Customer Reviews of Essential Greens Drink Mix by Garden Greens - 17.5oz. Powder(Flavors=Very Berry:)
Customer Review: Don't know what to make of it
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased it in my local pharmacy, as an impulse purchase. A $35 impulse purchase for some green water isn't cheap, but, heck, I figured I'll try it out. It can't be all that bad, and I wasn't feeling well and needed some boost. I thought maybe a greens mix would do me some good.
I had two cups of it today (Very Berry Flavor). It tastes good, but I don't know if it makes me feel any different.
At home, I studied the product more and came up with several question marks:
1) On the label it doesn't indicate much nutritional value, only 6g fiber and 6g sugars per 1 scoop. How can that be? As per the label, it's made up of a long laundry list of goodies! Doesn't it have any nutritional value other than that??
2) The company isn't making any claims about the product, only that it's a Super "ORAC" Greens drink. ORAC stands for "Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity", a method of measurement of antioxidant capacities of a given food. This method is NOT approved by the NIH. According to Wikipedia, "Correlation between the high antioxidant capacity of fruits and vegetables, and the positive impact of diets high in fruits and vegetables, is believed to play an important role in the free-radical theory of aging." Note the words "believed" and "theory".
So this is a "Super ORAC" drink. But what does that mean?? The manufacturer doesn't tell us. We don't have a clue.
3) It's also suspicious the manufacturer doesn't have a tel or email address, neither on the product nor the website. One would think they would be happy to explain themselves to the public. But all their website does is list their products.
So maybe this is a legit company, maybe it isn't. Maybe this is a beneficial drink, maybe it isn't. There's no way to know, and since the manufacturer isn't making any claims one way or the other, you can't even blame it for misleading you.
I will use this product after workouts, to see if I would get that "flow of oxygen" one of the 5-star reviewers described having thanks to this drink. I'm a tad doubtful, but heck, I need to SOMEHOW justify shelling 35 bucks.. If nothing else, I'll just consider it a non-fattening tasty drink to have at home.
***UPDATE: After having used it for over two weeks now, on a daily basis, I can report that I feel absolutely no difference. I still don't even know what the manufactures claim it's supposed to do. Since they're not claiming anything, they're at least not lying. This seems to me to be a mix of sugar and some green stuff. A waste of money, and not recommended. I therefore downgraded my rating to only * star. 1 star is for the flavor. Zero for everything else.
