Trader Joe's supplements?

I did a search, but didn't find any threads specifically about Trader Joe's supplements.

I recently purchased a multi-vitamin, which the bottle claims to be the "high potency" formula.

I also got a couple of bottles of "Very Green" which is probably similar to Greens+. It doesn't give a very detailed breakdown of the ingredients, but at $9.99 for 35 servings, I might be willing to forgo some of the potency for cost-effectiveness.

I was wondering if anyone has anything to say about these?

Thanks.

I don't know anything about it, but I did find this on another forum:
If there's a Trader Joe's near you, I recommend something called "Very Green Drink Powder". It's only around $9 per bottle and everyone I have recommended it to(about 3 or 4 people) loved it. They felt better all around. It's not vitamins per se, but a blend of about 25 different plants and herbs including barley, wheat grass, spirulina, green tea, siberian ginseng, blue green algae, gingko, spinach, etc.
My experience w/ Trader Joe's products has always been good. Give it a shot.

Wouldn't that make their Greens supplement less than half the price of nearly every other greens powder on the market? That seems hard to believe... I'm a skeptical bastard

There's a Trader Joe's near me. I'll have to check it out. I didn't even know they sold supplements.

They are definitely worth checking out, for supplements or otherwise.

You can get boxes of cereal which are virtually identical to Cheerio's for like 1.99 per box. (I actually like TD's version better.....the O's are larger and crunchier.)

I use TJ's fish oil. It's purity is pretty good (400/200), and it's only about $9 for a bottle of 90. A good bit cheaper than your average (180/120).

I just started a bottle of TJ's greens this morning. I've been using Greens + for at least a year, so I'll keep you all posted what differences I notice (if any). Their ingredients differ on a handful of things, but at first glance it looks like TJ's will pack about the same nutritional punch for a fraction of the cost.

Sounds good, let us know how you like it.

I've still got most of a bottle of NOW's greens, so I won't be starting the Very Green for a few more weeks yet.
