Overview

Core Greens Vanilla Bean offers a multi-faceted approach to health with a wide array of ingredients. While many ingredients are well-researched for their individual benefits, the effectiveness of the overall blend is challenging to fully assess due to the presence of proprietary blends (Truserv, Spectra, Probiotic Blend, Digestive Enzyme Blend) where specific dosages of individual components are not fully disclosed. This lack of transparency makes it difficult to ascertain if all beneficial ingredients are present at clinically effective doses, potentially leading to suboptimal efficacy for some components. However, the presence of 100% daily value for many essential vitamins and specific amounts for greens like barley grass, chlorella, and spirulina suggest some foundational benefits.

The Good

Provides 100% Daily Value of essential Vitamins A, C, D3, E, and a full B-complex, supporting foundational nutrient needs.

Contains a significant amount of dietary fiber (2g) and protein (3g) per serving.

Includes functional greens like Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, Chlorella, and Spirulina at a collective dose of 4000mg, offering diverse micronutrients and antioxidants.

The Bad

Presence of a California Proposition 65 warning for lead, indicating potential heavy metal contamination, raises significant safety concerns.

The 'Spectra' blend and 'Probiotic Blend' are proprietary, meaning specific dosages of individual ingredients within these blends are undisclosed, making it impossible to verify clinical efficacy for many components.

The 100mg total dose for the 'Spectra' blend, containing over 30 different fruit and vegetable extracts, likely means most individual components are underdosed for significant therapeutic effects.
