Gary Null’s Show Notes 01 20 23 P
If you listen to Gary’s show, you know that he begins with the latest findings in natural approaches to health and nutrition. Starting this week, we will make some of those findings available each weekday to subscribers to the Gary Null Newsletter.
Blueberries can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women with high blood pressure
Diet plays key role in ADHD symptoms in children
Higher dose of melatonin improved sleep in older adults
Sound Waves Boost Older Adult’s Memory, Deep Sleep
Mulberry extract may ‘activate’ brown fat, help treat obesity
Psychedelic drugs promote neural plasticity in rats and flies
Blueberries can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women with high blood pressure
Colorado State University, May 19 2022
Consuming blueberries can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women with high blood pressure, according to new research by Colorado State University faculty member Sarah Ardanuy Johnson.
Consumption of 22 grams of freeze dried blueberry powder (equivalent to about 1 cup of fresh blueberries) mixed with water taken daily for 12 weeks improved the function of the inner lining of blood vessels (called the endothelium), according to preliminary findings of a study.
They performed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm clinical trial in 43 estrogen-deficient postmenopausal women aged 45-65 years with elevated blood pressure or stage 1-hypertension. Johnson’s research team used freeze-dried blueberries to retain the polyphenols as much as possible, and to allow for the study to be double-blind, meaning that neither the investigators nor the study participants knew whether they were getting the treatment (blueberry) or placebo.
Johnson said the team observed increases in blood metabolites that are products of metabolism of anthocyanins (polyphenols found in blueberries that give them their blue color) and metabolism of polyphenols by the gut microbiome.
Diet plays key role in ADHD symptoms in children
Ohio State University, May 20, 2022
Here’s a good reason for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to eat their fruits and vegetables: It may help reduce inattention issues, a new study suggests.
Results showed that kids who consumed more fruits and vegetables showed less severe symptoms of inattention, said Irene Hatsu, associate professor of human nutrition at The Ohio State University.
The study that evaluated the effectiveness of the supplement showed that children who took the micronutrients were three times as likely to show significant improvement in their ADHD and emotional dysregulation symptoms than those who took a placebo.
Higher dose of melatonin improved sleep in older adults
Harvard University, May 19, 2022
In a small study of healthy adults aged 55 and older, 5 mg of melatonin increased total sleep time compared to a placebo.
Researchers conducted the study in 24 healthy, older adults to evaluate whether a high-doseor a low-dose melatonin supplement could improve sleep. The team found that the higher dose had a significant impact, increasing total sleep time compared to placebo by more than 15 minutes for nighttime sleep and by half an hour for daytime sleep. Results are published in the Journal of Pineal Research.
The body naturally produces the hormone melatonin, which helps regulate a person’s sleep-wake cycle with night and day. Melatonin levels peak at night. But among older people, levels of the hormone are often lower.
The team found that the low dose of melatonin did not lead to a statistically significant change in overall sleep time and that the changes that were seen were when sleep was scheduled during the biological day. Participants taking the 5 mg dose had a significant increase in total sleep time and sleep efficiency regardless of whether sleep was scheduled during the day or night.
Sound Waves Boost Older Adult’s Memory, Deep Sleep
Northwestern University, May 14, 2022
Gentle sound stimulation—such as the rush of a waterfall—synchronized to the rhythm of brain waves significantly enhanced deep sleep in older adults and improved their ability to recall words. This is according to a Northwestern Medicine study.
Deep sleep is critical for memory consolidation. But beginning in middle age, deep sleep decreases substantially, which scientists believe contributes to memory loss in aging.
The sound stimulation significantly enhanced deep sleep in participants and their scores on a memory test.
The degree of slow wave sleep enhancement was related to the degree of memory improvement, suggesting slow wave sleep remains important for memory, even in old age.
Mulberry extract may ‘activate’ brown fat, help treat obesity
Chinese Academy of Sciences, May 9, 2022
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences say obesity can be treated by using a natural compound in mulberries that “activates” brown fat.The compound, known as rutin, was found to have weight loss properties in a study published in The FASEB Journal. Researchers say this may not only be able to help treat obesity, but related diseases associated with excessive weight gain.”The beneficial effects of rutin on BAT-mediated metabolic improvement have evoked a substantial interest in the potential treatment for obesity and its related diseases, such as diabetes,” researcher Wan-Zhu Jin said in a press release. During the experiment, supplemental rutin was added to the drinking water of both groups. Researchers observed improved glucose homeostasis in both cohorts. The investigators concluded the rutin improved metabolic functions in the mice. Scientists are confident similar remedies can be used to treat obesity in humans.
Psychedelic drugs promote neural plasticity in rats and flies
University of California Davis, May 12, 2022
Psychedelic drugs may have mind-altering powers in the physical sense, too. A new study, published in the journal Cell Reports, found psychedelics, specifically DOI, DMT, and LSD, can change brain cells in rats and flies, making neurons more likely to branch out and connect with one another. The work supports the theory that psychedelics could help to fight depression, anxiety, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
“These are some of the most powerful compounds known to affect brain function, it’s very obvious to me that we should understand how they work,” says senior author David E. Olson, assistant professor at the University of California, Davis.
The idea that depression stems from imbalanced brain chemistry remains popular, but recent studies have revealed evidence that depression manifests as structural changes in brain circuits or atrophy in parts of the brain. This doesn’t mean neurons die off during depression, but that neurites retract. Neurites are the sections—either axons or dendrites—of a neuron that project out to bridge the gap between two neurons at the synapse to facilitate communication.
“One of the hallmarks of depression is that the neurites in the prefrontal cortex—a key brain region that regulates emotion, mood, and anxiety—those neurites tend to shrivel up,” says Olson. These brain changes also appear in cases of anxiety, addiction, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
In their paper, Olson and colleagues tested psychedelics and showed some psychedelics tested, including LSD, proved to be more potent and efficacious in promoting neurite growth.

How to Lower Glucose Level Effectively?
High blood sugar problem is the major concern for the entire world. The doctors and medical board are looking out for the right solution. But it is very difficult to cure this condition which is caused due to hormonal imbalance. Without the support of that hormone secreted from pancreas, it becomes difficult for the muscles and cells to assist in the conversion of the glucose in the blood into glycogen. Such abnormal elevation of glucose level will cause deterioration in the heart functions. The high glucose level will damage the blood vessels and disturb the circulatory system. If you are looking out for the exact cause for the high glucose then it is entirely related to your food habits, mental state and lifestyle. If you are consuming alcohol too heavily then it can definitely harm your liver, kidney and heart and set blood glucose in disorder.
Over the years, major change in the choice of the medicines or the treatment has been seen. People are relying more on ayurvedic medicine for treating any minor or major problem. Ayurvedic medicine has been found safe and effective for all types of patients. Moreover, it helps in regenerating health not only at physical level but also at mental level too.
Dr. Madhu Amrit is an ayurvedic medicine for blood sugar that one can find at SKinRange online at discounted price. The herbal extracts that have been used in the formulation of this ayurvedic medicine for sugar are cinnamon bark powder, extracts of grape stem, gurmar, mulberry stem , banaba leaf.
This ayurvedic medicine for blood sugar is available in powder of two colors and also in the form of capsules. The ayurvedic composition of this medicine will heal the patient if he is taking the medicine on a regular basis.
The benefits the patient will experience are:
1) It will help in maintaining high glucose normal both at fasting and at post meal conditions.
2) It will help in lowering the cholesterol level.
3) It will cause weight loss.
4) It will make the pancreas active to generate the hormone to manage the sugar level.
5) It will cleanse the intestines and keep liver function normal.
6) It will cause zero side effects.
Method of using Dr.Madhu Amrit for blood sugar control
1) It is recommended to consume the mixture of the powder twice a day, half an hour meal and capsules once a day.
The recovery from the high glucose level will be visible within a few days of regular use.
Apart from using this ayurvedic medicine for blood sugar , you need to bring changes in your daily diet. You need to consume carbohydrates and starch based food in minimum quantity. This will keep your high glucose level in control. Andl also use leafy vegetables , beans, barley, oat , eggplant with few servings of lean meat and more of citrus fruits. It will lower your toxic fats and cholesterol, improve your heart health and thus help you to overcome high blood sugar. In your free time, try to do yoga and exercise as much as possible. This will help to keep your body active and boost immunity to overcome the problems of obesity and high glucose level.

Should You Use Gundry Vital Reds? An Objective, SALES-FREE Review (New in 2018)
[Last Updated 27th September, 2018]
Gundry MD Vital Reds is a popular all-natural supplement packed with antioxidant-rich fruits, “fat-burning” herbs and probiotics.
It’s said to boost energy, improve digestion and make your skin glow—but it comes at a hefty price. So, is it worth it?
This article explores what Vital Reds is, the research behind it, what it claims to do and if it can actually help you.
What is Gundry MD Vital Reds?
Vital Reds by Gundry MD is a powdered dietary supplement that contains a mix of polyphenol-rich fruits, vitamins, minerals, herbs and probiotics.
The product is touted as “100% natural and safe” and helpful in improving energy levels, digestion and skin health.
Creator Dr. Steven Gundry recommends mixing a small scoop of the berry-flavored mix with water or any other beverage once a day.
Summary: Created by Dr. Steven Gundry, Vital Reds is a powdered dietary supplement that contains a mix of polyphenol-rich fruits, vitamins, minerals, herbs and probiotics.
Who is Dr. Gundry?
Dr. Gundry is a former cardiac surgeon, author of books including The Plant Paradox, and founder of Gundry MD, a health website and store selling supplements and skincare products.
He also holds patents on surgical and medical devices for heart surgery.
Gundry prides himself on taking a “radical departure from the traditional dietary ‘wisdom.’”
His focus is on promoting a healthy lifestyle through a natural diet centered on cultivating good bacteria in the gut. Supplements are also a big part of his protocol.
Along with Vital Reds, his product line includes prebiotics, probiotics and herb, vitamin and amino acid blends for liver support, heart defense, mood boosts and more.
Summary: Dr. Gundry is a former cardiac surgeon now focused on improving health through diet and nutrition. He’s the founder of Gundry MD, a health website and store selling his own supplements and skincare products.
Vital Reds Ingredients
Vital Reds contains over 50 total ingredients, 34 of them “polyphenol-rich superfruits with natural fat-burning ingredients and probiotics.”
It’s made up of four proprietary blends:
Polyphenol Blend, 1,760 mg: 34 superfruits to boost energy: Carrot, organic apple peel, grape skin extract, grape seed extract, aronia berry extract, organic flax seed, mulberry fruit, European black currant fruit extract, apple, organic beet root, cranberry fruit extract, mango, papaya, acai fruit extract, strawberry, blueberry fruit concentrate, pomegranate, blackberry, acerola fruit extract, apple pectin, red raspberry, pineapple, orange, cantaloupe, grape, watermelon, grapefruit, plum, pear, lemon, lime, cherry, peach and berberine hydrochloride.
Metabolic-Enhancing Blend, 356 mg: 7 thermogenic ingredients to stimulate fat-burning –�� Cinnamon bark 5:1 extract, ginger root, green tea leaf extract, white tea leaf extract, turmeric rhizome extract, bitter melon fruit extract and black pepper fruit.
Digestive Support Blend, 3 billion CFU: 4 strains of probiotics to reduce gas and bloating – Bacillus coagulans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis and L. reuteri.
Vitamin & Mineral Blend: 8 forms of Vitamin B and other minerals – Thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, biotin, pantothenic acid, selenium and chromium.
Vital Reds is soy-free, sugar-free, artificial sweetener-free and lectin-free.
Where to Buy Vital Reds
Vital Reds are available on the Gundry MD website, along with Amazon, starting at these prices:
1 Jar (30-day supply): $69.95
3 Jars (90-day supply): $199.36
6 Jars (180-day supply): $377.73
The website also offers a 90-day money back guarantee. However, several unhappy customers online have reported difficulties getting their refund.
Summary: Vital Reds contains over 50 total ingredients, including polyphenol-rich superfruits, “fat-burning” herbs and extracts, probiotics and a select mix of Vitamin B and other minerals. It can be purchased on the Gundry MD website or through Amazon.
What are Polyphenols?
Vital Reds’ main selling point is its impressive concentration of fruits and vegetables rich in polyphenols.
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds in many fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts and even cacao.
It’s what gives berries and other plants their vibrant color. More importantly, polyphenols display potent antioxidant activity and have been linked to potential health benefits including:
improved digestion
weight loss and management
diabetes treatment
protection against cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease and other chronic conditions (1).
Health benefits of polyphenols (1).
Dr. Gundry also claims they are “natural energy boosters,” though there’s no evidence to back this up.
While research has found that polyphenols could offer positive effects, it’s also shown several limitations.
Many studies have used doses higher than those contained in the typical human diet, while others have shown conflicting results, especially between animal experiments and human intervention studies (2).
At this point, it’s uncertain how much of specific polyphenols should be consumed for maximum benefit for the general population. There are also thousands of different polyphenols, making it even harder to test how each responds in the human body.
In general, polyphenols tend to work with other nutrients within the foods they are contained in. This means its best to consume polyphenols in food, in their natural state.
For example, those in certain foods can slow down the rate of carbohydrate digestion to help lower glucose spikes (3).
The bioavailability of polyphenols (how much your body can actually absorb and use) is also difficult to determine. Several factors can affect this from the state of the environment that the plant was grown in to an individual’s own age, genetics and gut health (4).
Factors which affect polyphenol bioavailability (4).
Summary: Vital Reds’ main selling point is its high amount of polyphenols, which are rich in antioxidants and have been shown to improve digestion and protect against chronic conditions like cancer and cardiovascular disease. However, research on polyphenols has been limited and proven difficult to verify any real benefits in humans.
Vital Reds Benefits
Vital Reds comes with a number of health claims that are “based on scientific research and Vital Reds reviews from real users.”
According to the Gundry MD website, Vital Reds will:
boost energy
better digestion
decrease gas and bloating after meals
promote smoother bowel movements
improve skin health and appearance
give you “the power to start getting your weight under control.”
The website also includes over 2,800 customer reviews, all 3 stars or above, at an average of 4.8 stars. You can submit a review on the website without any proof of purchase.
As of this writing, only the first five reviews, all of which are five stars, are available to see on gundrymd.com. An error occurs when trying to look at the rest.
So, I turned to HighYa, an independent review site, to see what Vital Reds customers are saying. Here are some of the benefits mentioned:
Energy bursts and “youthful” feelings
Glowing skin
Tightening of belly
More regular bowel movements
Reduced bloating and indigestion
Decreased cravings
Reduced inflammation
Lowered blood pressure and cholesterol
Of course, these benefits are all anecdotal. I’ll discuss more customer reviews (including the negative ones) below.
What Does the Research Say?
While the Gundry MD website mentions that their claims are based off scientific research, I can’t seem to find it.
The website does offer citations to studies that show potential health effects for individual ingredients found in Vital Reds, including grape seed extract, bitter melon, green tea and probiotics.
But these are all based off select ingredients, not Vital Reds’ proprietary combination. No research has been done specifically on Vital Reds.
Summary: The Gundry MD website states that Vital Reds can boost energy, better digestion and improve skin health. However, no research has been done on the product to back up any of these claims.
Vital Reds Side Effects
Gundry MD states that Vital Reds are 100% safe.
However, some customers disagree. Here are some side effects mentioned in a few reviews online:
Increased gas and bloating
Headaches
Nausea
Raised blood pressure
Decrease in mood
Fatigue
It’s also important to note that some ingredients in Vital Reds contain caffeine, a stimulant some people may be sensitive to.
Overall, it’s hard to determine what sort of long-term effects could occur from taking this supplement.
In fact, some scientists believe that high doses of polyphenol-rich dietary supplements could lead to adverse pro-oxidative (vs. antioxidative) effects. It could also have carcinogenic effects, prevent iron absorption and negatively interact with medications (5).
Summary: Though touted as 100% safe, Vital Reds have caused some side effects in certain customers who have noted increased gas, headaches, nausea and fatigue after taking the product. Researchers also believe high doses of polyphenol-rich supplements like Vital Reds could cause adverse pro-oxidative and carcinogenic effects.
Vital Reds Reviews
There are various review sites where customers have reported their experience with Vital Reds; overall, reviews are mixed.
As mentioned above, the Gundry MD website has almost 3,000 reviews, all with ratings above 3 stars, with an average of 4.8 stars.
Meanwhile, Amazon.com has over 350 reviews with an average rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars, and HighYa has over 1,250 reviews with an average rating of 4.3 stars.
Positive reviews mention the great taste, as well as noticeable improvements in energy, sleep, digestion, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, skin health and weight management. Here are some examples:
“Both my energy level and mood swings have improved. It is well worth investing in this product to feel good and stay healthy. No more mid-afternoon energy slumps…”
“I have no more digestive problems and have a regular bowel movement with no strain at all up to three times a day. My blood pressure is down and so is my cholesterol … I no longer have shortness of breath climbing the stairs and feel the sustaining energy all day long.”
“I recently went to the doctors and my blood pressure was the lowest it has been in the last few years. I love the energy it gives me and helps me get through the morning. I’m a firm believer. I absolutely love the taste. Thank you for the opportunity to try the product.”
Negative reviews complain of the price, side effects, poor customer service or lack of any results. Here are some examples:
“Replaced my morning cup of coffee for Vital Reds. No burst of energy, no increased metabolism, no dramatic results after 2 or 3 weeks.”
“This product didn’t work. I took it for a month as instructed. In addition they guarantee your money back but that’s a lie. The company has failed to give me a refund despite my many requests. Please avoid this product.”
“The taste is pleasant but within 30 minutes of drinking it, I noticed it gave me sharp headaches that lasted for hours and zapped my energy… The company promises an easy return policy. Not really.”
Summary: Online customer reviews of Vital Reds are mixed. The Gundry MD website contains no negative reviews (out of nearly 3,000 of them). Happy customers state positive effects from the product, including improvements in energy, digestion, skin health and weight management. Unhappy customers complain of the high price and lack of results.
Is Vital Reds a Scam?
While no ingredient in Vital Reds is harmful and customers may experience some benefits, the product and the way it’s marketed does show all the tell-tale signs of a scam.
Similar to other “all-natural” supplements like SeroVital, Vital Reds is expensive and is sold under several loose and unsupported claims.
There’s also a big red flag: Out of nearly 3,000 reviews on the Gundry MD website (most of which can not be seen), there are no 1- or 2-star ratings.
There’s also no research that’s been done on Vital Reds. The only way to look at its possible effectiveness is to look into studies done on the individual ingredients within the product.
Vital Reds’ main selling point is its rich polyphenol content. However, research on polyphenols has been limited and proven difficult to verify any real benefits in humans.
The long-term effects of taking the product is also unknown, and could potentially cause adverse side effects.
Overall, most scientists agree that polyphenols tend to work best in their natural state, in food with other synergistic nutrients.
So, while you could drop $70 for a 30-day supply (that’s about $2.33 per day) and take your chance on Vital Reds, you’ll likely be better off (and far more satisfied) loading up your diet with a wide, colorful range of nutrient-rich whole foods.

For example, those in certain foods can slow down the rate of carbohydrate digestion to help lower glucose spikes (3).
The bioavailability of polyphenols (how much your body can actually absorb and use) is also difficult to determine. Several factors can affect this from the state of the environment that the plant was grown in to an individual’s own age, genetics and gut health (4).
Factors which affect polyphenol bioavailability (4).
Summary: Vital Reds’ main selling point is its high amount of polyphenols, which are rich in antioxidants and have been shown to improve digestion and protect against chronic conditions like cancer and cardiovascular disease. However, research on polyphenols has been limited and proven difficult to verify any real benefits in humans.
Vital Reds Benefits
Vital Reds comes with a number of health claims that are “based on scientific research and Vital Reds reviews from real users.”
According to the Gundry MD website, Vital Reds will:
boost energy
better digestion
decrease gas and bloating after meals
promote smoother bowel movements
improve skin health and appearance
give you “the power to start getting your weight under control.”
The website also includes over 2,800 customer reviews, all 3 stars or above, at an average of 4.8 stars. You can submit a review on the website without any proof of purchase.
As of this writing, only the first five reviews, all of which are five stars, are available to see on gundrymd.com. An error occurs when trying to look at the rest.
So, I turned to HighYa, an independent review site, to see what Vital Reds customers are saying. Here are some of the benefits mentioned:
Energy bursts and “youthful” feelings
Glowing skin
Tightening of belly
More regular bowel movements
Reduced bloating and indigestion
Decreased cravings
Reduced inflammation
Lowered blood pressure and cholesterol
Of course, these benefits are all anecdotal. I’ll discuss more customer reviews (including the negative ones) below.
What Does the Research Say?
While the Gundry MD website mentions that their claims are based off scientific research, I can’t seem to find it.
The website does offer citations to studies that show potential health effects for individual ingredients found in Vital Reds, including grape seed extract, bitter melon, green tea and probiotics.
But these are all based off select ingredients, not Vital Reds’ proprietary combination. No research has been done specifically on Vital Reds.
Summary: The Gundry MD website states that Vital Reds can boost energy, better digestion and improve skin health. However, no research has been done on the product to back up any of these claims.
Vital Reds Side Effects
Gundry MD states that Vital Reds are 100% safe.
However, some customers disagree. Here are some side effects mentioned in a few reviews online:
Increased gas and bloating
Headaches
Nausea
Raised blood pressure
Decrease in mood
Fatigue
It’s also important to note that some ingredients in Vital Reds contain caffeine, a stimulant some people may be sensitive to.
Overall, it’s hard to determine what sort of long-term effects could occur from taking this supplement.
In fact, some scientists believe that high doses of polyphenol-rich dietary supplements could lead to adverse pro-oxidative (vs. antioxidative) effects. It could also have carcinogenic effects, prevent iron absorption and negatively interact with medications (5).
Summary: Though touted as 100% safe, Vital Reds have caused some side effects in certain customers who have noted increased gas, headaches, nausea and fatigue after taking the product. Researchers also believe high doses of polyphenol-rich supplements like Vital Reds could cause adverse pro-oxidative and carcinogenic effects.
Vital Reds Reviews
There are various review sites where customers have reported their experience with Vital Reds; overall, reviews are mixed.
As mentioned above, the Gundry MD website has almost 3,000 reviews, all with ratings above 3 stars, with an average of 4.8 stars.
Meanwhile, Amazon.com has over 350 reviews with an average rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars, and HighYa has over 1,250 reviews with an average rating of 4.3 stars.
Positive reviews mention the great taste, as well as noticeable improvements in energy, sleep, digestion, blood pressure and cholesterol levels, skin health and weight management. Here are some examples:
“Both my energy level and mood swings have improved. It is well worth investing in this product to feel good and stay healthy. No more mid-afternoon energy slumps…”
“I have no more digestive problems and have a regular bowel movement with no strain at all up to three times a day. My blood pressure is down and so is my cholesterol … I no longer have shortness of breath climbing the stairs and feel the sustaining energy all day long.”
“I recently went to the doctors and my blood pressure was the lowest it has been in the last few years. I love the energy it gives me and helps me get through the morning. I’m a firm believer. I absolutely love the taste. Thank you for the opportunity to try the product.”
Negative reviews complain of the price, side effects, poor customer service or lack of any results. Here are some examples:
“Replaced my morning cup of coffee for Vital Reds. No burst of energy, no increased metabolism, no dramatic results after 2 or 3 weeks.”
“This product didn’t work. I took it for a month as instructed. In addition they guarantee your money back but that’s a lie. The company has failed to give me a refund despite my many requests. Please avoid this product.”
“The taste is pleasant but within 30 minutes of drinking it, I noticed it gave me sharp headaches that lasted for hours and zapped my energy… The company promises an easy return policy. Not really.”
Summary: Online customer reviews of Vital Reds are mixed. The Gundry MD website contains no negative reviews (out of nearly 3,000 of them). Happy customers state positive effects from the product, including improvements in energy, digestion, skin health and weight management. Unhappy customers complain of the high price and lack of results.
Is Vital Reds a Scam?
While no ingredient in Vital Reds is harmful and customers may experience some benefits, the product and the way it’s marketed does show all the tell-tale signs of a scam.
Similar to other “all-natural” supplements like SeroVital, Vital Reds is expensive and is sold under several loose and unsupported claims.
There’s also a big red flag: Out of nearly 3,000 reviews on the Gundry MD website (most of which can not be seen), there are no 1- or 2-star ratings.
There’s also no research that’s been done on Vital Reds. The only way to look at its possible effectiveness is to look into studies done on the individual ingredients within the product.
Vital Reds’ main selling point is its rich polyphenol content. However, research on polyphenols has been limited and proven difficult to verify any real benefits in humans.
The long-term effects of taking the product is also unknown, and could potentially cause adverse side effects.
Overall, most scientists agree that polyphenols tend to work best in their natural state, in food with other synergistic nutrients.
So, while you could drop $70 for a 30-day supply (that’s about $2.33 per day) and take your chance on Vital Reds, you’ll likely be better off (and far more satisfied) loading up your diet with a wide, colorful range of nutrient-rich whole foods.

What is Rutin (Vitamin P - AKA Rutinose)?
Rutin is a potent bioflavonoid supplement that helps promote and maintain a healthy body. It is best known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-supporting benefits. Rutin is related to Quercetin, and the two compounds are always found together in their natural form. Rutin is a ‘slow-release’ version of Quercetin with an added rutinose sugar molecule.[1]
Rutin is digested by bacteria in your gut and goes well with probiotic supplements. The recommended serving size for a high-potency Rutin supplement is around 500 mg, taken once or twice per day. Side effects are uncommon and generally mild (see the ‘side effects’ section below). Make sure you fully understand how to use this supplement before purchasing it.
Background
Rutin is also sometimes called Vitamin P (it is not a true vitamin) or rutoside. It is best thought of as the sister form of Quercetin, one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants.
The name ‘Rutin’ comes from the chemical structure of this compound – a Quercetin molecule bound to a rutinose sugar molecule, which helps the body with absorption. The extra sugar molecule slows the breakdown of Rutin in the stomach and allows the positive effects to continue for a prolonged period of time.[2]
Rutin is often referred to as vitamin because of the amazing and, frankly, essential health benefits. "Vitamin P" refers to ‘bioflavonoids’, of which Rutin/Quercetin are by far the most powerful. Good natural food sources of Rutin include dates, berries, onions, peppers, fruits, and leafy greens.[3] Rutin acts alongside gut bacteria in the stomach, which break the sugar molecule off and allow it to deliver its beneficial effects. Having strong gut bacteria is useful for enjoying the benefits of this supplement, and it can be taken alongside probiotic supplements.[4]
Recently, doctors and scientists have been stressing more and more the importance of bioflavonoids in the human diet.[5] Although Rutin is not an actual vitamin, it is becoming increasingly evident that the human body thrives in an abundance of phytochemicals (plant compounds) – and especially bioflavonoids from fruits and vegetables. Study after study shows how important these natural compounds are for maintaining a healthy circulatory system, fighting inflammation, and for supporting an immune system.
Check Out Our Range of Rutin
Potential Benefits and Effects of Rutin
In their natural form – in fruits and vegetables – Rutin and Quercetin are almost always found together, and often in very similar amounts. They are both absorbed quickly in the intestines, but Rutin interacts more with gut bacteria.
In one study, researchers found gave rats a strong extract from mulberries, rich in both Quercetin and Rutin. The results indicated that the maximum concentration in the bloodstream after taking the extract was 20 minutes for Quercetin and 1 hour for Rutin.[6] The most important health benefits of this supplement include:
1. Powerful Naturally-Occurring Antioxidant
One of nature’s most powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants protect your body by destroying harmful ‘free-radicals’ – reactive chemicals that cause can cause ill health. Reactive oxygen species (also known as ‘free-radicals’) are formed through different normal biochemical processes in your body. Stress, a bad diet, drugs, alcohol abuse, environmental pollution, and disease can all contribute to excess free radical production. When left unchecked, these compounds can cause damage to the cells in your body, and even to your DNA.
That’s why antioxidants are so important for good health. And of all the naturally-occuring antioxidants we know of, Rutin is up there with the most powerful. A great benefit of antioxidant compounds is that they help to protect your circulatory system by preventing the build-up of cholesterol plaques. As we mentioned before, this is why doctors around the world are calling bioflavonoids the new “Vitamin P” – their antioxidant effects are essential for a healthy heart and a healthy body!
Study: In 2018, researchers set out to discover the true antioxidant potential of Rutin. They exposed cellular cultures to a variety of toxins and conducted numerous tests on lab rats to try to figure out how it works so well to promote good health. They found that Rutin activates a number of different biochemical mechanisms in the body to prevent cellular damage and to protect DNA.[7]
What this study indicates: Rutin is a powerful antioxidant with protective effects on the circulatory system and on cells in the body. It is a great supplement for promoting good health.
2. Potent Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Potent Anti-Inflammatory Effects! In addition to Rutin’s powerful antioxidant benefits, it is also a very potent natural anti-inflammatory compound. This means that it helps your body to manage inflammation. Studies today show that bioflavonoids like Quercetin and Rutin are excellent natural anti-inflammatory agents. Another reason why doctors recommend eating 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day!
Inflammation is your body’s natural response when it’s ‘under attack’. Bacterial infections, scratches, bruises, and allergies all evoke the immune response. The immune response is visible through inflammation such as swelling, and redness. Inflammation is perfectly normal and is actually a very important part of a healthy body. The problems occur when inflammation gets out of hand. Long-term stress and illnesses can cause too much inflammation. Allergies are also a very frustrating form of inflammation.
STUDY: In 2017, researchers used human cell cultures to identify the anti-inflammatory effects of Rutin. They isolated human neutrophils (important enzymes in your body’s first line of defense) and treated the cells with Rutin to record its effects. They found that Rutin had no negative effects on the viability of the neutrophils (a good thing!). However, it significantly reduced the production of inflammation markers (NO and TNF-α) by the immune enzymes.[8]
What this study indicates: Without ‘hurting’ or damaging important immune enzymes, Rutin is able to temporarily decrease their ability to cause inflammation. This is an excellent outcome for a natural anti-inflammatory compound, and these effects are considered to be quite remarkable.
3. Helps to Support a Healthy Immune System
Rutin is great for supporting a healthy immune system! Even though it helps as an anti-inflammatory, studies have found that Rutin (and Quercetin) help to promote a strong immune system. Actually, this had been known for a long time. It is already well established that a large intake of fruits and vegetables is associated with an improved immune system.[9] Fruits and vegetables provide minerals, vitamins, and – importantly – bioflavonoids like Rutin.
‘Immunomodulators’ are a class of compounds that are able to reduce the negative effects of inflammation – swelling, fear, and allergies – while simultaneously supporting the body’s ability to fight foreign pathogens, toxins, and bacteria. Bioflavonoids are considered to be great natural immunomodulators and Rutin is one of the best-known bioflavonoids today.
STUDY: In a 2017 study, researchers examined the effects of Rutin on the mammalian immune system in a series of experiments. The results proved to be very exciting.
Rutin was found to improve phagocytosis (the process where immune cells engulf bacteria and toxins, to remove them).
The results further attested to the antioxidant benefits of Rutin, which are also important for a healthy immune system.
The researchers found that Rutin improved the binding of neutrophils to foreign-bodies. Neutrophils can be thought of as ‘scavenger’ enzymes that find toxins and trigger the immune response.
The results showed an increase in the production of antibodies (immune cells that destroy foreign toxins) after animals were given Rutin.[10]
What this study indicates: This study clearly shows the immune-supporting benefits of Rutin. Although the study was performed on animals, the immune system is very similar in all mammals. When taken as a supplement or in its natural form, this phytochemical is definitely great for supporting a healthy immune system.
Recommended Usage for Rutin
There is no established RDA for Rutin (Vitamin P) at this time. However, most human studies tend to use a serving size of around 500 mg, taken once to twice per day. Rutin can be taken alongside Quercetin, in which case we recommend using half the usual serving size for each supplement. Rutin’s effects might also be enhanced by using probiotic or prebiotic supplements that support gut health.
Rutin is sold in a powder form. It comes with a measuring scoop to easily measure out the correct serving size. It can be swallowed directly with a glass of water or dissolved in a juice or healthy smoothie. You may also be interested in purchasing some capsules for ease of use.
DO NOT EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED SERVING SIZE FOR THIS SUPPLEMENT.
Check Out Our Range of Rutin
Side Effects and Warnings
There have not been many human studies of large servings of Rutin to assess the most common side effects. However, Healthline.com notes several potential adverse effects that may be experienced when taking Rutin. These could include one or more of:
Blurred vision
Upset stomach
A headache
Flushed skin
Nervousness
Rash
Changes in heartbeat
Fluid accumulation in the knees
Muscle stiffness/soreness
High white blood cell count [11]
It’s important to remember that any adverse effects are more likely to be experienced when you use larger servings. It’s also important to remember that most people who use Rutin supplements will not experience any adverse effects at all.
The health benefits of bioflavonoids such as Rutin and Quercetin far outweigh any potential side effects, but for your own benefit, we do not recommend exceeding the serving size of 500 mg.

Rankings: Best superfood green powders of 2018
Superfood green powders are an easy and convenient way to get your fruits, vegetables, vitamins, and nutrients. They even come packed with digestive enzymes, probiotics, and special herbs and superfoods that support immunity, heart health, and more.
This list ranks the most nutrient-rich, effective superfood green powders on the market so you can make sure you’re getting quality.
Part 1 ranks this year’s 9 best fat superfood green powders in order, and part 2 will go over how they work and answer some FAQs.
9. AdvoGreens Greens Powder by Advocare
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
Greens Powder by Advocare is a phytonutrient green shake that is plant-based and high in fiber.
Phytonutrients are natural compounds found in plants. Our modern diets make it difficult to get sufficient phytonutrients, which have both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They boost the immune system, promote eye health, improve cardiovascular health, and even protect against cancer.
In fact, a study done on rats shows that compounds found in a certain type of phytonutrient – glucosinolates – actually inactivates carcinogens and protects cells from DNA damage. (1)
The ingredients in AdvoGreens include a greens and vegetables blend that’s rich in antioxidants, and vitamins A, C, and E, an enzyme, prebiotic, and probiotic blend that supports digestive health, and a fiber blend to manage digestion and appetite.
If you check the ingredients list, it’s packed with superfoods and nutrient-dense proteins like spinach, alfalfa juice, wheat grass, broccoli, flax seed, chia seed, kale, carrot, spirulina, barley grass, green tea, green coffee, and more.
Spirulina was used by the Aztecs and has even been proposed by NASA to be used as space food. (2) If you look at the density of protein, vitamin B, copper, iron, magnesium, and potassium per gram of dried spirulina powder, it might be the most nutritious food on the planet. (3)
Kale is almost as nutrient-dense and is known to lower cholesterol and fight cancer. (4) (5) Meanwhile, green tea extract can help you focus while burning fat and boosting your metabolism. (6)
The number of health benefits found in the AdvoGreens ingredients list is endless.
8. Shakeology Power Greens Boost
Click here for the lowest price
Rather than give you trace amounts of 100 different ingredients, Shakeology’s Power Greens Boost focuses on giving your body high levels of the most important nutrients through a hand-picked selection of powerful superfoods. It’s also free of artificial sweeteners, artificial colors, and preservatives.
Power Greens Boost puts the spotlight on three important ingredients: kale, chlorella, and spinach.
We’ve all heard about the benefits of kale. It’s one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the plant, with over a dozen important vitamins and minerals and well over your recommended daily amount of vitamin K, vitamin A, and vitamin C in just one cup. (7)
Chlorella is an algae superfood that’s sometimes taken as a nutritional supplement. It’s a complete protein source, made up of 50-60% protein containing all nine amino acids. (8) It’s also a good source of iron, and the high levels of vitamin C present help your body absorb the iron. (9)
Finally, chlorella is often used to aid in detoxing, and animal studies have shown that it’s helpful in removing harmful compounds from the body. (10)
One cup of raw spinach will get you 56% of your daily vitamin A and all of your vitamin K. (11) They’re also home to antioxidants beta-carotene and lutein, which have been associated with reducing your risk of cancer. (12) Spinach can even improve heart health and lower blood pressure.
A month’s supply of Power Greens Boost costs $34.95, which is pretty affordable. A lot of customers like to mix it into their regular Shakeology shakes.
7. Vital Reds
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
Vital Reds is a dietary supplement made from a concentrated polyphenol blend. It’s a quick-dissolve powder that comes in red berry flavor and is free of artificial sweeteners, soy, sugar, and lectin.
Formulated by Dr. Steven Gundry, this superfood powder claims to boost energy, improve digestion, and improve skin health using a unique blend of super fruits. One serving has 10 calories, and some of the primary ingredients include organic apple peel, Aronia berry extract, mulberry fruit, cranberry, mango, acai, blueberry, pomegranate, and black currant.
Polyphenols are micronutrients that come from plant-based foods, especially berries. They’ve been proven to promote beneficial microorganisms in the digestive system and even increase lifespan. One study showed that people who took 650 mg per day of polyphenols had a 30% lower mortality rate than people who took less than 500 mg per day. (13)
The polyphenol blend in Vital Reds is 1,540 mg per service, which is more than enough to see an impact on your health. In addition, it includes two secondary blends – a metabolic boosting blend and a digestive support blend – for a holistic approach to nutrition.
6. Athletic Greens
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
Athletic Greens has become pretty popular in the superfood greens powder department. This isn’t surprising when you see the list of models, physicians, and even internet celebs like Tim Ferriss who have recommended the supplement.
They market themselves as “the only whole food supplement that unlocks your body’s true potential.”
What Athletic Greens has done is put a decade of research into creating a product that fills all the nutritional gaps in our modern diet. One scoop contains 11 supplements as well as the antioxidant equivalent of 12 servings of vegetables.
Athletic Greens contains 75 natural, quality ingredients including spirulina, lecithin, chlorella, organic wheat grass powder, pea protein, dairy-free probiotics, and a super mushroom complex.
The proteins and vegetable blends provide you with nutrients and minerals while the probiotics promote digestive health. The mushroom blend incorporates shiitake and reishi mushrooms, both of which have been shown to promote a longer, healthier life and even possibly protect against cancer. (14)
5. Vega Protein & Greens
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
Vega’s plant-based Protein & Greens protein shake uses non-GMO veggies and greens to pack 20 grams of plant protein into one shake. The powder comes in vanilla, chocolate, and berry flavors.
Their proprietary protein blend is made up of pea protein, brown rice protein, hemp protein, and sacha inchi protein.
Pea protein is a fairly new protein that’s become popular with vegetarians and vegans as well as people sensitive to dairy. It’s high in fiber and branched-chain amino acids. Studies also show that it’s more effective than whey protein at triggering the “fullness hormones” in your body. (15)
The blend also contains super nutrient dense plants such as alfalfa, spinach, broccoli, and kale.
4. Organifi Green Juice
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
This superfood powder is USDA organic, gluten free, soy free, dairy free, and vegan, so it’s got most of your dietary restrictions bases covered.
Their unique formula for the Green Juice is infused with coconut and ashwagandha.
Coconut oil has been popular in the health sphere for a while now, but people tend to forget that the whole coconut is actually a powerful super fruit. It’s packed with protein while also supporting digestion and immunity. Studies of cultures that rely heavily on coconuts as part of a daily diet have shown that they are in excellent health and have lower rates of heart disease. (16)
As for ashwagandha, this ancient Ayurvedic medicinal herb helps your body manage stress by reducing cortisol levels, lowers blood sugar, boosts brain function, and even improves mood. More than one human study has shown that it effectively reduces stress and helps with anxiety disorders. (17)
The juice also incorporates high quantities of moringa, spirulina, chlorella, and matcha green tea, which are some of the most nutrient-dense, healthy greens on the planet.
One jar goes for around $69.99, which is definitely not cheap. That being said, it’s one of the most high-quality green superfood powders on the market.
3. Juice Plus+ Greens
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
If you’re looking for a superfood greens powder because you want to get your fruits and veggies in, Juice Plus+ powder concentrates are made up of 48 different fruits, vegetables, and grains – probably more than you even knew existed.
The grains play an integral role by adding even more protein and fiber to your beverage, while the wide range of fruits and vegetables offer a greater diversity of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients than you could possibly get by simply eating the same whole foods every day.
Juice Plus+ ingredients are natural and farm fresh, grown without pesticides, and they’re incorporated into supplements using Juice Plus+’s proprietary juicing and drying process that ensures the plants retain their nutritional value.
Their unique formula comes in chewable, capsule, and shake powder form. Their orchard and garden blend products add whole food nutrition from 20 different nutrition-dense fruits and vegetables, including carrots, broccoli, spinach, kale, beets, and more.
It also contains glucomannan, a fiber that has been proven to significantly reduce hunger and cravings. (18)
There’s no miracle science to the Juice Plus+ formula. Just simple, fresh, nutritious ingredients.
2. It Works! Greens
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
It Works! has blown up in the weight loss sphere over the past few years for their body wraps, but they also sell a number of nutritional supplements and other weight loss products.
Their It Works! Greens blend is a drink powder made up of 52 herbs and superfoods, 34 fruits and veggies, and matcha green tea. It’s non-GMO, soy-free, dairy-free, and vegan and has no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners.
This nutritional superfood drink aims to help you achieve three wellness goals: alkalize, balance, and detoxify.
Alkalizing blends work to restore your body’s pH balance and support your immune system. Alkaline diets are rich in calcium, magnesium, and potassium and get nutrition from fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, all found in the It Works! Greens blend. (19)
It’s believed that consuming more alkalizing nutrients builds immunity and protects from illness and disease. There hasn’t been enough research yet to confirm this.
As for balance, the It Works! Greens blend achieves this by filling dietary gaps in your regular eating habits with additional vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and enzymes.
Detoxification happens thanks to the matcha green tea that’s added. For decades studies have shown that green tea has powerful medicinal properties and can even treat a variety of diseases. (20)
Regardless of whether or not you believe alkaline diets are effective, there’s no arguing that the ingredients in It Works! Greens can improve your overall health.
1. Patriot Power Greens
Click here for the lowest price
Patriot Power Greens is a high-power, all-natural “secret green drink” that supports health, energy, and overall well-being.
They call it a secret because the formula used to be reserved only for the military elite, used basically to restore their youth by sharpening memory and increasing energy and stamina while decreasing their pain response. They claim it’ll make you feel 30 years younger, and now it’s available to the public, so you can go ahead and test it out for yourself.
The unique blend used in Patriot Power Greens contains 20 fruits and vegetables, 10 probiotics, and 6 digestive enzymes all in one single serving.
The fruits and vegetables can be broken down into superfood greens and sea vegetables such as spirulina and seaweed, organic veggies like carrot, kale, broccoli, and spinach, and superfruits such as blueberries, goji berries, amla fruit, and acai.
The seaweed is particularly intriguing since it’s one of the most prominent ingredients. The blend uses three different types of seaweed: kombu, nori, and wakame.
Seaweed is generally higher in nutrients and trace minerals than any other vegetables, including high amounts of B12 and antioxidants. It promotes heart health, boosts the metabolism, helps with thyroid conditions, stabilizes blood sugar levels, strengthens the immune system, and even helps prevent bone diseases…all conditions associated with old age. (21) (22) (23) (24) (25)
Most of the superfoods incorporated into Patriot Power Greens, such as papaya, blueberry, broccoli, spinach, and pomegranate, are also known to have powerful anti-aging properties.
Patriot Power Greens does not contain any dairy, gluten, wheat, soy, shellfish, egg, fish, tree nuts, or peanuts, so it’s safe to consume for more allergies.
Part 2: Why should you use superfood green powders? What are their benefits and side effects?
Even with a balanced diet, it’s very difficult to get all of the vitamins and minerals our body needs on a daily basis.
Superfood green powders serve two purposes: to enhance the nutrition we already provide ourselves in the form of whole foods and to fill in nutritional gaps where our diet is lacking, all in a convenient and easy method.
Green drinks are a health and nutrition staple for good reason. But are there any risks or side effects?
Benefits of superfood green powders
One of the biggest nutritional benefits of green drinks comes from the high levels of antioxidants found in the superfoods they tend to contain.
Antioxidants essentially fight free radicals, which are molecules in your body that seek to damage your cells and can even lead to cancer. Studies have shown that the typical Western diet is so lacking in antioxidants that the biggest source of them for most people is their morning cup of coffee. (26)
Other benefits will depend on the ingredients in any given superfood green powder.
Many contain kale and spirulina, which are two of the most nutrition-dense foods you can consume. Together, they provide more than your daily recommended amount of vitamin A, vitamin K, and vitamin C, as well as a good amount of your vitamin B, protein, copper, magnesium, and iron. Spirulina also has anti-inflammatory properties. (27)
Other popular ingredients include berries such as acai and pomegranate, which can lower cholesterol, and seeds like chia and flax are a great source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Many also incorporate detoxifying and medicinal herbs as well as fibers that suppress appetite.
Another benefit of superfood green powders is convenience. You get all of this nutrition packed into a quick and easy drink that you can take with you on the go, and usually at an affordable price. While some superfood green powders may seem expensive, if you tried to get all of the nutrition they pack through whole foods, you’d spend a lot more money.
Side effects of superfood green powders
Some people will use superfood green powders as a substitute for their vegetables and fruits. Not eating a healthy, balanced diet, even if you are taking green powder supplements, can lead to malnutrition, weight gain, and more.
Most side effects will depend on the quality of the green drink you’re purchasing as well as its individual ingredients and how your body reacts to them.
Chlorella, a popular green powder ingredient due to its nutrition and impressive range of benefits, has caused reactions on rare occasions that include diarrhea, nausea, gas, and stomach cramping in the first week of use. (27)
This is a normal reaction to many superfood supplements, as increased fiber consumption can lead to mild digestive problems such as constipation and upset stomach.
Your body may not be used to getting so much fiber and nutrition, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need it. It just means our digestion has adapted to a diet that is largely processed and lacking in nutrients.
Recommended dosage
This will vary depending on the product. It’s always important to read the dosage instructions on the label before consuming any superfood green powder.
Most require that you add one or two scoops to water, juice, or a smoothie. Typically you’ll consume one per day.
Superfood green powder FAQ
What is a supergreen? Supergreens are superfoods that are also green vegetables. They’re essentially extremely nutrient-dense, providing even more vitamins and minerals to your body than your typical vegetables and greens. Some examples of supergreens include kale, spinach, algae, and seaweed.
What is in green powder? Green powder is a powdered blend of concentrated, dehydrated supergreens. It’s like a multivitamin but even more powerful because it contains additional nutrients such as probiotics, prebiotics, detoxifying herbs and minerals, and antioxidants.
What is in Patriot Power greens? Patriot Power Greens contains a blend of 20 different highly nutritious fruits and vegetables, 10 probiotics, and 6 digestive enzymes.
What are the benefits of green superfoods? Green superfoods provide your body with a concentrated supply of the vitamins and minerals it needs to stay healthy. They can boost your immune system, help you detox, and improve your digestion, among other benefits.
What does green juice do for your body? Green juice doesn’t just provide your body with additional nutrients. The ingredients it contains can actually help your body absorb vitamins and minerals from other foods more effectively.
What does a superfood do for you? Superfoods contain high levels of antioxidants, which improve your health and may protect against cancer. They also contain healthy fats, such as omega-3s, and fiber which can prevent heart disease and lower cholesterol, and they help you get your daily dose of iron, magnesium, calcium, and more. Finally, they improve digestion, boost your immune system, and leave you feeling energized and refreshed.
Do powdered greens expire? Yes. Most have a shelf-life of around two years, but check the expiration date on your product. You can still consume powdered greens past the expiration date – they won’t hurt you, but they will lose their potency.
Summary
Getting the proper nutrition your body needs on a daily basis is difficult, especially when you’re too busy to cook three meals every day or on a budget.
Superfood green powders are one of the most effective and convenient ways to make sure that you’re getting a healthy daily dose of all the important vitamins and minerals your body needs. Of course, different green powders come with different ingredients and levels of quality.
It’s important to do your research and select a superfood green powder that will truly provide your body with the holistic nutrition it needs to stay healthy.

Superfood green powders are an easy and convenient way to get your fruits, vegetables, vitamins, and nutrients. They even come packed with digestive enzymes, probiotics, and special herbs and superfoods that support immunity, heart health, and more.
This list ranks the most nutrient-rich, effective superfood green powders on the market so you can make sure you’re getting quality.
Part 1 ranks this year’s 9 best fat superfood green powders in order, and part 2 will go over how they work and answer some FAQs.
9. AdvoGreens Greens Powder by Advocare
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
Greens Powder by Advocare is a phytonutrient green shake that is plant-based and high in fiber.
Phytonutrients are natural compounds found in plants. Our modern diets make it difficult to get sufficient phytonutrients, which have both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They boost the immune system, promote eye health, improve cardiovascular health, and even protect against cancer.
In fact, a study done on rats shows that compounds found in a certain type of phytonutrient – glucosinolates – actually inactivates carcinogens and protects cells from DNA damage. (1)
The ingredients in AdvoGreens include a greens and vegetables blend that’s rich in antioxidants, and vitamins A, C, and E, an enzyme, prebiotic, and probiotic blend that supports digestive health, and a fiber blend to manage digestion and appetite.
If you check the ingredients list, it’s packed with superfoods and nutrient-dense proteins like spinach, alfalfa juice, wheat grass, broccoli, flax seed, chia seed, kale, carrot, spirulina, barley grass, green tea, green coffee, and more.
Spirulina was used by the Aztecs and has even been proposed by NASA to be used as space food. (2) If you look at the density of protein, vitamin B, copper, iron, magnesium, and potassium per gram of dried spirulina powder, it might be the most nutritious food on the planet. (3)
Kale is almost as nutrient-dense and is known to lower cholesterol and fight cancer. (4) (5) Meanwhile, green tea extract can help you focus while burning fat and boosting your metabolism. (6)
The number of health benefits found in the AdvoGreens ingredients list is endless.
8. Shakeology Power Greens Boost
Click here for the lowest price
Rather than give you trace amounts of 100 different ingredients, Shakeology’s Power Greens Boost focuses on giving your body high levels of the most important nutrients through a hand-picked selection of powerful superfoods. It’s also free of artificial sweeteners, artificial colors, and preservatives.
Power Greens Boost puts the spotlight on three important ingredients: kale, chlorella, and spinach.
We’ve all heard about the benefits of kale. It’s one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the plant, with over a dozen important vitamins and minerals and well over your recommended daily amount of vitamin K, vitamin A, and vitamin C in just one cup. (7)
Chlorella is an algae superfood that’s sometimes taken as a nutritional supplement. It’s a complete protein source, made up of 50-60% protein containing all nine amino acids. (8) It’s also a good source of iron, and the high levels of vitamin C present help your body absorb the iron. (9)
Finally, chlorella is often used to aid in detoxing, and animal studies have shown that it’s helpful in removing harmful compounds from the body. (10)
One cup of raw spinach will get you 56% of your daily vitamin A and all of your vitamin K. (11) They’re also home to antioxidants beta-carotene and lutein, which have been associated with reducing your risk of cancer. (12) Spinach can even improve heart health and lower blood pressure.
A month’s supply of Power Greens Boost costs $34.95, which is pretty affordable. A lot of customers like to mix it into their regular Shakeology shakes.
7. Vital Reds
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
Vital Reds is a dietary supplement made from a concentrated polyphenol blend. It’s a quick-dissolve powder that comes in red berry flavor and is free of artificial sweeteners, soy, sugar, and lectin.
Formulated by Dr. Steven Gundry, this superfood powder claims to boost energy, improve digestion, and improve skin health using a unique blend of super fruits. One serving has 10 calories, and some of the primary ingredients include organic apple peel, Aronia berry extract, mulberry fruit, cranberry, mango, acai, blueberry, pomegranate, and black currant.
Polyphenols are micronutrients that come from plant-based foods, especially berries. They’ve been proven to promote beneficial microorganisms in the digestive system and even increase lifespan. One study showed that people who took 650 mg per day of polyphenols had a 30% lower mortality rate than people who took less than 500 mg per day. (13)
The polyphenol blend in Vital Reds is 1,540 mg per service, which is more than enough to see an impact on your health. In addition, it includes two secondary blends – a metabolic boosting blend and a digestive support blend – for a holistic approach to nutrition.
6. Athletic Greens
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
Athletic Greens has become pretty popular in the superfood greens powder department. This isn’t surprising when you see the list of models, physicians, and even internet celebs like Tim Ferriss who have recommended the supplement.
They market themselves as “the only whole food supplement that unlocks your body’s true potential.”
What Athletic Greens has done is put a decade of research into creating a product that fills all the nutritional gaps in our modern diet. One scoop contains 11 supplements as well as the antioxidant equivalent of 12 servings of vegetables.
Athletic Greens contains 75 natural, quality ingredients including spirulina, lecithin, chlorella, organic wheat grass powder, pea protein, dairy-free probiotics, and a super mushroom complex.
The proteins and vegetable blends provide you with nutrients and minerals while the probiotics promote digestive health. The mushroom blend incorporates shiitake and reishi mushrooms, both of which have been shown to promote a longer, healthier life and even possibly protect against cancer. (14)
5. Vega Protein & Greens
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
Vega’s plant-based Protein & Greens protein shake uses non-GMO veggies and greens to pack 20 grams of plant protein into one shake. The powder comes in vanilla, chocolate, and berry flavors.
Their proprietary protein blend is made up of pea protein, brown rice protein, hemp protein, and sacha inchi protein.
Pea protein is a fairly new protein that’s become popular with vegetarians and vegans as well as people sensitive to dairy. It’s high in fiber and branched-chain amino acids. Studies also show that it’s more effective than whey protein at triggering the “fullness hormones” in your body. (15)
The blend also contains super nutrient dense plants such as alfalfa, spinach, broccoli, and kale.
4. Organifi Green Juice
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
This superfood powder is USDA organic, gluten free, soy free, dairy free, and vegan, so it’s got most of your dietary restrictions bases covered.
Their unique formula for the Green Juice is infused with coconut and ashwagandha.
Coconut oil has been popular in the health sphere for a while now, but people tend to forget that the whole coconut is actually a powerful super fruit. It’s packed with protein while also supporting digestion and immunity. Studies of cultures that rely heavily on coconuts as part of a daily diet have shown that they are in excellent health and have lower rates of heart disease. (16)
As for ashwagandha, this ancient Ayurvedic medicinal herb helps your body manage stress by reducing cortisol levels, lowers blood sugar, boosts brain function, and even improves mood. More than one human study has shown that it effectively reduces stress and helps with anxiety disorders. (17)
The juice also incorporates high quantities of moringa, spirulina, chlorella, and matcha green tea, which are some of the most nutrient-dense, healthy greens on the planet.
One jar goes for around $69.99, which is definitely not cheap. That being said, it’s one of the most high-quality green superfood powders on the market.
3. Juice Plus+ Greens
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
If you’re looking for a superfood greens powder because you want to get your fruits and veggies in, Juice Plus+ powder concentrates are made up of 48 different fruits, vegetables, and grains – probably more than you even knew existed.
The grains play an integral role by adding even more protein and fiber to your beverage, while the wide range of fruits and vegetables offer a greater diversity of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients than you could possibly get by simply eating the same whole foods every day.
Juice Plus+ ingredients are natural and farm fresh, grown without pesticides, and they’re incorporated into supplements using Juice Plus+’s proprietary juicing and drying process that ensures the plants retain their nutritional value.
Their unique formula comes in chewable, capsule, and shake powder form. Their orchard and garden blend products add whole food nutrition from 20 different nutrition-dense fruits and vegetables, including carrots, broccoli, spinach, kale, beets, and more.
It also contains glucomannan, a fiber that has been proven to significantly reduce hunger and cravings. (18)
There’s no miracle science to the Juice Plus+ formula. Just simple, fresh, nutritious ingredients.
2. It Works! Greens
Click here for the lowest price on Amazon
It Works! has blown up in the weight loss sphere over the past few years for their body wraps, but they also sell a number of nutritional supplements and other weight loss products.
Their It Works! Greens blend is a drink powder made up of 52 herbs and superfoods, 34 fruits and veggies, and matcha green tea. It’s non-GMO, soy-free, dairy-free, and vegan and has no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners.
This nutritional superfood drink aims to help you achieve three wellness goals: alkalize, balance, and detoxify.
Alkalizing blends work to restore your body’s pH balance and support your immune system. Alkaline diets are rich in calcium, magnesium, and potassium and get nutrition from fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, all found in the It Works! Greens blend. (19)
It’s believed that consuming more alkalizing nutrients builds immunity and protects from illness and disease. There hasn’t been enough research yet to confirm this.
As for balance, the It Works! Greens blend achieves this by filling dietary gaps in your regular eating habits with additional vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and enzymes.
Detoxification happens thanks to the matcha green tea that’s added. For decades studies have shown that green tea has powerful medicinal properties and can even treat a variety of diseases. (20)
Regardless of whether or not you believe alkaline diets are effective, there’s no arguing that the ingredients in It Works! Greens can improve your overall health.
1. Patriot Power Greens
Click here for the lowest price
Patriot Power Greens is a high-power, all-natural “secret green drink” that supports health, energy, and overall well-being.
They call it a secret because the formula used to be reserved only for the military elite, used basically to restore their youth by sharpening memory and increasing energy and stamina while decreasing their pain response. They claim it’ll make you feel 30 years younger, and now it’s available to the public, so you can go ahead and test it out for yourself.
The unique blend used in Patriot Power Greens contains 20 fruits and vegetables, 10 probiotics, and 6 digestive enzymes all in one single serving.
The fruits and vegetables can be broken down into superfood greens and sea vegetables such as spirulina and seaweed, organic veggies like carrot, kale, broccoli, and spinach, and superfruits such as blueberries, goji berries, amla fruit, and acai.
The seaweed is particularly intriguing since it’s one of the most prominent ingredients. The blend uses three different types of seaweed: kombu, nori, and wakame.
Seaweed is generally higher in nutrients and trace minerals than any other vegetables, including high amounts of B12 and antioxidants. It promotes heart health, boosts the metabolism, helps with thyroid conditions, stabilizes blood sugar levels, strengthens the immune system, and even helps prevent bone diseases…all conditions associated with old age. (21) (22) (23) (24) (25)
Most of the superfoods incorporated into Patriot Power Greens, such as papaya, blueberry, broccoli, spinach, and pomegranate, are also known to have powerful anti-aging properties.
Patriot Power Greens does not contain any dairy, gluten, wheat, soy, shellfish, egg, fish, tree nuts, or peanuts, so it’s safe to consume for more allergies.

Even with a balanced diet, it’s very difficult to get all of the vitamins and minerals our body needs on a daily basis.

Summer Green Smoothie Recipes
Whether making a green smoothie or adding summer greens to a fruit smoothie, these blended concoctions are healthy and revitalizing.
The last year or so of high school through college, a close group of friends and I would go rollerblading or bike riding along the river. We would travel between three and 10 miles each trip and when we returned we would quench our thirst by preparing oversized, revitalizing smoothies. The smoothies acted as our vegetable, mineral, fruit, and protein source. The blender masticated our drink, which allowed us to take in a large amount of nutrient-rich calories to feed and rebuild our muscles and aid in our digestion.
Today, I still enjoy a fruit- and vegetable-based smoothie multiple times a week after a hearty workout in the backyard. Smoothies can act as a meal replacement and are easy to consume on the go. The main difference between my smoothies today compared to my college years is that my green smoothies presently change according to the season and what I am currently growing in my yard. Since I am blending produce that I have an overabundance of from my garden, I am saving money and reducing food waste.
Ready to Start Your Own Backyard Flock?
Get tips and tricks for starting your new flock from our chicken experts. Download your FREE guide today! YES! I want this Free Guide »
One of my favorite tips for creating a smoothie is to prepare it in the container you are going to drink it from prior to putting it in the blender. This way you know exactly how much liquid and vegetables will fit. This method allows you to easily rinse out the blender before it gets hard to clean. Enjoy these spring and summer themed smoothies that you can make straight from your garden. Blend responsibly and stay healthy!
InGREENtients
These leafy greens are popular for green smoothie recipes. They can be combined or used individually to form the leafy green portion of any recipe. The best way to decide what makes it in the final formula is to see what is growing best in the garden at the time of the smoothie, whether I’m growing arugula from seed or planting kale.
• Arugula • Beet greens • Bok Choy • Collard greens • Dandelion greens • Green and red leaf lettuce • Kale • Parsley • Romaine lettuce • Spinach • Swiss chard • Turnip green
Citrus Celebration
Citrus Celebration
2 peeled citrus (lemon, orange, tangerine or grapefruit) 3 cups leafy greens 1 banana Half a cucumber A sprig of cilantro Chunk of peeled ginger 8 ounces of filtered water
After a year or so of fighting to keep my cucumber vines alive I have now found a few varieties that do well in my area–including the exotic, yet tiny, Gherkin. Now, I am happily being inundated with these juicy, high water content, fruits. The combination of cucumbers and freshly peeled citrus is a cause for a celebration. The piece of peeled ginger brings a spicy quality to the drink, as well as aiding in digestions, reducing nausea and fighting the common cold and flu.
Powerful Parsley
1 cup fresh parsley (Italian, Japanese or curly) 1 ripe mango, peeled and pitted (papaya or kiwi are great alternatives) 2 large ripe bananas, peeled 3 cups leafy greens 8 ounces of filtered water
Blend until smooth
Parsley is not just a garnish. Parsley easily grows in my herb bed and I consider it a superfood. One cup of parsley contains around 22 calories, 2 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber. It is also a complete protein containing all of the essential amino acids. One cup of parsley contains 3.7 milligrams of iron, making it the richest source of iron from any leafy green. Since papayas and bananas are easy to obtain from my Southern garden, this green smoothie is a popular one to make. Peeling, cutting and freezing the bananas prior to making the smoothie will result in a refreshing frozen treat.
Mighty Mulberry
Mighty Mulberry
1/2 cup of mulberries (blackberries, raspberries as alternatives) 2 ripe pears or apples, chopped 1 1/2 cup almond milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blackberries are great, but growing a mulberry tree that is thornless and does not take up a large footprint on your property seems like a better alternative. Mulberries support our immune system, provide antioxidants and can help maintain our blood sugar. Mulberry trees are generally hardy in Zones 4 to 8.
To make your own almond milk, soak almonds in water for 24 to 48 hours. Rinse the almonds and blend the soaked almonds with water until smooth.
PB & J Greens
PB&J Greens
2 cups leafy greens 1 cup strawberries 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter 1 banana 8 ounces of filtered water Protein powder (optional)
If you are craving the comfort of your childhood, this healthy alternative to the classic PB & J will do your body good. Fresh strawberries, leafy greens, and protein-rich peanut butter will give you the taste of nostalgia without the empty calories of white bread. If you don’t grow your own strawberries, you can visit a you-pick farm or purchase them in a flat for a fraction of the store cost.
Tomato Twister
4 medium carrots 6 medium tomatoes Pinch of salt and black pepper 1 stalk of celery 2 tablespoons of lemon juice Hot pepper to taste
Just as the growing carrots and celery are ending their season, tomatoes and peppers start coming in by the bushels. An added benefit of blending fresh tomatoes is that the small blemishes disappear in the whirlwind the blender creates. Raw tomato juice provides us with vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamins B1, B3, B5, B6, B7, vitamin C, folate, iron, potassium, magnesium, chromium, choline, zinc, and phosphorus.

Natural Sleep Aids
Sleep is an essential part of a human habit. There are two major things that happen when we sleep:
Important chemicals are released to our immune system during sleep,
Growth hormone is secreted for growing children. In conclusion, a person is more prone to infection and diseases when deprived of sleep. Also, a child’s height can be stunted when sleep requirement is not met.
What happens when we are chronically deprived of sleep?
Our body’s ability to store and process carbohydrates may be affected, thus, can make us gain weight. This is because the level of hormones is altered, which in turn affects our appetite.
We tend to fall asleep during daytime when we are supposed to be on the go. This may cause us to commit fatal errors like in making medical decisions, or commit mishaps in air traffic, or simply fall asleep when driving behind the wheel, thus the road accidents.
Impatience, irritability, moodiness and inability to concentrate may be a result of sleep loss. It can also make you too tired to do the important things that you like to do.
Irregular heartbeat, increased levels of stress hormone, and hypertension has been linked to sleep disorders.
There are a number of natural sleep aids and in this article, I’m going to enumerate six.
1. Massage Therapy and Sleep. Our autonomic nervous system is divided into two parts: the sympathetic and parasympathetic. The parasympathetic stabilizes the sympathetic. Through massage, the parasympathetic is triggered and enables the body to relax.
Massage can get rid of the day’s stress, therefore enhancing sleep. Massage can reduce tension in the muscles, do away with headaches, decrease medicinal side-effects when taking pills for sleep, allay stress, helps in weight control, loosen up nervous tension, relieve persistent fatigue syndrome, ease lower back pain, and enhance blood circulation .
So if stress and tension are the reasons why you can’t sleep well, you might be happy to know massage therapy can improve sleep patterns. In fact, some even fall asleep while they are having a professional massage.
2. Aromatherapy and Sleep. A type of alternative medicine that makes use aromatic compounds to influence your health and mood. Traditionally, these compounds are obtained from plants and are prepared as essential oils.
Essential oils, phytoncides, absolutes, infusions, carrier oils, and herbal distillates are employed as aromatic compounds. Although they all differ in structure, they are still considered traditional aromatherapy because they are all plant based. Specific aromas are famous for promoting good, restful sleep.

It is extracted from the root of its plant. These plants can be found in some areas of North America, Asia, and Europe. Although there are more than 200 species of valerian, the V. officinalis (of the Eurasian variety) is more famous and most often used as medicine. Valerian root is notorious for its sweaty socks smell.
Valerian is available as a dietary supplement. It can be in a liquid or powder form, in pill form, or as a dried herb ( in teas). To aid sleep, it is most effective when taken just before bedtime. Valerian is not known to interfere with REM sleep.

Deep breathing: Close your eyes. Take deep breaths slowly. Make each breath much deeper than the previous breath.
Progressive muscle relaxation: This is done by tensing all your muscles tightly then relaxing them completely. You should do this starting with your toes and then work your way up to your feet until you reach the top of your head.
Visualizing a peaceful, restful place: Close your eyes. Imagine a place where you want to be or an activity that is peaceful and calming for you. Concentrate on the calming effect that this activity or place makes you feel.
6. Food and Diet. Diet is especially essential in the treatment of sleep disorders, and it is necessary to eliminate food intolerances as a root cause. In one research, sleeplessness of infants was done away with by eliminating cow’s milk from their diet. When cow’s milk was reintroduced again, sleeplessness commenced again. In conclusion, there are foods that promote restful sleep while others hinder it.
Facts to Remember about Food
High protein food like meat can reduce sleep. Protein can slow down the synthesis of serotonin, thus making a person more alert. Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand boost serotonin production and therefore has a calming effect on the mind and nervous system.
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) may cause a stimulating effect for some people. Avoid Chinese food because it can contain MSG food.
Stay clear of tobacco and cigarettes. Nicotine found in cigarettes and tobacco is a neurostimulant.
Caffeinated beverages and alcohol disturb sleep patterns. Caffeine is a stimulant and sensitivity to it can vary from person to person. Alcohol also can cause sleep-impairment. Not only does alcohol cause the release of adrenaline , it also disrupts serotonin levels. This is done when alcohol, not only cause the release of adrenaline but mess up the transportation of tryptophan into the brain. And because the brain relies on tryptophan as its source of serotonin, sleep cycle is disrupted. As we can recall, serotonin is neurotransmitter that instigate sleep.
Heavy meals should be avoided before bedtime. It is harder to digest heavy meals because our digestive system slows down. Also, our body would need extra energy to digest heavy meals and would make us wake up tired in the morning.
Foods That Aid Sleep: Chlorophyll-rich food (green, leafy vegetables), microalgae, (chlorella and spirulina, whole grains (brown rice, whole wheat, and oats), mushrooms, fruit ( especially lemons and mulberries), seeds ( such as jujube and chia seeds, dill, basil, glass of warm milk, and lettuce.
Foods to Avoid: coffee, tea, spicy foods, cola, chocolate, stimulant drugs, alcohol, refined carbohydrates, additives, preservatives, non-organic foods that contain pesticides, canned foods.

What You Need To Know About Gundry MD Primal Plants
Gundry MD Primal Plants is a powdered supplement that you add to water in order to make an apple flavoured health drink. It is high in antioxidant polyphenols and probiotics and is designed as a general health supplement that may improve skin, energy levels, digestion and weight loss. This looks to be a good quality health supplement but it is expensive and there is a lack of independent customer feedback. In our opinion it may be simply too pricey for most people to take on a regular basis. The fact that you are encouraged to sign up to auto-ship is also a matter for concern.
What Are The Side Effects Of Gundry MD Primal Plants?
Side effects may include bloating, gas, stomach cramps diarrhoea, itchiness, facial flushing, nausea, restlessness, increased risk of bleeding during and after surgery, and risk of introducing infection if health is already compromised.
How Much Does Gundry MD Primal Plants Cost?
Gundry MD Primal Plants is expensive. 1 x jar (one month’s supply) costs $99.00. Shipping is free to US addresses.
You can benefit from savings if you sign up for regular orders (auto-ship) and join the VIP club. This is where new supplies are delivered to you each month and your bank account or credit card is billed automatically. Savings can be as much as a 60% reduction from everything on the Gundry MD website.
You can also buy Gundry MD Primal Plants via Amazon USA. However, it is the same price as buying direct from the official website. In our opinion you could buy a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables for the same price.
Our Verdict On Gundry MD Primal Plants
We quite like Gundry MD Primal Plants, but at a cost of almost $100 a month, this supplement is very expensive. We feel that for the same price you could drastically improve your diet with real food, and if you combined this with increasing your exercise, health benefits would probably be superior. Changing your diet and lifestyle is always the best way to improve your health. Some people may be tempted to ignore doing this because they have taken this supplement.
In addition, we never like a supplement that comes with auto-ship as a buying option. These agreements can be hard to cancel and although there is a customer help line with Gundry MD, will this really be as easy to cancel as it sounds? That said this company does look reputable and we love the fact that this supplement is covered by a guarantee.
Despite the fact that Gundry MD Primal Plants has been devised by a respected doctor in order to help people’s health, in our opinion it is simply unaffordable for most people to take on a regular basis as recommended, so we have to reject Gundry MD Primal Plants.
The most popular consumer choice in 2017 is Phentaslim.
With a combination of proven ingredients, superb customer service and a 60-day money-back guarantee, Phentaslim is making big waves in the diet world.
Find out why thousands of people are choosing Phentaslim to achieve their weight loss goals, and why it's also the editor's top selection.

Gundry MD Primal Plants Review
Gundry MD Primal Plants is an apple flavoured powder that you add to water in order to make a health drink. According to the product information it has numerous benefits to health and will help improve skin tone, body weight issues, energy levels and digestion. This is appealing because however healthy we imagine ourselves to be there is always room for improvement in these areas! Of course, if you do have a specific issue Gundry MD Primal Plants looks like it may provide a safe and healthy way of making a positive difference.
The powder contains a wide array of superfoods such as broccoli, fennel seeds and mulberry leaf; all of which are high in micronutrients called polyphenols. There are thousands of different varieties of these and put simply polyphenols are a type of antioxidant that will have a beneficial effect upon health, aging and resistance to disease.
Gundry MD Primal Plants Facts
A month’s supply costs $99.00
Contains 25 active ingredients
Devised by medically trained physician Dr Stephen Gundry
Although a healthy diet rich in vegetables and fruits will deliver the same benefits, most people do not consume adequate green stuff in their daily diet. Gundry MD Primal Plants makes it easier for people to top up on their vital polyphenols and other vital nutrients as well.
It is important to say right now that this does not mean you should simply stop eating fruit and veg and take this supplement as a replacement. Natural foods contain an array of health goodies such as fibre and other micronutrients. In addition if you are looking to lose weight and improve health, filling up on healthy fruit and veg will take up the space that could be filled by processed foods.
How to Take Gundry MD Primal Plants
Mix a small scoop of Gundry MD Primal Plants into water, green tea, or other beverage. Drink once a day.
Gundry Primal Plants contains five specific formulas. There is the Superfood Greens Blend, Heart Health Blend, Metabolic Enhancing Blend, Digestive Support Blend and finally the Probiotic Blend.
It also provides you with 2g of dietary fibre per serving and your recommended daily intake of vitamins and minerals.
All in all there are 25 separate active ingredients in this supplement.
Gundry MD Primal Plants Concerns:
The price – if the doctor really wanted to improve the health of people, surely this supplement could have been made more affordable
Lack of independent customer feedback – does this supplement really work as described?
Even though the supplement contains natural ingredients, there may be side effects
Gundry Primal Plants looks to be a good quality supplement, but it is expensive. Buy from the site and you are encouraged to “subscribe and save” by signing up to auto-ship. This is where regular supplies are sent to your address each month and your bank or credit card is billed automatically. Because this supplement is supposed to be taken long-term we can see that people may choose this option because it is a cheaper way of buying, but in our experience these types of agreements can be hard to cancel.
That said, Gundry MD are open about their auto-ship option (VIP program) and it is unlikely that anyone would sign up accidentally. According to the terms and conditions you can cancel at any time by calling the customer support phone number.
If you are considering trying any of the Gundry MD supplements we advise that you try it first as a one time buyer before you decide if this is something you want to continue with on a long term basis.
What Does Gundry MD Primal Plants Claim To Do?
According to the product information,
This 25-ingredient formula combines polyphenol-rich green superfood with cutting-edge digestive & metabolic support blends.
It is,
Formulated to help promote better digestion, increase energy levels, and give you more youthful, healthier skin…from the inside out!
The key benefits are outlined:
Healthier looking, radiant skin.
The feeling of confidence as you begins to get your body weight under control.
Improved digestion with less gas, bloating, and indigestion.
Enhanced energy levels.
According to the product information, these effects are,
Based on medical and scientific research, and on reports from real Primal Plants users.
Dr Gundry stands by his formula:
I’ve spent over 30 years in the medical field, and I put everything I’ve learned as a medical researcher and a heart surgeon into this formula. I’m completely confident that it will work for you, just like it has for my patients all over the country.
Does Gundry MD Primal Plants Work?
Gundry MD Primal Plants is undoubtedly a good quality health supplement. We would not disagree with a qualified doctor and surgeon of 30-years experience after all. However, there are plenty of ways to stay fit and healthy without taking a supplement. Improving your diet to include more fruit and vegetables is a healthy life style choice that will probably be more effective in the long term. In addition, taking some regular exercise will improve circulation and heart health as well as energy levels, weight loss, mood and even your skin.
You cannot drink a supplement every day and expect to get the same benefits of a healthy diet and lifestyle. There really is no quick fix solution. In our opinion, Gundry MD Primal Plants is going to be good for your general health but it will not be an adequate substitute for sensible lifestyle choices.
What Are The Ingredients of Gundry MD Primal Plants?
Serving size is equal to one 4.9g scoop.
Superfood Greens Blend (1000mg): This includes spinach, broccoli, kale, cinnamon bark, Gymnaema sylvestre leaf, fennel seed, mulberry leaf extract, pine bark extract, Rhodiola rosea extract, diindolmethane, berberine HCA.
