A good source of manganese, which helps promote strong and healthy bones, as well as phosphorus, which is important to kidney function, helping the body eliminate toxins and waste.

Acacia:

A prebiotic, soluble fiber that can aid in lowering cholesterol levels and keeping your blood sugar in check. Prebiotics are essentially ‘food’ for the good bacteria and other beneficial organisms in the gut. Acacia can also aid in improving calcium absorption.

Turmeric Extract:

Turmeric contains high levels of curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory with antioxidant properties. Our proprietary full spectrum extraction process gently extracts the full array of phytonutrients, offering the complete signature of the herb in its most potent and pure form. 1 serving of our Probiotic Super Greens contains 2.3 grams of fresh turmeric powder.

FAQ: Is it gluten free?

A: Yes! All of our grass juices and greens powders are gluten free and packed in a gluten free facility. All of our grass juice powders are harvested from plants that have not yet sprouted any seeds - therefore there is no gluten present when our grasses are picked. 

Grass juice powders VS grass powders:

Our grass juice powders (barley grass, wheat grass, oat grass, kamut and alfalfa) are made from young, nutrient-dense grasses in their vegetable states. Compared to most other grass powders, which are made from grasses that have been ground into a powder, our grass juice powders are actually made from sprouted grass which have first been juiced in their vegetable state before being dried and turned into a powder. Nutrient dense grasses need to first be juiced in order to unlock the vitamins and minerals which also helps to promote optimal digestion and the assimilation of phytonutrients. 

Our grass powders are made from truly raw, grass juice:

Once our young grasses are harvested and juiced, we utilize a proprietary low temperature drying technology that allows us to retain the natural vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytonutrients of the plants. Compared to freeze drying, the temperature in our drying process never exceed 41 degrees Celsius which results in less heat degradation of the vital nutrients found in the plants. 

How to enjoy it:

Mix 1 tbsp of Supergreens with ice water for an instant, nourishing green juice. Add it to smoothies for a boost of greens or even try adding a tbsp to your homemade pestos and dressings for a boost of nutrients!
