Why Super Greens Work for Your Body, Plus How to Use

By Jill Levy

September 23, 2021

Even if you strive to eat a healthy diet, you may be like many adults and come up short when it comes to consuming enough greens. This is where supergreens powder supplements come in handy: They make it a whole lot easier to consume some of the healthiest foods available to us on a regular basis. What are the benefits of taking supergreens? When you add a supergreens powder to your daily routine, you’ll typically experience many of the same health perks associated with eating fresh veggies and fruits and/or juicing— including a higher intake of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

This translates to support for digestion, healthy energy levels, detoxification and more!

What Are Super Greens?

What is supergreens powder made of? Also called “green superfood powder,” these supplements contain a variety of dried greens, in addition to dried algae, berries and herbs. These ingredients have been deemed “superfoods” because they are exceptionally high in nutrients, including phytochemicals, antioxidants and others. What types of superfoods can you find in most supergreens? Many are made with health-promoting greens and other botanicals (which are often organically produced), such as:

Spirulina

Oat grass

Alfalfa grass

Beet root

Peppermint leaf

Chlorella

Turmeric and ginger

Carrot root

Wild blueberry

Goji berry

Matcha powder

Ashwagandha powder

Pomegranate

Broccoli stalk and flower

Spinach and kale leaf

Acai berry

Noni fruit

Elderberry

Flax and chia seeds

Fermented functional mushrooms such as cordyceps

Digestive enzymes

And more

As you can see, some supergreens, including Ancient Nutrition’s, go above and beyond including just basic greens by adding dried fruits, adaptogens such as ashwagandha, probiotics such as Bacillus coagulans, and digestive enzymes such as amylase and lipase. These ingredients are added to support overall gut health, which assists in the process of absorbing nutrients in addition to promoting healthy digestive function and maintaining healthy gut microflora.

What do supergreens do for your body?

The herbs, greens and botanicals added to these powders are nutrient-filled sources of essential vitamins and minerals. This means that these supplements may help fill in gaps in your diet, especially if you don’t regularly eat vegetables and fruits.

Benefits of adding a supergreens powder to your diet can include:

Increases antioxidant intake

Help with healthy detoxification

Supports healthy digestive function

Help maintaining healthy gut microflora and support for general gut health

Is supergreens powder good for healthy weight management?

While most of these powders are not intended to be used primarily for healthy weight management, they make a great addition to most types of healthy diets or low-calorie diets that can help you get the nutrients you need to help support a healthy weight. For example, Ancient Nutrition’s Organic SuperGreens Powder is suitable for people following a variety of diets, including Paleo, low-carb or keto (each serving has 1 gram of sugar and 3 grams of carbs), vegan, vegetarian, and for those on diets where they are limiting gluten, nuts or dairy.

Why do supergreens support healthy digestive function?

Supergreens supplements often contain probiotics that support digestive functions, elimination and may help you “stay regular.” Of course, staying hydrated is also important for keeping things regular, so by consuming fluids with your powdered greens you get a win-win.

Best Super Greens and Why

When shopping for a green superfood powder, look for one made with a variety of greens, vegetables, fruits such as berries, herbs and adaptogens. Ideally, choose a brand that features mostly or all organically produced ingredients. Ancient Nutrition’s Organic SuperGreens Powder (Greens Flavor) is one of the most convenient ways you can increase your daily greens intake. Our formula is made with only organic, non-GMO ingredients and comes in a BPA-free container. Because our supergreens are USDA Certified Organic, this means all ingredients are grown in nourishing, high-quality soil in which no prohibited pesticides, herbicides or processing agents are allowed to be used. We also intentionally don’t use high-temperature processing methods when creating our powder, because this can damage delicate nutrients found in superfoods. Our greens have a versatile, light/neutral flavor, making it easy to add to water or your favorite smoothies or other beverages.

How to Use

A general recommendation is for adults to consume one scoop daily mixed with 8 ounces of water, or your favorite hot or cold beverage. Try our powdered greens in a power-packed green smoothie or protein shake, or simply added to fresh squeezed juice. Having a serving in the morning is a great way to give yourself a natural energy boost. Just add a scoop to a glass of cold water, mix well and sip! How many times a day can you drink supergreens? We like sticking to one or perhaps two servings daily, since each small serving packs a big punch of nutrients. However, you should always read and follow label directions. Additionally, you should always consult your healthcare professional prior to beginning any new dietary or lifestyle regimen, including dietary supplementation.
