipping, exchange rate and duty to Toronto. That will give around a 1 month supply of Superfood. Here, Greens plus is $70-$80 CND (approximately $55-$60 USD) for a 510 gram canister!

Dang!

If you use some of the supershake recipies from Berardi it disguises the taste pretty significantly. Also Greens+ has a new flavor called Wild Berry Burst. I beleive it has all the same stuff as the original but with mixed berry extracts. the taste is much sweeter.
superfood : these guys will sell you 4 @ $24 ea.

Check out the label of Greens Plus, the amounts per serving are sweet dick all. You would have to take several servings per day for any real benefit and that my friends, gets way too costly.

Yeah, I’ve seen several places like this online, but Dr. Schulze says that unless you buy direct from the American Botanical Company, he cannot guarantee that the product these companies are selling for cheaper is the genuine article.

If you do comparing with NOW foods, they are always CONSIDERABLY cheaper. Too cheap - I don’t trust them. In fact one of their products, many years ago, I think it was their glucosamine - was tested to be very under dosed. Ever since then, I won’t buy their products. How can you be sure you’re getting what you’re paying for…even if you’re not paying much???

I use Greens’ Vibrance most of the time. But whatever I use - I use in capsules. I don’t mind chugging 8-16 capsules…but I don’t want to taste that stuff. I don’t care one bit that the caps cost a lot more…I don’t want to taste that green stuff…

A couple of days?! Your body will destroy most foreign invaders in a couple of days by itself. Vit C and Zinc can get rid of stuff in a matter of hours.

I’m talking about the nasty stuff, like flu’s, tonsillitis, pneumonia shit like that. If you could get rid of these conditions in a couple of hours with zinc and vitamin C alone, I would call you a witch and burn you at the stake.
Found an article on Greens supplementation in OnFitness Magazine.
Helps restore alkalinity to your body. An acidic body is a magnet for disease. And a body can be made acidic by different foods, including animal based foods.
Cancerous tissues and acidic. Healthy tissues are alkaline.
Chlorophyll is a powerful cleanser of body toxins.
Greens will give you more energy. Chlorophyll can increase the body’s supply of oxygen. Plus, green beverages provide quite a bit of ATP activity. Adenosine Triposphate is what makes muscles work. When you achieve muscle failure in the gym, the working muscle’s ATP supply has been momentarily depleted.
Once again this was all taken from an article I read…not directly from me.

I have requested official lab testing reports on all of their products that i have taken for years (including their glucosamine/chondrotin), and they all are legit and pure. Not sure what “test” you were referring to, but if you email them they would be more than happy to send you lab testing results for their products.
