For some people searching for optimal health, we often use supplements. Two popular options are green powders and multivitamins. However, with so much information and choosing the best option can be confusing. We are going to break down some key differences to help you choose which supplement is the best for you. Maybe both can fit your needs.
The Powerhouse that Is Green Powders
Green powders are concentrated blends that include pulverized vegetables, fruits and in some green powders even algae. They are a great way to pack all the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and any other important nutrients into your everyday diet.
Green Powders Pros
Whole-Food Based: Green Powders offer a natural approach to intake your nutrients compared to vitamins and multivitamins.
Antioxidants: These help to fight cell damage and help reduce the risk of all chronic diseases.
Digestive Support: Many Green powders are formulated with enzymes and probiotics that can help with your digestion.
Energy boost: The chlorophyll that is found in green powders can help with energy levels.
Easy to drink: There are many easy ways to intake your greens. You can mix it with water or add it to your favorite smoothie. It’s convenient and delicious.
Green Powder Cons
Taste: Green powders aren’t really known for their flavor.
Nutrient Gaps: They may not contain all the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs at optimal dosage.
Multivitamins are formulated in capsules or tablets that contain a variety of vitamins and minerals. They aim to help bridge any gaps in nutrition you may have in your diet and ensure you are getting your daily recommended intake of nutrients.
Multivitamin Pros
Convenience: One dosage provides a range of important minerals and vitamins.
Options: Multivitamins come in various formulas to target specific needs, for example prenatal vitamins or for older adults.
Multivitamins Cons
Synthetic: Some multivitamins out in the market contain synthetic vitamins, which your body does not absorb as well as those from whole foods.
Megadose: High doses of vitamins and minerals can be harmful and counterproductive.
Not a Substitution: Multivitamins shouldn’t be a substitution for eating a well balanced diet that is rich in whole foods and fiber.
