greens+ gives you the energy to do the things you HAVE to do, so you have the energy to do the things you WANT to do.

- Sam Graci
Revolutionizing the world of nutrition is no easy feat, and despite the powerful formula that Sam had, the road ahead lay fraught with challenges, and people who questioned the benefits of a “green” drink. It wasn’t until Sam met Stewart Brown, the visionary behind GENUINE HEALTH, that the game really began to change. Fighting his own health challenges at the time, Stewart’s life was so dramatically changed by greens+ that he knew his work belonged with Sam in getting this amazing product into the hands of Canadians. With their combined efforts, greens+ began working its magic on all of those that consumed it. Awe-inspiring testimonials began pouring in about the incredible impact of this green drink. Not only did people have more energy, they also looked and felt better. Glowing testimonials weren’t enough for Stewart, and true to his inquisitive self, he pushed for research; research that proved just what so many were saying. Today, greens+ remains the only superfood supplement on the market that is backed by 9 research studies. Nine studies that prove this intelligently thought-out formula does everything it claims to; revolutionary in a market cluttered with unsubstantiated marketing hype. This is the very reason why when other products come and go, we remain number one. The most trusted, the most recommended, the most revolutionary superfood formula out there.
greens+
It all started because of one man; a pioneer ahead of his time, who recognized the power that lives within the food we eat. Sam Graci was working with at-risk teens when he saw first-hand the dramatic effects that a diet devoid of nutrients had not only on the body, but on the mind. When a diet full of rich, colourful nutrient-dense foods were introduced, health followed suit. In a world that was increasingly turning to processed, packaged foods for sustenance, Sam knew he needed to bring his findings to the world. After three years of intense nutritional research and ingredient selection, greens+ was born.

Why Clean Nutrition Is More Important Than Ever As a society, we are progressing at lightning pace, more connectivity, more accessibility, more customization, all in the name of better, stronger, faster. But with this generational advancement has also come a regression when it comes to our diet. Did you know? The state of our soil is making our fruits and veggies less nutritious, by close to 30%*? This is just one of the few realities of our society. Although, this world carries a lot of good, it also carries many things that are against us being the very best we can be in mind, body and spirit. Hectic schedules, cellular radiation, long commutes, missed or inadequate meals - that’s why clean nutrition is more important than ever.

F.A.Q
1
Why are not all greens+ formulas considered gluten free? The original, award-winning greens+ formula as well as booster formulas contains highly
alkalinizing ingredients like wheat grass and barley grass, which are known for their potent health benefits. Wheat grass and barley grass themselves do not contain gluten, but wheat and barley grains do contain gluten. Therefore, trace amounts of gluten may be present through the processing of the grasses. Amazing properties aside, these ingredients do contain trace amounts of gluten, which must be identified under Health Canada regulations. For a certified gluten-free option, Vegan greens+ O is the product for you!
2
Why is skim milk listed as an ingredient on some greens+ products? In the greens+ ORIGINAL and greens+ booster formulas there are 8-strains of probiotics.
These strains are initially cultured on a skim milk medium, and although they are removed from this base and considered to be “non-dairy”, Health Canada regulations require us to list “skim milk” as an ingredient in case of any potential cross-contamination. For a certified dairy-free product, Vegan greens+ O is the product for you! It is important to note that no dairy has been added to the greens+ formula.
3
Why doesn’t greens+ come in a liquid format? greens+ is the only research-proven green formula on the market, but at the present time we
have not been able to meet our high standards of safety to replicate the formula without the use of preservatives while also maintaining the effective nutrient levels in our original formula. We continue to work on a liquid format that provides the same level of quality ingredients, outstanding nutrient profile, and effective results that has made greens+ the #1 green food supplement on the market.
5
What makes greens+ unique to other green food products on the market?
There are so many reasons that make greens+ the number one green food on the market, but what makes us stand out is the time and care that goes into each and every ingredient in each and every bottle of greens+. While others use ground herbs, we take the time to source potent extracts, standardized to ensure their effectiveness. This provides a superior product which has been shown effective not through the amazing testimonials of greens+ believers, but through research as well. It is what has kept people coming back for over 20 years... With greens+ they feel the difference! • Standardized herbal extracts. • The only green food supplement to be backed by 3rd party research studies • greens+ is a true “green” formula unlike other all-in-ones that do not contain enough green food ingredients to promote alkalinity. • A true alkalinizing formula designed to balance and nourish the body. • We care about taste! greens+ has one of the best tasting formulas and flavours on the market.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Lecithin is the most bioavailable “cell-friendly” source of the B-vitamin choline. The active ingredient in lecithin, phosphatidylcholine (PC), is a fatty nutrient that is critically important to the health of the nervous system and is important for healthy mental outlook and the prevention of cognitive decline. Phosphatidylcholine also enhances the absorption of antioxidants in greens+. Lecithin is unique as it allows for both water and fat soluble antioxidants to be absorbed more effectively, and has been shown to play an important role in helping plant-based phytochemicals pass through the gastrointestinal tract. In fact, recent research indicates that taking a green product without PC may result in poor absorption of antioxidants and therefore less effective results. PC in greens+ accounts for 12-15% higher antioxidant activity, compared to other superfood formulas in the market without PC. For those looking to avoid soy, Vegan greens+ O harness the power of lecithin from sunflowers, providing all the same great benefits as our original version.
