Green Supplements: Nutrition Facts and Calories

Green supplements are products, often in powder or pill form, made from various green plants, algae, and grasses. Common ingredients include spirulina, chlorella, wheatgrass, and barley grass. People may choose these supplements to complement their diet with additional nutrients. When selecting a green supplement, always check the Nutrition Facts label. Pay close attention to the "Added Sugars" line; the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend no amount of added sugars. Also, review the sodium content, keeping in mind the FDA Daily Value of 2,300 milligrams for adults. The label will also show vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients provided. On the ingredient list, look for the primary green ingredients listed prominently. Be aware of any added artificial colors, flavors, or unnecessary fillers. Remember, supplements are intended to complement, not replace, a balanced diet rich in whole fruits, vegetables, and other nutritious foods. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
