GREENS POWDER
Green superfoods have been popular for some time, and have been gaining momentum in recent years, as more and more people are turned onto healthy living, and embracing supplementation in increasing numbers. For those of us seeking to improve our health, the notion of green superfood supplements is indeed, quite appealing. The numerous benefits of greens powder have resulted in their being uniquely positioned somewhere in between food and medicine. They provide a certain degree of health insurance by completing our nutritional profile, as well as help increase energy, enhance immunity, and improve our overall sense of well-being. This has made them more enticing for consumers, who will happily pay a higher premium for them. Of the many green superfoods on the market, the powdered form is by far the most popular, for several reasons.
Greens Powder Supplements
Absorption
Green superfood powders are recognized as food by the body and are thus treated as such, allowing nutrients to quickly pass into the bloodstream to be transported to our various organs and tissues, where they are needed. Conversely, a tablet has to be broken down by the body to be absorbed into the system. This takes time. Whereas the powder form, when mixed with liquid, enables immediate absorption as it does not have to convert a solid substance into liquid form for absorption; therefore, the onset of action is quicker (i.e., a faster boost of energy!).
Dosing
Green superfood powders are both flexible and convenient because the dosing (half a scoop, a full scoop, or more) can be adapted up or down to suit your needs of the moment. Green combination powders are ideal to blend into your morning smoothie bowl, post-workout protein shake, or added to any number of recipes to bolster the nutritional content.
Storage
The drawback of powders is that they do not have the same shelf-life as capsules (which may be kept an extra 2 years on average) and must also be refrigerated once open to maintain potency, freshness, and flavour, not ideal if you intend to bring it along with you to work, or the gym. Once opened, powders must also be hermetically sealed every time they go back in the fridge since they are sensitive to moisture, and hardening, which is why there is usually a silica packet inside the bottle.
Greens Powder Excipients
Powdered super green blends usually contain fewer excipients than tablets and capsules, but they do typically contain fillers which can cause digestive issues in certain individuals. Always read labels carefully when selecting your product to make sure you aren’t inadvertently taking in questionable ingredients, or substances you are allergic/sensitive to.
Greens Powder Potency
Green superfood supplements come in a range of different potencies, and there is no set standard for daily intake. Always read and follow label instructions carefully.
Final Thoughts
When shopping for a green superfood powder, always check the order of the ingredients and the sugar content. If it contains a sweetener, make sure that it’s from natural sources, and that it’s last on the list (i.e. the further down the list an ingredient is, the less of it is present), and that all the “green” superfoods are listed first. If you're looking to fully benefit from all of the health-promoting properties of greens, you'll also want to make sure that there are more greens than fruits in your blend, this is indicative of less sugar and more fibre.
