Hi I called your company last week and was asked to provide my details and someone would return my call. I explained I have an anaphylactic reaction to wheat and asked if someone was able to guarantee that there is no wheat and no chance in cross contamination in Vital Greens.

I love Vital Greens, but has anyone had any issues with it causing acne outbreaks? I used to take Vital Greens religiously for years and suffered acne and couldn't shake it.

I havent slept very well since taking 1 teasoon of vital greens last Wednesday. Can vital greens keep you awake?
Hi Dewey, what time of day are you taking it? It's best taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. It contains a very small amount of caffeine, and the naturopathic herbal supplements in it...
Read more is designed to boost your energy levels and can be highly effective, so start with a smaller dosage (half a teaspoon) for 2-4 weeks before taking the recommended heaped full teaspoon dosage. It sounds like your body needs to adjust to the potency of VitalGreens, particularly if you don't normally take supplements or herbals. Are you taking it by itself? If so, allow your body to adjust to it by adding it to a green smoothie. I use kale, avocado, banana, ginger and lemon and add a teaspoon of a VitalGreens. Hope this helps :-) Sonia
Thanks so much. Thats very helpful. I didn't take it one day last week and I slept that night. I did not not it today so I should sleep tonight. I have been having 1 teaspoon so I will cut down to a 1...

Vital greens gives me wind and loose bowels, why?
The principle effect that may be accomplished with a regular intake of a concentrated mix of greens (including vital greens) is that it compensates for a diminished nutrient value of the greens we tak...
Read moree in as part of our regular diet. We are consuming vegetables that have a significantly reduced nutrients compared to those we consumed 50 years ago. Some reputable research suggests we get less than 28% of the important nutrients we would have consumed 50 years ago. Wind is not necessarily a bad thing but may be more to do with the microbes in your digestive system (gut), than the nutrients themselves. We are essentially the secondary consumers of what we digest not the primary consumers. The food we eat is first ingested by friendly microbes. Gas as I understand it is the result of the ingestion by the microbes. One's microbe population (bouquet so to speak) can be changed by microbial enhancing foods such as particular yoghurts and other well known products that impact on the gut flora. As for looseness of bowels this may be the result of many things however in principle soft stool although may be indicative of other conditions is generally a reflection of a better functioning system than say hard stools. I'd check with your GP to see that everything inside is working fine. I would not lay the cause of this at the door of Vital Greens. I hope this helps?Hi, i take apple cider vinegar first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, is it ok to then have my vital greens mixed with water straight afterwards? thanks
To the extent that I have heard this question answered before i.e. no other scientific or medical experiment. Apple cider vinegar (which does come well recommended by very good sources) does not clash...
Read more with other nutrients, so the answer is that there is no conceivable reason why vital greens and apple cider vinegar should react in any way with each other.

Read moreose), in that it made me feel a little dizzy although it still lifted my mood. We've stuck on the one teaspoon dose since then. The reason for the mood improvement may be related to the increased dopamine production in the enteric nervous system (the system connected to the digestive tract). V Greens we found also increases our energy levels and made us feel sharper during the day. None of these should impact on any particular organ to any extent. I hope this helps!!

Read morealent to 24 cups of green tea. Side effects of high doses of green tea extract are usually mild and include headache, dizziness and nausea. Vital Greens daily dosis is 67mg of green tea extract so it's maybe too much. I only take one teaspoon daily instead of two. I don't know about the other ingredients for the liver.
