Greens Powder

Why take a greens powder? The nutrient levels in our food have been steadily decreasing since the mid-20th century due to eroding topsoil, chemical usage, and other environmental factors. Including greens in your diet ensures your body receives more of the essential nutrients and vitamins it needs to stay healthy.

What should you look for in a Greens Powder product?

When purchasing a greens powder, it’s important to focus on a few key factors:

• Ingredients: Many products contain unnecessary fillers, binders, and sweeteners to improve taste or reduce production costs. Always choose a greens blend that is 100% pure.
• Origin: Greens blends often include ingredients that are mass-produced overseas, which may lead to contamination by heavy metals and reduced nutrient content due to poor soil and water quality.
• Chemicals: Opt for a certified organic greens blend to ensure it is free from harmful herbicides, pesticides, and other chemicals.

What are the most potent greens to include?

Some of the most nutrient-dense greens include:

• Wheatgrass: Rich in vitamins and nutrients, making it a powerful addition to your diet.
• Barley Grass: A superfood known for its ability to bind to heavy metals in the body and aid in detoxification.
• Spirulina: Packed with nutrients, including rare ones like beta-carotenes, which are not commonly found in a typical diet.

Is an extract or a whole food better?

Many greens powders use extracts because they are cheaper to produce, but they primarily consist of alcohol or water. Whole food-based greens powders are superior, as they contain the full spectrum of nutrients, vitamins, and active compounds found in nature. Additionally, whole food powders are better recognized by the body as food, resulting in higher bioavailability and better absorption.

What’s the difference between Australian Greens and Naked Greens?

Both Australian Greens and Naked Greens blends are certified organic and free from chemicals, fillers, or added sugars. However, their key differences are:

• Australian Greens: Contains only Australian-grown ingredients like broccoli, kale, wheatgrass, and alfalfa. It is naturally sweetened with green apple and is great for boosting your daily nutrient and vitamin intake.
• Naked Greens: This is the signature greens blend containing five of the most potent green superfoods—moringa, spirulina, wheatgrass, barley grass, and chlorella. It’s ideal for detoxification and ensuring a broad range of nutrients not commonly found in a regular diet.
