If you’ve ever used a greens supplement, you’re likely aware of its benefits, from supporting energy and immune function to aiding detoxification and balancing acid/alkaline levels. With so many options available, it’s worth exploring how greens supplements have evolved and what innovations you should look for in your next purchase.
Renzo, a University of Toronto graduate with over 20 years in health and wellness, brings his expertise to Younited Nutrition, which he launched in 2020. His extensive experience in sales, marketing, and product development inspired his mission to create innovative supplements focused on health, wellness, and anti-aging.
Is Organic Better?
Organic greens have an edge over conventional ones, particularly due to the absence of synthetic pesticides and herbicides like glyphosates. While conventional and organic vegetables can have similar nutrient profiles, organic farming practices ensure more diverse soil nutrition, non-GMO produce, and natural fertilizers. Look for formulations using fully organic ingredients, as they deliver greater overall benefits.
Vitamin and Mineral Concentrations
Not all greens supplements disclose their vitamin and mineral content, but higher-quality products tend to use nutrient-dense ingredients like sea vegetables, which naturally enhance potency. Ensure your chosen greens supplement relies on naturally occurring vitamins from whole foods rather than synthetic additives, which are less bioavailable.
Adding Fruits to the Mix
Fruits such as acai, pomegranate, and tart cherry are powerful antioxidants, complementing greens with their immune-boosting and anti-aging properties. A greens supplement with low-sugar, pesticide-free fruits can round out your nutritional profile while improving taste. This is especially helpful for those on low-sugar diets or with limited fruit variety in their meals.
The Role of Medicinal Mushrooms
Medicinal mushrooms like cordyceps, chaga, and reishi add adaptogenic and nootropic benefits, helping combat stress and improve focus. They’re a valuable addition to any greens formula, providing complementary support for wellness and performance.
