Beyond Greens Review

Beyond Greens Ingredients

Rhodolia Root 50mg - Rhodolia has a host of benefits, typically brain function related, not the things that Beyond Greens really sells itself on, however, the effective dosage is 200mg, 4 times the dose in beyond greens. [2]

Matcha Powder 200mg - Matcha is all well and good, this is where most of Beyond Greens liver disease prevention and overall liver health benefits claims come from. As we've already mentioned there are some studies that suggest this, but it's still pretty inconclusive.

Organic Reishi Mushroom 25mg - This is a common issue amongst mushroom supplements, the dosage is too low, the tested dosages are 1800mg. [3] It does have a load of positive uses ranging from a healthy immune system, through to brain health benefits etc. But, that's at the right dosage.

Organic Cordyceps 25mg, Organic Turkey Tail Mushroom 25mg, Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom 25mg - As with the other mushrooms you guessed it, you need grams to be effective not mg, this really isn't going to do anything unless you take 4-8 servings of Beyond Greens in one go. (We do NOT recommend you do this, if only for your wallets sake).

Chlorella 500mg - This is actually a good inclusion, Chorella is pretty good for you all around, Beyond Greens claim it's a source of protein mind, which is a bit of a stretch. But, overall it's good. It's rich in vitamin d, other micronutrients and a lot of essential amino acids. Which is sort of what we'd expect from an algae. It appears to be good for cholesterol, has a heap of other heart health benefits and is pretty good all around. [4]

Echinacea 900mg - So, the problem with echinacea is that it's a dice roll, yes it can raise your immune system, but it depends entirely on where the echinacea comes from [5]. It's not consistent across the plant as a whole. Lab tests have shown it's efficacy to be based on amounts of bacteria within the echinacea plants and the type of soil the plants were grown in, and we have no way of knowing what beyond greens is using, and we doubt they are even 100% sure of the quality here.

Milk Thistle 200mg - Beyond Greens milk thistle choice is fine, it's in a lot of good greens powders, it has been shown to help control blood sugar levels. It's fine, and it's dosed ok here.

LactoSpore 300m - Nothing wrong with this, but it's just not overly impressive to include a single strain in a relatively low dosage in a greens powder, not really a negative or positive in our beyond greens review.

FOS. XOS, Tahl Gum - These are prebiotics, this is fine, they're food for the good bacteria, nothing special, nothing negative.

Cinnamon Bark 314mg - There have been a lot of studies designed to test cinnamons benefits to blood sugar, and the NCCIH lists 8 out of 10 as poor quality and the other 2 didn't actually list the type of cinnamon used, so there isn't really much positive to say here. [6]
