Thorne Daily Greens Plus Review
Thorne Daily Greens Plus is a comprehensive greens powder with matcha, spirulina, moringa, adaptogen, mushroom and antioxidant blends, sold in a refreshing mint flavor. The page lists the product as a 7.3 oz container with 30 servings, while the specifications section lists a size of 6.7 oz. The product is presented as a daily greens powder for a healthy mind and body that supports foundational nutrition and promotes healthy aging. Thorne describes it as containing 28 powerhouse ingredients designed to promote physical endurance, cognitive performance, and cellular energy production, and to provide antioxidants so that users can feel vibrant today and for years to come. The greens blend includes matcha, spirulina, moringa, kelp, and more, which Thorne says provide foundational nutrient, antioxidant, gut health, and detoxification support. The page states that each green used in the formula meets Thorne's strict standards for purity and sustainability. It also says the product has been third-party tested and certified to verify that what is in the package matches the label and to confirm it contains no unsafe levels of contaminants. The listing notes that Thorne is trusted by more than 100 professional sports teams and is described as the number one most recommended clinical brand by consumers and health-care practitioners, based on a 2026 independent survey of US supplement consumers and health-care practitioners. The specifications list the brand as Thorne, the form as powder, the primary ingredient as Vitamin D3, and the flavor as mint. The item is listed as one pack. The price shown is USD 72.00, and the item is currently marked out of stock for shipping, pickup and delivery. A subscription option is also shown alongside a one-time purchase at the same price. The page includes sections for product details, indications, directions, ingredients and warnings, but those sections contain no text in this scrape. Customers can report incorrect product information through the page. The listing carries a rating of 4 out of 5 stars from 197 reviews.

Study, Trial or Testing Result Summary
Members OnlyHuman studies
We were not given any studies on this product's ingredients for energy, so no research findings can be reported here. The label we have lists only olive oil at 6.8 grams per serving, which is likely an incomplete record of a greens powder. The store listing adds olive oil powder, flavor, citric acid and monk fruit concentrate. It also says matcha supplies about 35 milligrams of caffeine per serving, and caffeine may explain some of the energy that buyers describe. The amounts of the other greens, fermented greens or mushroom powders that reviewers mention are not shown, so we cannot say whether any of them is present at a dose that has been studied. Most buyers rate the product well, and many report more or steadier energy and better workout recovery. Taste is the most common complaint. Without studies, these reports cannot be tied to any single ingredient, and members should treat the energy benefit as unproven. Animal and cell studies are never counted.
Review Totals and Summary
Members Only8,381 reviews · 83% positive
Across the two stores the product shows 8,184 ratings in total (197 at Walmart and 61 at Vitacost), and the themes below come from the written reviews that could be read on their pages. Both pages are for the powder, and no other forms were mixed in. Taste is the most divisive theme. At Walmart, several reviewers call the flavor bitter or unpleasant, and one calls it terrible and says nothing hot or cold could mask it. Another argues that greens are not meant to taste sweet and that a few minutes of bad taste is fine if the product supports general wellbeing. Others find it easy to take or "healthy tasting" rather than sweet, and one short review just says great flavor. At Vitacost, one reviewer says it mixes well in water without the grassy taste common to greens powders, and another calls it an easy way to cover their greens. A different Vitacost reviewer found the taste made it hard to take consistently, even while acknowledging possible benefits. Energy and recovery are the main praise. One Walmart reviewer reports recovering better from workouts after two months, likes the taste, finds it easy to take, and notes no negative side effects, while admitting causality is hard to prove. Another calls it clean energy and nutritional support. At Vitacost, reviewers mention more energy in the mornings (one skips breakfast), feeling more energized and invigorated, and steadier energy after a few weeks. Several tie this to a broader routine, citing stress support, antioxidant benefits, and detoxification. One reviewer reports improved skin appearance after a few weeks, though that was a single report. Another notes the formulation includes fermented greens and mushroom powders and found it invigorating. Quality and trust are also recurring points. One Walmart reviewer calls it the best greens powder on the market, credits Thorne with scientific formulation, and says the blend ratios can be trusted. Vitacost reviewers describe the quality as impressive and say Thorne quality can be tasted and trusted. In contrast, one critical Walmart reviewer says they used to trust Thorne but no longer do since the brand was acquired by a larger pharmaceutical company, and doubts the quality has been maintained. On value and packaging, the same critical Walmart reviewer says the container is very small for the price and that similar products from other brands cost less. By contrast, one Vitacost customer found good quality for the cost. The most helpful negative and positive Walmart reviews both center on these taste and value points. As for who it suits, reviewers describe it as a backup for vegetables they do not eat as well as they should, and as a fit for people wanting energy, workout recovery, or a convenient daily greens routine, provided they can tolerate the flavor. Vitacost's reviews were originally posted on iHerb and displayed there, and the five written comments carry dates from May 16 to June 13, 2026. Its star histogram shows 48 five-star, 2 four-star, 7 three-star, 2 two-star, and 2 one-star ratings out of 61. Overall, the written feedback is positive on energy and quality, with taste as the main reservation, and with price, small container size, and the brand's ownership change as the main complaints.
Biohacker Summary
Members Only10 of 10 recommend it
The product's listing gives no single main ingredient, so the panel's comments mostly centre on vitamin D, which all ten of them or nearly all touched on, and every ingredient named here is a smaller ingredient in this product. Most of the panel recommends or uses vitamin D, for immune health, muscle, brain and longevity, with several saying to get blood levels tested; one gave a daily dose of 5000 units of D3 in the morning, another urged at least 10,000 units in winter, and another said to take it with dietary fat for better absorption. Zinc, a smaller ingredient in this product, was recommended by several for testosterone, sperm health, gut lining and immunity, with doses of 15 milligrams daily from one and 30 milligrams from two others, and one pairs it with vitamin C. Carbohydrates and amino acids, also smaller ingredients, drew only a few comments: carbohydrates at dinner helped sleep for two, while one cut them when trying to lean out, and amino acids were used by two for muscle and as a lighter alternative to whey.

Members OnlyBody systems · Combine with · Possible side effects
Body systems: Nervous system, Digestive system, Musculoskeletal system
Combine with: If muscle building is the goal, pair this greens blend with products that directly support hypertrophy. Whey or casein protein, or a complete plant protein blend, should provide 20-40 g of protein per serving to reach about 1.6-2.2 g/kg/day. Creatine monohydrate (3-5 g daily) is the most evidence-backed supplement for strength and lean mass. Added leucine or EAAs can help if total protein intake is low. Vitamin D3 with K2, magnesium glycinate, and omega-3 fish oil support recovery, hormone function, and inflammation control. The greens can then act as a micronutrient and antioxidant foundation, and a probiotic can add digestive support. Resistance training and sufficient calories matter most.
Possible side effects: No side effects were reported in studies, since none were given. Reviewers mainly complain of a bitter or unpleasant taste, and one reports no negative side effects. The listing notes about 35 milligrams of caffeine per serving.
