greens+ daily detox

Absolutely! You can combine greens+ with protein to make a hearty snack. By combining greens+ with protein, you get the benefit of nourishing superfoods and blood-sugar balancing proteins. We recommend our fermented vegan proteins+ or fermented Greek yogurt proteins+, as both proteins are fermented and are highly absorbable and easy-to-digest!

We recommend taking most of the greens+ formulas in the morning to provide you with long lasting benefits throughout the day. greens+ products are also energy promoting, so it may not be advisable to take it in the evening.

The caution on the greens+ daily detox package (vs. other greens+ formulas) is a general cautionary note required by the NHPD due to its slightly higher levels of green tea vs. regular greens+ (15mg more per dose). In what might be considered outdated monographs on green tea, the caution is mandated due to older and largely experimental (animal) studies suggesting that iron absorption is inhibited by green tea. More recently, Dr. Tsung Cheng of the George Washington University Medical Center in Washington D.C. has refuted these claims. Indeed he has shown convincing evidence in humans indicating that green tea does not interfere with iron absorption. (Cheng T. Green tea does not inhibit iron absorption. Int J Cardiology 2009;133:112). Regarding human iron interaction with green tea Dr. Cheng concludes “In some parts of the world there is a belief that green tea may inhibit iron absorption and thus result in iron deficient anemia. Unfortunately, this is not supported by any scientific evidence.”

Hopefully the mandated cautionary notes will be revisited by the NHPD with updated scientific research, however, in the meantime any use of greens+ daily detox by those with iron deficiency or anemia must be under the direction of a healthcare provider.

Yes! greens+ daily detox is a great addition to your smoothie! When making a smoothie, it’s a good idea to balance your fruit with plenty of fibre, protein and healthy fats so you don’t spike your blood sugar. If you’re looking for recipe ideas, check out our Genuine Hub.

All formulas with the original greens+ base have been tested to contain <20ppm of gluten which is below the amount allowed by Health Canada in a gluten free product. However we cannot label original greens+ formulas gluten free because they contain wheat and barley grass; although these grasses are not direct sources of gluten they can contain gluten due to possible grains in the grass. For those with high sensitivities or celiac disease we recommend our Vegan greens+ O.

Just as surely as we are being continually assaulted by environmental toxins, greens+ daily detox is formulated as a “continual cleanse” product. Put simply, it is designed for regular and consistent use. There is no research indicating a rest period is required. With that said, some consumers do make greens+ daily detox a part of periodic “cleanses,” or “seasonal detox” protocols.

Please note that as per Health Canada we are required to advise in our recommended dose that the consumer consults a health care practitioner for use beyond 3 months. A couple of ingredients have prescribed maximum duration of use of 3 months – green tea, ginseng, gingko, licorice and grape seed – therefore all products with these ingredients would require these warnings by law. Even though greens+ has been used by thousands of people for decades, the need for this warning is still mandated by Health Canada as no study with a longer duration of use exists.

The expiry date is the date we can guarantee potency and safety for our products based on stability testing.  It is the latest date that we have tested for this, which is why beyond the expiry we can make no guarantees as we have no formal data as to what happens to the product.  We don’t recommend consumption after expiry.

The product was not tested for caffeine content. The only source of caffeine in greens+ daily detox is the 30mg of green tea leaf extract, which is not standardized to caffeine so it is hard to say how much caffeine would be in the finished product and this may vary from batch to batch.  That being said, it is going to be minimal given the total green tea dose is only 30mg and below all Health Canada limits for any age.

greens+ daily detox is available in green apple flavour. Our original greens+ comes unflavoured.

greens+ daily detox is not vegan as it contains probiotics grown on dairy, royal jelly and bee pollen. Our Vegan greens+ O is vegan but does not contain the added daily detox ingredients.

It is not recommended, as all greens+ formulas contain standardized herbs and botanical extracts. This caution is a Health Canada requirement and one you will find on the majority of products in our industry with compliant labels. The government takes a very cautious approach with this delicate population and requires this warning on almost all ingredients.

However, our fermented organic gut superfoods+ is made from fermented fruits, vegetables, culinary herbs and prebiotics, and is safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Refrigeration is recommended to provide optimal product freshness after opening. Refrigeration is a controlled environment, so we know the product is not sitting on a window ledge, on top of a radiator, or kept in other non-optimal storage situations. A cool temperature will also reduce oxidation and maintain probiotic stability. However, greens+ is ok to consume if it has not been refrigerated for a short period of time.
