Green superfood powders have a lot of minerals and vitamins that are essential to maintain good immunity.

Vitamin A reduces inflammation. Selenium that is found in most green superfood powders boosts immunity.

Superfood powders also help ward of chronic infections. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals that can damage cells. Vitamins C and K are potent antioxidants.

Vitamin K which is also found in many superfood powders helps to maintain healthy blood vessels and prevents bleeding problems. The vitamin might even improve vision and reduce the risk of age-induced dementia.

Minerals like potassium and calcium in superfood powders are vital for blood pressure management. Just one daily serving of superfood powder decreases both systolic and diastolic BP in hypertensive individuals.

Do superfood powders replace vegetables?

While superfood powders certainly deliver much of the value from these nutrient-rich foods, they will not totally replace vegetables or fruits.

Green superfood powder is made from desiccated vegetables and fruits. The process retains most of the goodness in superfoods. However fiber content is often lost in the preparation. This is one reason why superfood powders cannot replace vegetables entirely.

Eating whole foods ensures a balanced diet, and the nutritional benefits needed for good health can be assured by adding superfood powders to your meals. An extra boost of antioxidants and vitamins will go further in enhancing the nutritional value and benefits of your superfood diet.

But before beginning any dietary supplement or superfood powders, be sure to consult your physician. Sometimes the ingredients in such formulations may interfere with other medicines and lead to health issues.
