Indigo Greens Capsules 1.9 g by Ortho Molecular Products

Busy adults who miss the 5–9 daily servings of produce are the real fit here. This greens supplement gives you a daily dose of plant polyphenols when travel, takeout, or picky eating get in the way. It’s useful if your diet quality is inconsistent or your hs-CRP (a general inflammation marker) runs higher and you’re addressing lifestyle. If you already eat a variety of colorful plants most days, you’ll see less upside.

The organic fruit and greens blend delivers polyphenols and carotenoids, the plant compounds that upregulate your cells’ own antioxidant enzymes and help neutralize free radicals. Polyphenols also feed gut bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids like butyrate (fuel for the cells lining your colon). Leafy-green nitrates convert to nitric oxide, a gas that relaxes blood vessels. Think phytonutrient coverage, not fiber or protein replacement.

Take 3 capsules daily, ideally with a meal that contains some fat so carotenoids absorb better and to avoid mild nausea on an empty stomach. Morning or midday works well. You can open the capsules into yogurt or a smoothie if you dislike pills. This is a maintenance-level phytonutrient dose; it will not replace a high-fiber food like vegetables, beans, or oats.

If you use warfarin (a blood thinner that interacts with vitamin K), keep your intake of green-vegetable products steady or avoid without clinician guidance. Separate from iron supplements by two hours since polyphenols can reduce iron absorption. Those on potassium-restricted diets for kidney disease should review any greens supplement with their care team. Pregnancy is generally fine with whole foods; ask your obstetric clinician before adding blends.
