Product Review: EnergyFirst Greenergy

August 10th, 2008

The bulk of the ingredients in this mixture are fillers, such as barley malt extract and brown rice syrup solids (filler and taste) and the greens are primarily spirulina and grasses, but they also have a bit of alfalfa leaf in there. There are two other types of spirulina listed on the label, including the AFA spirulina from Klamath Lake (the one known as “blue green algae”). These are included in smaller amounts than the traditional spirulina, which is grown in controlled environments. There are very few fruits in this mixture, which is not a huge problem in my book, since I believe in taking a fruit drink (purple or red berry juice) in addition to your green drink. Finally, EnergyFirst has added some herbal ingredients that are often found in green drink formulas, including green tea, Echinacea, and ginko biloba. I applaud the addition of MSM in this mixture, as this is a supplement that most of us need and few of us get.

Pros

This is a fairly good mixture with a focus on spirulina and grasses and a few extra supplements, such as MSM, bee pollen and Echinacea. Plenty of green tea is added, which I like in a green drink formula, although not everyone does.

Cons

Too many low-cost bulking ingredients have gone into this mixture–especially considering the price.
