Organic Super Greens + Collagen
Ancient Nutrition
Overview
This product combines a broad spectrum of ingredients aimed at general wellness, digestion, and skin/joint health. While many ingredients are individually beneficial, their quantity within various proprietary blends raises concerns about efficacy. The total amount of the main greens, veggie, and fruit blend (4.8g) for over 20 ingredients suggests many components are likely underdosed, making it difficult to achieve the full range of benefits observed in clinical studies for individual ingredients.
The Good
Offers a comprehensive 'all-in-one' approach by combining greens, fruits, vegetables, digestive support, and collagen precursors.
Uses organic ingredients, appealing to consumers seeking natural and chemical-free products.
Includes a probiotic (Bacillus Coagulans) and digestive enzymes that can actively support gut health and nutrient absorption.
The Bad
Proprietary blends (Greens; Veggie and Fruit Blend, Digestive Health Blend, Organic Vegetarian Collagen Boost Blend, Fermented Mushroom and Botanical Blend) hide individual ingredient dosages, making it difficult to assess efficacy.
Many ingredients within the blends, particularly the 'Greens; Veggie and Fruit Blend', appear to be in sub-optimal doses as a collective of 4.8g for over 20 ingredients.
The 'Organic Vegetarian Collagen Boost Blend' is relatively low at 550mg, and while Eggshell Membrane Collagen shows promise, it is unlikely to reach clinical efficacy at this inclusion within a blend.
