With busy and hectic lives, we are constantly trying to find ways to make our days a little easier. One way to carve out time is to take shortcuts with our meals, but unfortunately, nutrition is taking a back seat.

When we think about how we eat or read food labels, we traditionally look first at the macronutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates). Then we check the micronutrients (vitamins, minerals). But to unlock the potential of good health, we need this specific category of micronutrients: phytonutrients! Phytonutrients act as powerful antioxidants to scavenge for free radicals and help promote alkalinity in the body. Diversity is key. Unfortunately, the average North American consumes the same four phytonutrient foods daily (tomato, carrot, strawberry, orange)¹. That’s where greens+ steps in.

Greens+ supports our immunity, increases energy, and maintains overall health. One serving daily provides a synergistic blend of over 23 natural and high-quality ingredients from outside of your conventional diet (such as royal jelly, spirulina, and acerola berry) to nourish your whole body. Just one scoop of greens+ powder mixed with water provides the vitality we crave in this fast-paced world.

Lacking energy?

You are a goal setter, and today is the day. Your to-do list is never-ending. You’re a multitasker and every minute counts! You need your body and your mind to keep up with you, and today you need a boost to get it all done. Our greens+ extra energy contains our greens+ original formula, with an additional 11 ingredients to streamline how your body harnesses and uses this energy in the most efficient ways to delay fatigue and keep you running on a full tank.

Phytonutrient-rich ingredients have been carefully selected to support many aspects relating to overall energy:

1. Stamina & Endurance – Promote peak physical performance by improving output over time with energizing compounds like L-taurine and L-tyrosine in the formula.²
2. Promote Alertness – A natural form of caffeine from the kola nut (ethically sourced) that is packed with antioxidants to give you sustained energy.³ Additionally, chromium has been added to balance glucose levels, preventing a spike in energy followed by a crash.
3. Enhanced Mental Focus – Powerful adaptogens including astragalus, rhodiola, and gotu kola to improve concentration and temporarily relieve symptoms of stress such as mental fatigue.^4,5,6

Whether you need a boost of energy or to fill in nutritional gaps in the modern-day diet, Genuine Health’s greens+ extra energy has you covered for your foundational nutrition needs.
