Greens powders all look the same on the shelf: a green scoop and a long list of superfoods. The difference is in the details. Use these six checks on any greens label, including ours.
1. Every dose is on the label
Many greens powders hide their ingredients in a "proprietary blend" with one total weight. That means you can't tell whether you're getting a real dose of spirulina or a pinch. CLEAN GREENS lists all 30 ingredients with exact amounts.
2. Real amounts of the core greens
Spirulina and chlorella are the workhorses of a greens powder. Look for grams, not milligrams. CLEAN GREENS has 2.5 g organic spirulina and 2 g chlorella in every 10 g scoop, plus barley grass, wheat grass, quinoa and organic reishi.
3. Digestion built in
A good greens powder should support your gut, not just your vitamin count. CLEAN GREENS includes 2 g organic inulin (a prebiotic fibre), an eight-enzyme blend, bromelain, ginger and peppermint.
4. Antioxidants you can identify
Look for named, measurable antioxidant sources. CLEAN GREENS uses Spectra™, a patented blend of 29 fruits, vegetables and herbs, plus pomegranate, milk thistle, tart cherry, cranberry and grape seed.
5. Licensed and manufactured in Canada
Every natural health product sold legally in Canada needs a Natural Product Number (NPN) from Health Canada. Check for it. CLEAN GREENS carries an NPN and is manufactured in our GMP facility in West Kelowna, BC. Learn more in What "Manufactured in Canada" Means.
6. You'll actually drink it
The best greens powder is the one you take every day. CLEAN GREENS comes in Fresh Berries, Lemon-Lime Twist, Pineapple-Mango Tango, Cherry Limeade and Unflavoured.
A note on allergens
CLEAN GREENS contains wheat (from wheat grass), so it isn't a fit if you avoid gluten.
