Organic Plant-Based Energy + Focus Blackberry Cherry Flavor
Garden of Life Sport
Overview
The supplement provides natural caffeine for energy and focus, and includes ingredients for nitric oxide support and antioxidant benefits. However, the use of proprietary blends makes it impossible to verify the effective dosages of individual components within these blends, potentially limiting their full clinical efficacy.
The Good
Provides natural, moderate energy and focus from organic Coffeeberry extract (85mg caffeine).
Features a blend of organic greens (beet, spinach, kale) known for nitric oxide support, potentially enhancing endurance and blood flow during exercise.
Certified USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified Vegan, and NSF Certified for Sport, ensuring high quality and purity standards.
The Bad
Proprietary blends ('Organic Antioxidant Energy Blend' and 'Organic Nitric Oxide Blend') obscure the exact dosages of key active ingredients, making it difficult to assess their full efficacy.
Very high dose of Vitamin B12 (9167% DV) is significantly more than typically needed, potentially unnecessary for individuals without a deficiency.
Contains Vitamin K1 from greens, which could interact with blood-thinning medications, and its exact quantity is unknown within the blend.
Is it for you?
Best For: Athletes, individuals seeking natural energy and focus, those following a plant-based diet
