    A Guide To Greens Powder – How To Use Super Greens For Health

    greens-powder-health-benefits

    Greens powder is a supplement that helps you achieve your daily intake of vegetables. You will see this being consumed most commonly in green smoothies!

    The craze behind greens powder is all about the nutrients it holds for your body. Greens powder is known as a “Superfood” that keeps your body healthy, wards off disease, is high in phytonutrients, is a good source of fiber, provides digestive assistance, and helps to heal tissues.

    What is Greens Powder?

    Greens powder is a supplement that helps you achieve your daily intake of vegetables and can be mixed into water or other liquids.

    The green hue comes from 25-40 different ingredients, generally from dried leafy greens and other vegetables, seaweed, grasses, other high-antioxidant fruits, herbs, probiotics, and digestive enzymes. It can taste a bit grassy and bitter.

    The ingredients are generally dried and then ground into a powder. However, some elements have been juiced, dehydrated, sprouted, or fermented, which increases vitamin levels and helps break down the compounds that can interfere with mineral absorption.

    • Greens powder is often vegan, as well as non-genetically modified and organic, but always check the labels of the brands you are purchasing to verify this.

    What is in my Greens Powder?

    Greens powder is typically low in calories but high in certain minerals and vitamins such as selenium, iodine, chromium, vitamins A, C, and K, and contains plant compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

    Common Ingredients:

    • Leafy greens: Spinach, kale, collards, parsley
    • Seaweed: Spirulina, chlorella, dulse, kelp
    • Other vegetables: Broccoli, beets, carrots, tomatoes, green cabbage
    • Grasses: Barley grass, wheatgrass, oat grass, alfalfa grass
    • High-antioxidant fruits: Blueberries, raspberries, goji berries, acai berries
    • Nutritional extracts: Green tea extract, grape seed extract, ginkgo Biloba extract
    • Probiotics: Lactobacillus rhamnosus, acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis
    • Plant-based digestive enzymes: Amylase, cellulase, lipase, papain, protease
    • Herbs: Holy basil, astragalus, echinacea, milk thistle
    • Mushrooms: Maitake mushroom extract, shiitake mushroom extract
    • Natural sugar substitutes: Stevia leaf extract, monk fruit extract
    • Extra fiber: Rice bran, inulin, apple fiber

    Benefits of greens supplements

    There are many benefits to taking green powder regularly, including being high in phytonutrients, a good source of fiber, providing digestive enzymes, healing tissues, reducing inflammation, and helping to keep the Heart healthy.

    • High in Phytonutrients: Phytonutrients are necessary for sustaining human life and preventing diseases. Phytonutrients also help slow down the aging process.
    • Good Source of Fiber: Fiber is essential for proper bowel movements, keeping the colon healthy, decreasing the risk of other cancers and diabetes, and removing toxins from the body.
    • Provides Digestive Enzymes: Enzymes help with the digestion of food. Proper digestion of food doesn’t happen without enough enzymes, and we naturally produce fewer enzymes when we age.
    • Heals Tissues: The chlorophyll found appears to stimulate the growth of new skin tissue in wounds, aiding in the healing of tissues.
    • Reduce Inflammation: Reduces inflammation internally and externally by stabilizing the body’s natural PH.
    • Keeps the Heart Healthy: The antioxidants, phytochemicals, and chlorophyll work together to keep the Heart healthy and the arterial wall strong. These compounds help protect against cardiovascular diseases, lower cholesterol, and stabilize blood pressure.

    On the other hand, if you have whole raw lion's mane mushrooms, you have an entirely different ingredient with unique flavors and uses. Compared to extract, raw whole lion's mane is closer in flavor and texture to regular store-bought white button mushrooms. Whole cooked lions' mane has a chewy texture depending on how little or much you cook it and is mild in flavor, making it great for sauces since it absorbs flavors. On its own, raw lion's mane doesn't have much flavor at all.
