Review: VitaForce
August 25th, 2011
A super robust formula that is the most nutritionally dense and balanced green drink on the market — it truly serves as both a top notch green drink and as a multivitamin/multimineral supplement. VITAFORCE has a great balance of all the nutrients you need daily, and, unlike most green drinks, it has a complete vitamin and mineral label showing exactly the amount of nutrients you get per serving. Of particular note, it contains reliable sources of essential nutrients that are almost always lacking in other green drinks, such as Vitamin B-12, Vitamin D, zinc and selenium.
The formulation is rich in organic spirulina, chlorella, organic wheatgrass juice, organic veggies (such as kale, collards, parsley, spinach), organic Icelandic kelp and a beautiful blend of organic superfruits (acai, wild bilberry, aronia, wild elderberry, black raspberry, pomegranate etc.). It also contains some nutritional yeasts that provide B-vitamins and other nutrients and probiotics.
Also, because the product is 100% vegan and hypoallergenic, it is a product that can be taken by everyone. It is available in tablets as well, which is convenient.
The product comes in at about $4.37 an ounce, which is not the lowest, even for the super robust formulas. But when you factor in that you can get a month’s supply of this for as little as $34.99, it really is a very reasonable green drink – particularly given the incredible quality and nutritional density of this product.

Thank you for the review. It’s very difficult to decide on which green food to use these days, since they all seem so similar. But, based on this, Vitaforce seems to be the one that I should give a go… Thanks again for the information.

In your personal opinion, do you think this is a better product than Vitamineral Green?
3. admin | August 29th, 2011 at 8:57 am
In my personal opinion, I think they are comparable. Vitamineral Green is a bit stronger and consequently has a horrible taste. VitaForce is better tasting, since the nutritional yeast cuts the potency of the greens just a bit — making it easier to take on a daily basis. VitaForce has a fruit blend, where Vitamineral Green does not. This makes Vitamineral Green more dense in greens, and VitaForce a bit more well-rounded.
Both products are excellent. If you are trying to decide between them, it might be worth getting a bottle of each and making your own comparison, as there are many personal issues involved in a final decision.

I’m going to try Vitaforce because of its complete vitamin and mineral content as well as green plant nutrition. Looks good!!

Hi , is there a reason why you have not reviewed athletic greens yet? the reason I am asking is because I understand that they were suing anyone giving them a bad review etc…or at least giving them a hard time…I am wondering if that is a reason
6. admin | April 15th, 2012 at 10:31 am
Raed, the only reason we haven’t reviewed it (it’s on our list) is that we have not been able to make contact with the company. They have not responded to our emails. We require a connection at the company for any questions or issues we may have in reviewing the product and afterward, if we have to forward questions from our readers to the manufacturer. Some manufacturers are not very cooperative and others are.
