Study, Trial or Testing Result Summary
Members Only110 human studies · 58 improved
2 of these 110 human studies gave the ingredient by drip, not by mouth.
The best-matched ingredient at a full dose is spirulina. In a 12-week trial of 60 adults with constipation-type irritable bowel, 1 gram a day eased symptoms and improved quality of life more than a placebo [1]. This product gives 1.5 grams. Peppermint has strong support from reviews of many trials for irritable bowel symptoms and belly pain [2][3]. Those studies used peppermint oil capsules, though, and this product contains peppermint leaf powder, so the results may not carry over. Some trials also found no clear benefit [4][5]. Several helpful ingredients are well below the studied amounts. Blueberries helped 53 percent of people with gut disorders, against 30 percent on placebo, but at the equivalent of 180 grams of fresh berries [6]. Ginger eased bloating and fullness at 400 milligrams [7], and this product gives 50 milligrams. Pomegranate helped bloating only as part of a probiotic blend at 400 milligrams [8]. Milk thistle reaches the studied dose only at three servings a day [9]. Vitamin C, calcium, iron and potassium are present in small amounts and showed no benefit for bowel comfort [10][11][12]. Wheatgrass, kale, chlorella and most of the other greens have no human studies for this goal. Animal and cell studies are never counted.

Review Totals and Summary
Members Only71 reviews · 92% positive
Across the stores that sell it, this greens powder carries about 71 ratings, and the feedback leans positive, with most buyers praising the mixed berry taste and how easily it mixes, and a few raising doubts about sweetness, effect and the label. **What buyers say it did for them:** Several buyers use it as a daily routine item. One says it is taken "every morning to boost gut health," and another reports their "stomach has felt so much lighter this week." One reviewer says it adds "more green fibres" on days without enough veggies. Another is satisfied so far and finds it "easy to include in my daily routine." One buyer says they "don't feel anything" when taking it and are unsure if it works. **What they complain about:** The complaints are few and varied. One buyer finds it "very sweet" and cannot take the full dose. Another says it is "not fully soluble." One reviewer points to a cancer warning on the label and says the product was close to its expiry date. One says they are "not sure if its effective or not." **Taste, smell and form:** Taste draws the most praise. One buyer expected it to taste like "lawn clippings" and found the berry flavor "actually really good." Others call the taste "great" or "acceptable," and one says it is good "hot or cold." Mixing gets mixed comments: some say it "dissolves easily in water" and "mixes super smooth," while another notes it does not fully dissolve. **Value for money:** Price comes up a few times. One buyer calls it a "good price," while another says the price is good "only for buy one get one free deals," which suggests it may feel pricey at full cost. **Who it seems to suit and who it did not:** It seems to suit people who want a berry flavored greens drink they can stir into water and who like a long ingredients list; one buyer chose it for the "comprehensive ingredients list." It suited less well those who dislike sweet drinks, those who expect to notice an effect right away, and the buyer who was put off by the label warning and the near expiry date.
Biohacker Summary
Members Only9 of 10 recommend it
Spirulina, the main ingredient, gets a mostly positive but split response: of the five panelists who spoke on it, three recommend it, one is neutral, and one has stopped. Those in favor point to better sleep, lower stress, better mood and faster recovery, including help with rhinitis, and one simply names their favorite spirulina tablets. The neutral voice puts it in the okay tier and cautions that most spirulina can be contaminated with heavy metals, so careful sourcing matters. The one who stopped says it lacks essential nutrients like protein and can cause bloating and low energy. No one gave a dose or a preferred form beyond tablets, and none described a pairing. Among the smaller ingredients in this product, vitamin C, potassium and iron drew the most comments, mostly positive, with some caution about calcium and iron supplements.

Thomas DeLauer · Spirulina · recommends
- Recommends spirulina, stating that it improves sleep quality, decreases stress scores, and improves mood by reducing inflammation and providing tryptophan for serotonin production.
- Explains that Urolithin A is derived from pomegranates, but eating pomegranates does not provide the same absorption of Urolithin A as a pure supplement.

RAL Summary
Members OnlyTier 3 for Digestion and Bloating
Tier 3 fits: 92 percent of 71 reviews are positive, and full-dose spirulina has one small trial showing better bowel symptoms [1]. The peppermint trials used oil rather than leaf powder, so they give only indirect support.
Take 3 servings a day (3 scoops) to match the dose that worked in the studies.
Where the evidence disagrees: 34 of the 110 human studies found no effect.
More Details
Members OnlyBody systems · Combine with · Possible side effects
Body systems: Digestive system
Combine with: For sensitive bowels and digestion, the greens and fiber here are often paired with psyllium husk, since both add bulk and water to stool, and with magnesium citrate, which draws water into the gut and works on the same irregularity pathway. Probiotic strains such as Lactobacillus plantarum are often paired with fiber because the fiber feeds them. Fennel seed is often paired with ginger-type herbs for gas, as both relax gut muscle.
Possible side effects: Peppermint oil caused more side effects than placebo in some reviews, mostly mild heartburn, and iron can upset the stomach. Buyers mainly mentioned that it is very sweet and does not fully dissolve.
