Let's talk Superfood Green Powders - Plants VS. Plant Extract

Greens supplements are veggies, fruits, grasses, herbs, algae and other nutritional foods that have been dried and turned into powder.

Not all greens supplements are created equal. Look at the prices of similar products. Some cost $20 and some cost $60 or more for 30 servings. Why is this?

Are the cheap ones as good as the expensive ones?

Drying a plant such as green tea leaves and grinding them up finely gives you a powder the can be used in the supplement. With the green tea, it is called Matcha and it is not very expensive to produce or add to the product. Making a dried green tea extract is a much more extensive process and super concentrates all the antioxidants called catechins. You can consume much less of it with the same biological benefits.

You get what you pay for!

This is true for all of the other nutrients found in “Superfood Greens” found on the market. Products that simply take dried grapes and make a powder are very different than products that create an extract from grape skins using advanced lab equipment and a scientific process.

The best seller on Amazon is not always the best product. Sometimes it is just less expensive and has the right label or advertising. Sometimes it is very misleading. You may get some benefit from using a powdered green that uses the “dry and grind” method but it will be nothing compared to the benefits of other products that formulate a group of specific extracts, enzymes, phytochemicals, and superfood nutrients.

Advanced scientific nutrition formulated by renowned MD.
