Organic Greens Superfood Cruciferous Blend
Dr. Berg
Overview
This supplement combines a variety of freeze-dried cruciferous vegetables, which are generally recognized as healthy due to their phytonutrient content. However, the product utilizes a proprietary blend, and the total amount of the blend per serving is quite low (450mg). Given the number of ingredients included, it is unlikely that each ingredient is present in a clinically significant dosage. Therefore, while the supplement may offer some nutritional benefits, its overall effectiveness is questionable.
The Good
Convenient Way To Consume Vegetables: Provides an easy method for individuals to increase vegetable intake, especially for those who may not regularly consume a variety of cruciferous vegetables.
Nutrient Preservation: Freeze-drying assists in the preservation of nutrients in vegetables.
Antioxidant Support: Contains vegetables known for their antioxidant compounds, which may help combat oxidative stress.
The Bad
Proprietary Blend Obscures Dosing: The specific amount of each ingredient within the 450mg proprietary blend is unknown, making it impossible to assess whether clinically effective doses are being used.
Potential for Underdosing: With 12 different ingredients in a 450mg blend, many ingredients are likely significantly underdosed.
Limited Evidence for Freeze-Dried Supplements: Most research focuses on whole vegetables; the specific benefits and optimal dosages of freeze-dried forms are less clear.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking to increase vegetable intake, support detoxification, improve gut health
Skip If: You have a known allergy to cruciferous vegetables or are on blood thinners (consult doctor)
