IdealGreens Superfood Blend

IdealGreens Superfood Blend Review

IdealGreens Superfood Blend is a food supplement made by IdealShape, and is designed to help consumers nourish their body and boost their health by packing it full of superfoods and low glycemic green ingredients.

IdealShape is a company based in the US. They were established in 2003 and their headquarters are in Lindon, Utah. They manufacture and sell a wide range of weight loss products, including meal replacement shakes and bars, as well as other supplements. They promote several weight loss plans and programmes.

IdealShape have had their fair share of controversy in the past. Many of their products come with a warning stating that they may contain lead, which is a known carcinogenic with other toxic side effects. They claim this is because California law makes it a necessity, but in 2013, a lawsuit against the company claimed the company knew for years that its products contained lead and did not tell consumers. This is something we are worried about, as we like to see full transparency about everything from all manufacturers.

What Does IdealGreens Superfood Blend Claim To Do?

The manufacturer of IdealGreens Superfood Blend claims the product is:

With IdealGreens you can nourish your body and boost your health on the way to achieving your ideal. It’s an excellent addition to any smoothie or meal replacement shake for added superfood power, or you can drink it on its own to supplement your diet. With just one scoop of IdealGreens you can boost your daily nutrition and feel amazing!

Does IdealGreens Superfood Blend Work?

In short, yes, it will work. It is packed full of known superfoods, such as broccoli and wheatgrass. Almost every ingredient has a positive effect on health, even if we do not know how much of it is in there. We also can’t argue with the convenience of it, especially if you are time-poor. However, a powder supplement is never going to be comparable to a normal healthy diet containing a wide range of fresh produce. it will lack the fibre and water from fresh ingredients, and will not be as easily absorbed by the body.

What Are The Ingredients of IdealGreens Superfood Blend?

Please note that this is a proprietary blend, so the quantities of each ingredient are not known.

• Spinach leaf: Spinach has a range of antioxidant properties. It also helps to prevent cancer, cardiovascular disease, age-related macular degeneration, and the degeneration of the immune and neurological systems.
• Kale leaf: Kale is widely regarded as a superfood, as it contains significant levels of numerous vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, folate, calcium, and iron; some of these nutrients are most commonly found in meat or dairy, and so are more difficult to source from a vegan diet. Kale is also a good source of nitrates, which can be readily converted into NO to improve heart health.
• Coconut water powder: Coconut water hydrates and restores lost electrolytes. Its vitamin B content gives you a boost of energy, and the cytokinins have anti-aging benefits.
• Apple fiber: Apples supply the body with natural sugars to help the body control its sugar cravings. It also contains two different kinds of fiber. An insoluble fiber in the peeling and a soluble fiber, called pectin, in the meat of the apple. These two kinds of fiber make the stomach feel fuller. That is why an apple eaten with a glass of water about 15 minutes before you sit down for a meal can greatly decrease the amount of calories you consume.
• Dandelion root extract: Dandelion root is mostly used as a diuretic and laxative, although there is little evidence in human trials that it is effective for this purpose. Some very limited trials on animals have suggested that dandelion supplements may have other miscellaneous effects such as easing digestion and protecting the pancreas, although further research is needed in order to know just how effective supplementing with this ingredient is.
• Acerola cherry: Acerola cherries are one of the densest sources of natural Vitamin-C complex in the world. They contain whole-plant bioflavonoids, hesperidin, rutin, anthocyanins, and other naturally occurring essential co-factors.
• Wheatgrass: This is a highly concentrated source of nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, iron, calcium, magnesium, and amino acids. It also contains some chemicals naturally that may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Beet leaf: Beets help to reduce cholesterol and promote good heart health. They also help to boost energy levels.
• Spirulina (broken cell): This is a blue-green algae that contains a range of natural vitamins and minerals. Almost all claims made about it are currently unsubstantiated, although it is thought to synthesis/release Nitric Oxide.
• Chlorella (broken cell): Chlorella is a blue-green algae like its cousin spirulina. It benefits the entire body by supporting healthy hormonal function, promoting good heart health, helping to negate the effects of chemotherapy and radiation, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, and helping in the detoxification of our bodies. Its deep green colour comes from a high concentration of chlorophyll.
• Broccoli: Broccoli has long been promoted as one of the healthiest vegetables because of its nutritional makeup. This superfood is loaded with fiber, antioxidants to fight cancer, and vitamin C to aid in iron absorption.
• Ashwagandha: This is also known as Withania Somnifera, and is a plant with a wide range of purposes in traditional Indian medicine. It is used as an Adaptogen – a general pick-me-up or tonic and it may lower blood pressure and have a calming effect.
• Rhodiola (3% Rosavins, 1% salidroside): Rhodiola has also been reputed to support healthy metabolism, sex drive, and hormone balance, lower levels of stress, and improve oxygen absorption.
• Ginger root extract: Ginger root is an ingredient well known for having a positive effect on digestive health, in that it is often taken to ease nausea and sickness, and various types of digestive issues such as trapped wind.

The IdealGreens Superfood Blend also contains an enzyme blend, which is listed as having the following ingredients. We believe that this is to help digestion.

• Cellulose
• Fungal lactase
• Alpha-amylase
• Fungal protease
• Lipase

Does IdealGreens Superfood Blend Have Any Side Effects?

None have been directly linked to this particular product, but in general, chlorella, and other algae, including spirulina, are potent mineral chelators, so, although they are effective for heavy-metal detoxing, they can also rid the body of minerals like zinc and magnesium. Source

Are There Any Customer Reviews For IdealGreens Superfood Blend?

There are a few reviews on the official IdealShape website. They are mostly positive, and the ones that are negative are focusing mainly on the terrible taste of them:

Although it’s good in theory, the taste is terrible. Even when mixed in shakes, the taste can’t be masked.
