Best Super GreensWe answer some of the most commonly asked questions in Skinnyfit Greens Reviews.
The Skinny Greens powder supplement consists of proprietary blends which mean we don´t know exactly what is inside. This is a shame because it makes it harder to evaluate how well the supplement works. Ingredients are listed from most to least included, so by looking at the ingredients list we can gather some information.
Wholesome Superfood Blend (3,405 mg):
Lemon Juice Powder, Organic Chlorella Powder, Organic Spirulina (whole plant), Spinach Leaf Powder, Organic Wheat Grass Powder, Organic Matcha (leaves), Alfalfa Powder (aerial parts), Organic Moringa Leaf Powder, Artichoke Extract (leaves).
In the Wholesome Superfood Blend there are some ingredients that can help you strengthen your immune systems and overall health in general, like spirulina, chorella and artichoke leaf. Even though these ingredients can definitely help with your immune system in the right doses we do not know how much Skinny Greens actually contains. Because of these proprietary blends they use it is difficult to say what the exact impact is of taking this supplement, but generally speaking there’s nothing wrong with this particularly.
Gut-Renewing Probiotic Blend & Digestive Enzyme Blend:(2530 mg):
Acacia Fiber (sap), Bromelain, Amylase, Lactase, Cellulase, Protease, Lipase. Probiotic Blend (500 million CFU): Bifidobacterium lactis, B. breve, B. longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, L. plantarum, L. paracasei, L. salivarius, L. rhamnosus, L. bulgaricus.
This is all fine, although there are some questions as to how well these enzymes will reach the gut in this form, it’s pretty common for greens powders, and it’s not much of a negative for our skinny greens review as it will still have some benefit to gut health, even if it's not quite as much as you'd get from a dedicated probiotic, which is pretty much par for the course with skinny fit greens, it's a nice extra, but not as good as a dedicated supplement.
Mood-Boosting Adaptogen Blend (670 mg):
Coconut Water Powder, Turmeric Root Extract, Ashwagandha Root Powder, American Ginseng Root Extract, Rhodiola Root Powder.
The Mood Boosting Adaptogen Blend does include turmeric, which is known to reduce inflammation. The same blend also consists of ashwagandha which can aid in reducing cortisol levels. This can suppress inflammation. The catch, the dosages are far too low, Ashwagandha alone needs to be dosed at 670mg and turmeric, when not a curcumin extract needs to be in the 1000’s of mg to be effective. When we compare this to products like Super Green Tonik, which actually tell you the dosages in their product and contain the right amounts, we can see that these proprietary blends are just there to hide the Skinny Greens inadequacies.
Waist-Slimming Blend (320 mg):
Glucomannan (root), Green Tea Leaf Extract, Apple Cider Vinegar.
The Waist-Slimming Blend of Skinny Greens consists of glucomannan, green tea leaf extract and apple cider vinegar, which may not sound so bad, Glucommanan is a good weight loss ingredient, but there is a catch. Glucomannan has been mentioned to assist in weight loss in multiple studies. One study which was published by the International Journal of Obesity said that 'Results showed a significant mean weight loss (5.5 lbs) using glucomannan over an eight-week period.' [1].
The catch that we mentioned is of course that the dosage is ultimately too low in Skinny Greens. As for Green Tea and apple cider vinegar, they are mildly effective ingredients, but again, not in this dosage. In short Skinny Greens health benefits, despite the name, do not include weight loss.
