Super Greens Supplements
Super Greens, or simply Greens, are a mix of dehydrated green foods packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, proteins, and other bioactive compounds. In most Super Greens formulas, you'll commonly find:
- Chlorella: A freshwater algae with the highest known chlorophyll content, offering antioxidant properties. It's rich in fiber, iron, and B vitamins.
- Spirulina: Another algae, known as one of the richest plant sources of protein (over 50%). It also contains the pigment phycocyanin, which has strong antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory effects.
- Wheatgrass: Nutritious early stages of popular grains. Wheatgrass is higher in protein and has a mildly earthy taste, often combined with ingredients like apple juice to balance its flavour.
Other green foods found in Super Greens blends include matcha, moringa, kale, spinach, broccoli, alfalfa, and mint. Additionally, some blends may contain adaptogens (like maca, ashwagandha, or ginseng), functional mushrooms, and digestive enzymes.
Due to the rich blend of ingredients, Super Greens have antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory properties and can support the normal functioning of the digestive, immune, and cardiovascular systems. However, while they can be a great boost to overall health, they should not replace a balanced diet, which includes a variety of fruits and vegetables.
