Vitakruid Super Greens (220 or 440 grams) is a powder with 25 ingredients per 7.3 gram scoop, including 1100 mg alfalfa seed, 650 mg beetroot, 600 mg spirulina and 500 mg chlorella. The formula also contains 500 mg arabinoxylan extract (Naxus®), 350 mg beta-glucans (1,3-1,6), extracts from rosehip, acerola, green tea (Camellia sinensis) and Ginkgo biloba, and 300 mg vitamin C, 91.2 mg vitamin E and 5 mg zinc. The powder further contains the bacterial strain Lactobacillus acidophilus and the enzymes lactase, lipase and protease. Thanks to its powder form you can easily dose the product with a scoop, and it is suitable for vegans. Super Greens is available in packs of 220 and 440 grams, for different periods of use.
Beta-glucans are polysaccharides that naturally occur in, among others, oats, barley, yeast, and mushrooms. The numbers 1,3 and 1,6 refer to the way the sugar molecules in the chain are linked. Super Greens contains 350 mg beta-glucans per scoop.
Spirulina and chlorella are both microalgae that grow in fresh water. Spirulina is blue-green and gets its name from the spiral shape of its filaments. Strictly speaking, it is a cyanobacterium. Chlorella is a single-celled, round green algae with a sturdy cell wall. The name derives from the Greek ‘chloros’, which means green.
OPC (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) and rutin are natural plant compounds in the flavonoid group. OPC can be found in grapes and apples, among others. In Super Greens, OPC comes from grapeseed extract. Rutin is found in buckwheat, asparagus and citrus fruits, and is named after the rue (Ruta graveolens), the plant in which the substance was first discovered.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is a lactic acid bacterium that naturally occurs in fermented foods, such as yoghurt and sauerkraut. The name ‘acidophilus’ literally means ‘acid-loving’, because the bacterium thrives in an acidic environment.
Enzymes are proteins that can break down substances into smaller parts. Each enzyme acts on one specific substance: lactase on lactose, lipase on fats, and protease on proteins. Enzymes naturally occur in plants, animals and microorganisms, and are often combined in one formula in food supplements.
A ratio such as 10:1 indicates how much plant material is used: 10 kilos of plant material are needed for 1 kilo of extract. A percentage such as 24% or 50% means the extract is standardised: each production batch then contains a fixed amount of a certain substance. In Super Greens, among others, the green tea extract (50%), the acerola extract (25%) and the Ginkgo biloba extract (24%) are standardised.
