Your favorite veggie/fruit supplement?

[ChristoffH]

I know nothing is better than eating the real thing. But in all honesty I don't get the requires 5 servings of it like I should. What is your favorite supplement?

I currently take Animal Pak multi's and Now Super EPA and flaxeed oil.

My sister is very health conscious and just started taking naturerich greens

She said it gave her a huge boost in energy when she started taking it and she loves it. I've been wanting to try this but it's a bit pricey at $40-45 for a month supply.

I've also seen Vigor being talked about a lot.

What is your favorite and what do you feel benefits you the best with health/energy?

There's so many out there and every product of course says it's the best. Despite all the searching and reading I do I'm still strung between the products offered.

Vigor, which is loaded with both potent anti-oxidants and phytochemicals.

I am researching products in this area... you are right -- there are a lot of products to wade through. You mention two different types of products (the greens drink and Vigor, more of a phytochemical/anti-oxident type supplement). Your green drink has herbals, some veggies, greens, probiotics, and more... and there are a few similar products that look great out there.

Vigor looks like a solid product as well, and I will likely pick some up in the future.

As for now, I picked up a couple of these last month from vitamin world (buy one, get one free) to try them out. One is their Life's Greens product which is similar to the one you listed and the other is their "10 Vegetables" tablets, which is somewhat similar to Vigor. I had the cash handy and the were buy one/get one free so it was kind of and educated impulse purchase.

The greens drink has alfalfa and other grasses, so it is not surprising that it tases like a bale of hay. (To me, this is actually pleasant as I grew up working around hay -- literally tons of hay.)
The veggie tablets are fairly complete and cover a range of phytochemicals, just like Vigor that you mentioned.

I don't think I'll be putting together a fancy breakdown, but (if you remind me as I will forget or lose this thread), I might have a more concise comparison in a few weeks.

Also, I don't feel it's one or the other with these. I take one or two of the "10 Veggies" tabs every day or every other day. The greens drink says not to take for more than 30 days in a row w/o a break. I'm not sure why that is other than it is a probiotic, has royal jelly, and some other stuff in there that I'm not quite sure what it's contributing to...

Hope that helps a bit.

Garden of Life Perfect Food. At first I took it in powder form, but it really tastes awful. I switched to pill form. After a week or so, I felt so much healthier and full of energy (goes to show you how you can feel if you eat your fruits and vegetables). It also made me go #2 really, really well (hell yeah I'm proud of it.).
