Organifi Green Juice Reviews

Organifi Green Juice Ingredients

Greens Blend - 5.1g

Organic Wheatgrass Powder/Organic Wheatgrass Juice Powder

Both wheatgrass powder and wheatgrass juice powder are made from fresh wheatgrass, which are the new sprouts that grow out of the wheat plant. They are low in calories while being rich in antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins a, b, c, e, and k.

Research suggests wheatgrass can reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, decrease the risk of heart disease, help with arthritis symptoms, lower cholesterol, and combat some diseases.

Unfortunately, all of these benefits are still in the testing stage and more evidence is required to confirm any of them. This is particularly true of wheatgrass in powder form, so its inclusion could be of no use at all (1).

Organic Moringa Leaf Powder

Moringa leaf powder is extracted from a flowering plant found in Africa and Asia. Its flowers, fruits, leaves, oils, roots, and seeds have all been used in herbal medicines for centuries, due to the wide range of health benefits they are able to offer.

You will often find moringa leaf powder in a superfood powder as it is believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This can help to detoxify the body and protect it from free radicals and harmful chemicals when at least 500 mg is consumed each day (2).

The problem is the Organifi Green Juice proprietary Green Blend prevents us from knowing how much is present, so it is impossible to know if enough is included to be of use or not.

Organic Spirulina Powder

Spirulina powder is a type of cyanobacteria extract which is abundant in antioxidants, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and protein.

It can provide many health benefits, like fighting free radicals and preventing oxidative damage, lowering blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and boosting heart health. For optimal benefits to be seen though, 8 grams of spirulina must be consumed each day (3).

With the entire Organifi Green Juice Green Blend weighing just 5.1 grams, it can't possibly contain enough spirulina to produce maximum benefits and may not even have enough to offer any benefits at all.

Organic Chlorella Powder

Chlorella powder is a chlorophyte green algae extract that's rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It can provide energy more effectively than regular sugar and won't cause blood sugar spikes in the process.

It can also offer other health benefits when 6 to 10 grams are consumed each day. This includes regulating blood sugar and cholesterol levels, detoxifying the body, fighting diseases and illnesses, and boosting your overall health and wellbeing (4).

Unfortunately, the Organifi Green Juice Green Blend weighs just 5.1 grams. This means it is not possible for the supplement to contain enough chlorella to be of any use.

Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder

Matcha green tea powder is a finely ground extract from green tea leaves. It is abundant in numerous beneficial compounds, including antioxidants, caffeine, catechins, chlorophyll, phenolic acids, quercetin, rutin, theanine, and vitamin c.

While many benefits have been linked to matcha, those that have been proven include raising energy, reducing inflammation, detoxifying the liver, enhancing brain functions, boosting heart health, accelerating weight loss, and preventing certain illnesses and diseases (5).

However, studies show that at least 2 grams of matcha green tea must be consumed per day to achieve these benefits. With the Organifi Green Juice Green Blend only weighing 5.1 grams, it is therefore extremely unlikely that the supplement contains enough matcha to be of any use.

Superfood Blend - 1.95g

Organic Coconut Water Powder

Coconut water powder is a dehydrated form of coconut water, the clear liquid found in coconuts. Low in calories and sugar, it is a fabulous source of antioxidants, electrolytes, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins, such as iron, magnesium, sodium, and potassium.

It can be used to keep the body hydrated, prevent inflammation, raise energy levels, aid the digestive system and brain functions, improve weight loss, and prevent and manage certain illnesses when consumed in daily doses of 10 to 15 grams (6).

The problem is, even the bottom end of this scale is almost 5 times the size of the 1.95 gram Superfood Blend found in Organifi Green Juice. This means the inclusion of coconut water powder in the supplement is completely pointless. And then there's the fact that it's the largest ingredient in here.

Organic Ashwagandha Root Extract

Ashwagandha root extract comes from the winter cherry evergreen shrub found in west Asia and east Africa. It has been used in ayurvedic medicine for centuries, as there are countless claims of different benefits it is said to offer (7).

It's said to raise testosterone levels (in men specifically), enhance fertility and sexual functions, ease anxiety and stress, lower blood sugar levels, boost muscle size and strength, help you lose weight, improve mental clarity and sleep, aid athletic performance, and promote better heart and brain health. The catch is that there needs to be at least 600mg in here, which if we're being charitable, could be the case, and it could be the reason that organifi has some positive reviews from customers. 

Organic Lemon Powder

Lemon powder is extracted from lemon balm, a plant in the mint family. It contains vitamin c and a number of minerals, and has been linked to benefits including easing stress and anxiety, enhancing cognitive functions, and reducing relaxation (8).

Unfortunately, none of these benefits have been proven, meaning its inclusion in Organifi Green Juice is unlikely to do anything other than give the product a citrusy, minty flavor.

Organic Red Beet Powder

Beet powder is a dehydrated beetroot extract that is rich in nitrate, folate, potassium, and vitamin c. It is an incredibly popular ingredient in dietary supplements as it has been proven to offer numerous benefits for your health.

These include helping to lower blood pressure and cholesterol, boosting the health of the eyes, heart, and immune system, increasing energy and stamina, protecting your blood, liver, and organs, reducing inflammation, and preventing certain illnesses (9).

For these benefits to be experienced though, 450 mg of beetroot must be consumed each day. While it is possible that Organifi Green Juice contains this amount, the Superfood Powder Blend weighing just 1.95 grams makes this highly unlikely.

Organic Turmeric Extract

Turmeric extract has been used for decades due to its curcumin content, which has incredible anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It can neutralise free radicals, stopping them from damaging our cartilage, joints, and organs (10).

These benefits require at least 500 mg of curcumin a day to be achieved though (which is only about 20% of Turmeric). As the Organifi Green Juice superfood supplement blend only weighs 1.95 grams in total, it is therefore functionally impossible.
