Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I am looking for the forums input on the value of taking concentrated green supplements. I'm sure most of you have heard of nutritional supplements that are concentrated forms of organically grown grasses, vegetables, herbs, etc. They have ingredients like Alfalfa leaf, parsley leaf, carrot root, shave grass, rosemary leaf, etc. One that I have taken previosuly is called " Supreme Greens " . In any case, I am curious to know what you all think about this genre of nutritional supplement. Is it all marketing and fluff or do " concentrated green supplements " really have a health benefit. All opinions and testimonials welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I have used only one kind of green supplement, and that is organic wild aphanizomenon flos aquae, a kind of blue green algae. It has got the most chlorophyll of any plant on earth, it has vitamins, trace minerals, amino acids, protein...actually, it has everything in a balanced form. (The amino acid profile of it is the same profile as human blood!) I have had great results with my sinus problem clearing up, and two of my cats lived to be 23, after being on the product for the last 12 years of their lives. If you are in the market for a green supplement, I would suggest that you do a lot of research - organic is of course the best, veggie caps are the best (in my opinion, unless you like to eat horses hooves), check to see how the ingredients are grown, where they are grown (lots of stuff comes from China), how it is processed (heat kills nutrients especially chlorophyll), what is used for fillers, how ethical the company is, etc....

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hi, I've taken several types of green supplements. Some work some don't. I took one made made of phytoplankton and the sales person tried to tell me that this is the " cure all " because whales survive on phytoplankton and live hundreds of years. I took it and it did nothing. I did have great experiences with New Chapter " Berry Green " . After taking it I feel great. It seems to give me energy and makes me feel clean inside. It's a food based supplement not chemical like many... maybe that is the difference. The bottle says that it is freeze dried and which makes the nutrients more stable.
