Just wondering if anyone uses this or what the consensus is on it. Seems cheaper than Greens+ and I've lost faith in my current multivitamin.

I've never used it, but isn't greens+ like $3 more than theirs? They sell it for $27 I think.

Edit: Kinda cool they have Lipase, Amylase, and Protease in their greens.

I use a Vitamin Shoppe brand greens powder but it's not that one. For some reason the one I use isn't on their website. Maybe it's being discontinued and replaced... I don't know. The ingredient quantities per serving are different than Greens Plus but even if Greens + is a better formula, I doubt it's significant. I'd use what was linked to save some cash.

If you're just lookin for cheap, I'd check out miracle greens. http://www.alternative-health-supple...gredients.html

Its like $53 for a 3 month supply.

Actually taste is a factor as well. I hear that vitamin shoppe greens has a consumable flavor as opposed to the seaweed flavor of other supplements.

I don't really mind the taste of wild berry burst greens+. It is also a ton better if you make it in juice instead of water. I heard trader joes has a cheap greens supplement, which I'll try next.

The Vitamin Shoppe brand that I use comes in 3 flavors; Berry, Apple Berry, and Tropical. They don't taste bad but I'd also like to note that they all taste the fucking same as well. I can't tell the difference between any of the three flavors. Anyhow, I have a feeling that the Bio Blend you linked tastes like grass. I mean, if you chop up a bunch of weeds and throw it into a drink unflavored, what else would it taste like? I doubt it tastes much different than Greens plus if it tastes different at all. In fact, Madmick did a greens powder taste comparison a long time ago. I believe he said that there wasn't any noticeable difference between the unflavored brands he tried. I don't remember what the brands were though... that was probably a couple of years back.

There's a huge difference in the taste between the last two unflavored greens that I used.

More than a greens powder
Miracle Greens

Miracle Greens were horrible in my opinion. None of them taste good and more than a greens powder tasted like dissolved rabbit pellets... Still, I'd rather drink that than Miracle Greens.

Bumping this to hear if anyone thinks there's a huge difference between Greens+ and this Vitamin Shoppe brand?

both have similar amounts of cheap filler, so no, not much difference

the two best greens powders without fillers or flavorings or vitamin/mineral enrichments: on opposite sides of the food basket, trophic greens concentrate (canadian company, exotic super foods) and new chapter berry green (overpriced but it has a variety of traditional whole foods)
