Greens Powders, Too Good To Be True
Companies offer drinks so you can create a glass full of powerful superfoods and meet your vitamin needs by mixing powdered green mixes with water. Powdered dried fruits and vegetables boost immunity, improve gut health, and build antioxidants.
Clinical dietitian, Gina Milano of Stanford Health Care, said they promise to help you maintain energy levels throughout the day, relieve bloating, and support liver function.

Many Powders Are Not FDA- Regulated
Most haven’t proven that they deliver on their promises. Milano said it is unclear exactly how the disease-preventing superfood complexes function. The FDA has not evaluated many powders that claim to treat or prevent disease.
We Don’t Know Ingredient Specifications
Surprisingly, not much research has been done on superfoods and green blends since they vary from brand to brand and manufacture to manufacture.
Vitamin, Mineral Contents Are More Known
You can think of these greens powders as well-rounded daily vitamins since they are easy to take. Compared with a diet of healthful whole foods, powdered greens offer no significant health benefits.

These Greens Help You Stay Healthy
These green powders are not harmful when combined with a balanced diet, drinking water, and exercising. Besides eating healthy, we can do plenty of other things to stay healthy, live longer, and live longer and better.
Research Before Drinking The Blends
- Make sure you’re eating full meals with your beverage
- Research the mixture and ensure it has been tested for safety
- To verify the contents of a bottle, check NSF third-party verified brands
