Superior Greens
FoodScience of Vermont
Overview
Superior Greens offers a broad spectrum of ingredients which individually possess research-backed benefits. However, the proprietary blends make it difficult to ascertain if therapeutic doses are provided for many components. While some ingredients like Spirulina and Chlorella are adequately dosed, many others within the blends are likely underdosed to provide significant clinical effects.
The Good
Diverse array of whole food and botanical ingredients.
Contains digestive enzymes and probiotics (though amounts are proprietary) for gut support.
Includes Spirulina and Chlorella, nutrient-dense microalgae.
The Bad
California Proposition 65 warning for lead is a significant concern.
Extensive use of proprietary blends obscures the effective dosages of most ingredients.
Many ingredients (e.g., Green Tea Extract, Grape Seed Extract, Milk Thistle, Royal Jelly) are likely underdosed based on typical clinical effective amounts.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals looking to boost daily nutrient intake, those with low vegetable consumption, people seeking digestive support
Skip If: You have specific allergies to ingredients, are pregnant or nursing without consulting a doctor
