    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
