Best "green" supplement?

carazzz

I'm looking to add a "green" supplement our nutritional regimen. So
many choices: Green Magma, Vitamineral Green, Miracle Greens...etc.
Any thoughts on which is the best for ES?

FYI, Seasilver is already part of the current program and Primal
Defense will be added shortly.

Thanks,
Cara

I've tried a bunch of these, but I'm not sure which I would consider
to be the "best". One thing to look out for is spirulina and/or
chlorella content, as ES and mercury sensitive people can have
negative reactions both of these ingredients.

For what it's worth, today I will be eating an Odwalla "Superfood"
bar, plus a small amount of Green Magma Barley powder. But
in the past I've certainly used a lot of other stuff. Vitamineral
Green is another powerful one, and it's got a lot of soil based
probiotics in it, which might make it redundant with the Primal
Defense.

Oh, also "Juice Plus" seems to be highly regarded
in nutritional circles. I don't believe any of
their products use algaes, in case spirulina
and chlorella is a problem. I think they have
3 products -- one is concentrated fruits, one
is concentrated vegetables, and one is an
antioxidant. I'my currently using the
antioxidant capsules ("Vineyard") for allergies,
and I'm pretty convinced it helps my ES symptoms
too. I haven't been on it that long though,
so I've never mentioned it here before...

Thanks Marc. I'm going with the Green Magma. I noticed the spirulina
and chlorella listed on the Miracle Greens and you're right, the
probiotics in the Vitamineral Green would be redundant with the
Primal Defense.

I was a bit torn on whether to look for an "all in one" supplement
(fewer things to take -- a big factor when you're already sick and
don't need more stuff to do/keep track of) or to keep the supplements
separate so I can more easily identify which individual element is
having a positive or negative effect. For now, I'm favoring the
latter approach.

I add my voice to Marc's concerning those supplements which contain
spirulina or chlorella. These algae absorb mercury and other toxic
metals out of the water they're grown in. I haven't seen any that
test mercury free in lab trials. So if your ES is mercury, or other
toxic metal, related these algae can do a real number on you,
especially if you've recently had your mercury amalgams removed.

A safer way than trying the supplements straight off is using muscle
response testing and/or energetic testing offered by a seasoned
expert. Many complementary medicine practitioners offer this. For
