Overview

This greens powder aims to offer comprehensive nutritional support through a wide array of ingredients. While it provides essential vitamins and minerals, the extensive use of proprietary blends without disclosing individual ingredient amounts significantly hinders the ability to assess the product's clinical effectiveness. It is highly probable that many potentially beneficial components are present in sub-optimal doses, limiting their impact. Therefore, while it may contribute to general wellness, claims of potent effects or replacement of whole foods based on specific ingredients cannot be fully substantiated.

The Good

Broad Range of Nutrients: Contains a wide variety of greens, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and digestive aids, offering comprehensive general wellness support.

Includes Essential Vitamins and Minerals: Provides several key vitamins (A, C, K, B vitamins) and minerals (Calcium, Iron, Iodine, Selenium, Manganese, Potassium) at specified daily value percentages, with Vitamin A meeting 100% DV.

Antioxidant Support: Features a "Tru Antioxidant Blend" with ingredients like Acai, Goji, Green Tea, and Acerola Cherry, which are known for their antioxidant properties.

The Bad

Proprietary Blends with Undisclosed Dosages: The majority of the ingredients are listed within two proprietary blends ("Tru Food Blend" and "Tru Antioxidant Blend") and an "Efa Fiber Blend" and "Digestive Enzyme & Active Culture Pro & Probiotic Blend" without individual ingredient amounts. This makes it impossible to assess the efficacy of most ingredients. For example, specific amounts of Wheat Grass, Organic Barley, Alfalfa, Spirulina, Spinach, Chlorella, Broccoli, Acai, Goji, and Green Tea are unknown within their blends, making it highly probable many are underdosed for their research-backed benefits.

Likely Underdosed Ingredients: Given the total blend sizes (e.g., "Tru Food Blend" at 5722 mg total for 7 ingredients, and "Tru Antioxidant Blend" at 1081 mg for 10 ingredients), it is highly probable that many beneficial ingredients like Spirulina, Chlorella, Maca, Green Tea, and Goji are present in amounts far below their clinically effective doses.

Goitrogen Content: Ingredients like broccoli and barley are goitrogenic, meaning they can interfere with thyroid function if consumed in very large amounts or if there's an iodine deficiency. While likely not an issue at probable doses, it's a consideration for those with thyroid concerns.
