I'm so glad this thread is in existence. I've on and off been taking different brands of greenfood supplements for 2-3 years and I really wanted to find something I can easily source and take in an informed manner - not just buy and take then forget only to find it expired months later, like I've done before - what a waste
.
Well, this thread, being so informative got me doing my research, and spending a little time at my local organic supermarket. I finally took the plunge this evening and bought
Nature's Living Superfood. I took my time and decided on this one above chlorella by itself and spirulina by itself and wheatgrass by itself. This has a wide spectrum of nutrients, including enzymes, land veg, wildcrafted aquatic veg, algaes (spirulina and chlorella), and a probiotic mixture that includes 'natural soil organisms' and more. It doesn't tell me how much CGF per dose but I'm okay with that - I hope it's good - it was rated highly by the resident vegan buyer for the shop whose job is to try review ALL of what is stocked in the shop and even though she wasn't supposed to be recommending a particular product above others to a client, she mentioned that she said this brand was her regular one. I was sold, lol. I'd have chosen Udo's Choice - which she said was very good as well but had more fibre (fillers to me if added above the active ingredients) to help with regular bowel movements but wasn't as potent nutritionally. Plus NLF is all raw, hence the 'living food'.
I got home and promptly took the half a teaspoon dose recommended for beginners with yoghurt. It does warn of detox side effects too. It is expensive at a glance (£29.95) but if put into perspective, a full dose, i.e a heaped teaspoonful a day would last 33 days - not bad, considering people spend ££££s daily on sweets, crisps, sodas, after work drinks etc, etc. A full dose costs me less than £1/day based on a monthly calculation - not bad at all by my books. So, I think I've found my green superfood - yay! Now, I just need to get over all the unnecessary food I eat every now and then.... Forgive me, this is OT, but maaaaan, we got given some wickedly tasty cured Spanish gourmet sausages last week
- we finished them yesterday but I just can't stop craving them
! I'm okay with sweet stuff, it's the savouries that are my weakness - I hope my superfood mixture works me a miracle so all I crave is fruit and raw crunchy veg and luscious raw nuts and fresh fruit juices and smoothies..........
