The main selling point of Enso's supergreens powder is the fact that it focuses on organic ingredients and avoids artificial flavors and artificial sweeteners, which can be important if you're particularly sensitive to these things. And the superfood powder is certainly going to have some health benefits, just not nearly as much as other greens powders on the market today.
As we've already mentioned in the intro spirulina and chlorella have a host of immune system boosting and anti inflammatory effects, and as long as these are dosed over 2000mg then we're all good here. We do expect this is the case although that does mean by the time we get down to peppermint leaf we're not longer getting any of the benefits from the leafy greens, with the exception of dandelion powder which dose have some impact in even a few 100mg. Although dandelion powder's main effect is that it's a diuretic and it's good for your liver.
As for Wheat and Barley Grass there's some amino acids in there, and wheatgrass in particular has minerals that help regulate enzyme systems, build bones and teeth, release energy from food, and maintain your body’s pH balance., but they're not the best ingredients for greens powders. They're still good, but there's better options for Enso Super Greens Powder.
The only other ingredeint that looks to be in the ideal range is the nopal cactus powder, which needs to be at 500mg as a minimum, but has been shown to help regulate blood sugar levels, protect nerve cells and even have some benefits to prostate health.
Enzyme Complex 78mg
Papin, Bromelain, Pepsin
The problem with the enzyme complex is that it's not big enough, papin and bromelain do have a host of health benefits, particularly bromelain, which is a potent anti inflamatory which is known to reduce joint pain and stiffness, but it's dosage is 100mg. And with the whole blend being 78mg it's just not enough. Papin the larger ingredient is the least important and whilst pepsin could be interesting it's going to be nowhere near the ideal dosage even if they will have some benefits. We'd have liked to have seen more bromelain here.
Probiotic Blend
Ensō Supergreens includes standard lacto-probiotics and digestive enzymes. Probiotics are live bacteria that help improve gut health, digestion, and the immune system. They can also help alleviate conditions such as IBS, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and ulcerative colitis. Probiotic blends are commonly used in many super greens powders. Although a dedicated probiotic would be better.
