When I took this, I all of the sudden found my metabolism had a boost, and I was going to the bathroom more. This is a supplement that is marketed for its natural content of vegetables, so I take it as if I am having a healthy and cheap alternative to a super green juice like at Jamba Juice.
One day, I began to question all of the content in processed foods I was eating and why I was sick. This product did not make me sick. However, after reading the label, I found these things:
-The vegetable content of the powder is 6.8 grams of one serving, which is 85% of the content of each serving.
-The rest of the content are laxatives and chemicals which help in digestion of normal and unhealthy foods along with processed fiber.
I would be very careful of taking this over a long period of time. There are only 7 grams of vegetables in one serving of powder. Compare this with one serving of lettuce, which is 55 grams or one serving of broccoli, which is 78 grams. This product is very well marketed as a product with a full day's worth of vegetables, which is a significant contrast from what doctors and most food pyramids recommend actual intake of a much higher weight of vegetable intake in a healthy diet. While it feels good after you take it, it is likely the fact that you are going to the bathroom to poop rather than the wonderful vegetables that are such an amazingly organically grown food packed with the finest nutrients which are causing you to feel good. The chemicals at the bottom of the label are found naturally in foods which aid in digestion and processing of food, including lactase. This product is much more scientific than it is natural.
Note: this is good for a person to use if they will not eat any vegetables in a day, for example if a person is traveling and won't be having much of a diet besides alcohol and bar/club food. However, vegetables are still needed if a person will get the remaining intake of Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin K. When taken alone, a person would be missing 92% of Fiber not found in nuts or bread, 75% of Vitamin A, 43% of Vitamin C, and 12% of Vitamin K, which means one serving does definitely not provide a full day's recommended intake of vegetables.
**Update on Review**
Updating my review to four stars because it is actually a great way to supplement your diet if you for some reason are not getting enough vegatables. I feel noticeably better and sharper as a result of all of the greens in the powder as well and my stomach eases. However, the king of all greens is just to eat the greens themselves. It is unfortunate that the ideal amount of greens a person should eat according to science and nutritionists is massive, equating to several plates of greens and greens within a smoothie each day. If you're young, this might be all you need, but don't forget to balance your meals with some greens every time you eat if you're not having a big salad two or three times a day.

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2018
I purchased this item few month ago and it was great. So I decided to buy it again and I had chance to compare the old and the new onw. Could you see the color difference? Also, the product smell changed. not light and little damp. (the thing on the spoon is the old one. and I added lot numbers to whom want compare theirs with mine. sorry that pic was too light). So I emailed the company but they did not answer it. Product quality problem? That's okay. It alwayes happens. Or the ratio of ingredients could be changed. That is okay, too. But not answering to the customer? It goes to bad ending. I had great time with this product but that's it. I will not buy this again until they answer what is going on and why this happen.
