I tried vital greens not long ago, and even though people say it tastes delicious it made me gag. I cannot stand the taste. I even tried mixing it with juice and another time with yoghurt. No matter what I do it tastes disgusting. It's a strange sweet taste that hits the back of my throat and doesn't go down well! Does anyone have any suggestions?
haha i agree, not delicious at all! I am yet to find something to mix it with that blocks the taste. keep in mind the brand asks you nto to mix with certain types of juices as the acidity in some like...
Read more orange and apple can kill the ingredients in it. I literally just block my nose and start swallowing sorry i couldn't help you much!
I use mine with a really sweet smoothie, with milk, ripe banana, honey or the syrup it's drinkable
I added chia seeds and it's helps get down for me.
Does this help with chronic fatigue?
I think you're best chat to your doctor to get a straight answer, but I can imagine you're sick of going to them! I think try a small pottle and see how it goes, I think the price of the two week supp...

Hi there, I am not certain this product is the right way to treat chronic fatigue. I am also being treated for adrenal fatigue. I see a natropath. He told me to stay away from all grains, legumes and ...
Read moreeat just lots of greens. Also you need to practice deep breathing and to slow down and let your body recover. There also is some tablets you can get to help but you can't buy them over the counter. Please contact Will and he will guide you in the right direction as he is the only person who has helped me as all the other people I have seen want to pop you with pills. Also make sure you are taking an vitamin b supplement. I take natures way mega b executive stress formula and u can buy it from Woolworths for about $15. Hope this helps. Kristan
Hi, its says not to put it with citrus fruits? But i just realised ive been putting mine in my smoothies which i put 2 lemons squeezed in, what does it mean by it will ruin the alkalinity? Vanessa.
and will i still have benefits from vital greens?
Lemons are alkaline in the body though, so i personally wouldnt worry.
I have just started taking Vital Greens, just wondering if i still need to take my fish oil, i take the hi strength fish oil liquid 5mls daily

I've just had a glance at the Vital Greens Facebook site where they had a question from a customer who had a similar question. I've copied and pasted VG's answer below:

Hi VitalGreens,
Firstly, I'd just like to say that my natropath put me onto vital greens 5 months ago when I became quite ill and my body required serious repair. Your product did just that! I love it!
My Question is; when and how do you know when vital greens has gone off?
I have little white specs in mine but I can't recall whether perhaps I just haven't noticed it or whether its just another wonderful ingredient...
I bought a fresh batch and 4 weeks ago and I have been travelling around Aus for work, (I'm a singer/performer, many ppl in the cast also swear by your product by the way) and I was going from dry to humid weather, but I have always put it straight from my suitcase into the fridge.
Should I be concerned? I hope it's nothing as I have bought the largest container and if its off that's alot of yummy vital greens and money in the bin.
I look foreward to your reply :)
Regards
Rose
Hi Rose, thanks for the question and great to hear your feedback! In regards to the shelf life of Vital Greens, you have nothing to be concerned about. We state on each pack that it should be consum...
Read moreed within 90 days, however, this is due to the probiotic content. After the 90 days, we can't guarantee that the number of probiotics we state will be in each dose (6 billion) will still be in each serve. It is not due to it going "off" and it is still completely safe to continue using. Likewise with placing Vital Greens into the fridge after opening, this again is due to the probiotic content and ensuring that what we say is in each dose will be. So, in short, nothing to be concerned about! If you have any further queries, please don't hesitate to contact us. We hope you continue to enjoy all the benefits that Vital Greens can bring!
Im about to give Vital Greens a go... love the great reviews and the benefits...just a question with regards to those breaking out... can you give advice on what one should do regarding this...like should it happen to me...I dont want to miss out on this great product...but do you know if you reduce it...that you wont break out and will the reduced dose give the same benefits?

Hello I have my vital greens as soon as I get out of bed I was wondering how long you have to wait before you can eat or have a cup of tea. Thank you.
You want it to be fully absorbed into the body, so waiting at least 25-30mins should be ok.

I bought a 1kg of vital greens and it says to discard after 90 days,I have no where near finished it,would it be off now?
Irene..
Hi Irene, thanks for your query. The Vital Greens would not be off - the reason we put the 90 days on there is due to the probiotics. We guarantee a certain amount of probiotics in every serve of Vi...
Read moretal Greens (6 billion to be exact), and it is just that we cannot guarantee there will be the listed amount in every serve post the 90 days. This does not mean there is anything wrong with the product. I hope this helps Irene, thanks again for your question.From my experience, you get around 1 month out of your container. It tends to taste not as nice after 30 odd days. For me its a 300g for the month, tastes ok on the last 10g. 1kg might be cheaper, but...

My wife and I have been taking vita greens for about 18 months and all ok with me but she has developed hay fever like symptoms that have become very severe.I suggested she stop using it for 2 weeks and then start again.She followed that suggestion and found her symptoms receding and feeling much better. Then started the greens again and after just three days was a total mess again. Has anyone else experienced similar??
She has an allergic reaction to one of the many vitamins or minerals in it.
A bit hard to explain why it took 18 months tho, maybe the body's transforming time.

Hi! Just bought my first tub of vital greens, it says not to mix it with anything acidic however I love taking lemon water first thing in the morning, could I take the vital greens separately straight after?
You run the risk of neutralizing some of the vitamins and minerals with the acidic reactions.
Wait until you have digested your lemon water, then vital up.
