The Super Elixir
Our verdict
The product the brand is built on. It is a well-made greens powder with real micronutrient content, but it is a top-up, not a substitute for vegetables. Fine as a daily habit if the price does not bother you.
Pros
- +Broad micronutrient coverage
- +Alkalising greens plus pre and probiotics
- +Mixes well, tolerable taste
Cons
- -Expensive per serve
- -Greens powders do not replace whole vegetables
- -Long ingredient list means small individual doses
Evidence
Greens powders can raise intake of specific vitamins and minerals. Evidence that they match whole vegetable intake for fibre and phytonutrients is weak.
Dose
Two teaspoons daily in water or a smoothie
Best for
- · Patchy vegetable intake
- · Busy mornings
- · A single daily nutrition habit
Not for
- · Anyone on warfarin, because of vitamin K
- · Pregnancy without GP advice
- · Anyone wanting targeted dosing
