Protein 2gCan greens+ multi+ be mixed into a smoothie?Yes! greens+ multi+ 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.
Can I take greens+ multi+ if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?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.
Can this be used as a meal replacement?greens+ multi+ is not recommended as a meal replacement on its own. It depends what other ingredients are being combined into the smoothie in order for it to act as a meal replacement.
Does greens+ multi+ have to be refrigerated?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.
Is greens+ multi+ gluten-free?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.
Why is hemp seed powder in the unflavoured option?Sometimes multivitamins can sometimes have a strong taste. By adding in the hemp seed powder, we are able to balance out the flavour – and add nutritional value.
Is greens+ multi+ soy-free?greens+ multi+ contains lecithin derived from soy, soy sprouts, and wheat grass derived from wheat. If you are looking for a soy-free and wheat-free version of greens+ we recommend Vegan greens+ O!
It’s worth pointing out that greens+ is not a significant source of phytoestrogens. Soy sprouts contain less than 0.2mg of phytoestrogens per serving and the lecithin. Soy sprouts are not a significant carrier of phytoestrogens and phytates. However, soy sprouts are an essential contributor to the way in which greens+ works. With regard to phytates, the amount in sprouted soy is low (less than 1mg in a serving of greens+). For comparison, the amount of phytate in soy baking flour is 13 mg per gram. Given that the daily intake of phytates in typical Western diets is 600-800mg per day, 1mg is unlikely to be a risk factor for mineral binding.
Why does it say to take with food?greens+ was previously recommended to be taken on an empty stomach in order to get the most out of the herbal ingredients. The change to “take with food” is purely the result of the Health Canada NHPD monograph for green tea, that requires products including this ingredient say to “take with food.”
For many years before the NHPD (and likely for many years since), consumers have been safely enjoying their greens+ on an empty stomach in order to get the most from the standardized herbs, but we now must include this caution on the label by law.
What do you consider "a few hours" when timing for medication?Taking medications 3-4 hours away from greens+ multi+ is recommended. For guidelines specific to your health history and current medications please consult with your natural health care practitioner or pharmacist.
Is it okay to mix greens+ extra energy with greens+ multi+?If you would like to take 2 different greens+ products we suggest rotating between the two.
Why is there a caution on the label to consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 3 months?There are a couple of ingredients that have prescribed maximum durations of use of 3 months – green tea, ginseng, ginkgo, licorice and grape extracts – 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. If you have any concerns we suggest you ask your health care practitioner.
What animal based ingredients are in this product?greens+ multi+ contains bee pollen, royal jelly (a bee product), and vitamin D from a natural and sustainable source of lanolin. Additionally, the probiotics are grown on a dairy medium.
