ProGreens with Advanced Probiotic Formula
NutriCology
Overview
ProGreens offers a diverse array of ingredients known for their nutritional and health benefits. However, the effectiveness of the product is limited by the comprehensive list of ingredients which may lead to underdosing of many individual components in the relatively small 8.8g serving. While some key ingredients like Spirulina and Flax Seed are present in reasonable amounts, the majority of herbal extracts and specialized ingredients appear to be at sub-optimal doses for significant therapeutic effects.
The Good
Diverse Nutritional Profile: Offers a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients from various greens, fruits, and herbs.
Supports Gut Health: Includes prebiotics (FOS, Apple Pectin) and probiotics (LactoSpore, Bifidobacterium Group) for digestive well-being.
Antioxidant Support: Contains multiple ingredients like Spirulina, Chlorella, Green Tea Extract, and Acerola Berry Powder known for their antioxidant properties.
The Bad
Potential Underdosing for Many Ingredients: With an 8.8g serving and over 20 distinct ingredients (excluding macronutrients), many components, especially specialized extracts like Green Tea, Grape Seed, Bilberry, and several adaptogens, are likely present at sub-therapeutic levels.
California Proposition 65 Warning: The product carries a warning for lead, which can be a concern for consumers.
Unspecified Probiotic Strains and CFU: The probiotic cultures are listed broadly (Non-Dairy Probiotic Cultures, LactoSpore, Bifidobacterium Group) without specific strain identification or CFU count, making efficacy and safety assessment difficult.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking to supplement their diet with greens and probiotics, those looking for antioxidant support
Skip If: You have known allergies to common greens or probiotic ingredients, or are on medications that may interact.
