Green Drink Reviews

Review: Green Magma

February 27th, 2010

Green Magma is formulated with a different philosophy than most other green drinks. It contains only one active ingredient, which is barley grass juice powder. Except for a little sweetener from the maltodextrin and brown rice, this is essentially like getting pure barley grass. Naturally, I tend to prefer the more robust mixtures, but that does not mean some people will not benefit greatly from getting a pure barley grass formula. Others might like to add extra barley grass to their other green drink formula — using Green Magma as the source. There are many studies showing the benefits of this grass, so people who are sold on its benefits might do well to get a green drink like this one. The quality of the grass in this mixture is quite high. The price tag is also on the high side at $4.50 per ounce.

Manufacturer’s Description

Since 1969, Green Magma® has been the world’s premier barley grass supplement. Backed by over 40 years of scientific research and consumer satisfaction. It contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, chlorophyll, carotenoids, flavonoids, and other valuable phytochemicals that support every system of the body. Consumers report a dramatic increase in energy, increased regularity, and better looking hair, skin, and nails. Green Magma® is a juice extract, not a fiber product. Our bodies can more easily and completely absorb the nutrients from a juice supplement than one containing fiber, which locks in many of the important nutrients. Green Magma is certified organic by Quality Assurance International (QAI). Our barley is grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
