Indigo Greens Powder 7.2 g by Ortho Molecular Products

If you routinely miss 5+ servings of produce, a greens powder is a practical backstop. It suits frequent travelers, busy professionals who skip salads, and picky eaters who want more polyphenols and fiber without a full kitchen. It’s also useful if your Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy and Omega-3 Index are fine but your diet quality is the weak link. For weight loss programs with fewer vegetables, it helps keep micronutrient and phytonutrient intake steadier.

A greens powder concentrates plant polyphenols (the colorful compounds in fruits and vegetables) and small amounts of prebiotic fibers that feed gut bacteria. Those bacteria ferment fiber into short-chain fatty acids, which help the gut barrier and influence inflammation markers like hs-CRP (a blood test for systemic inflammation). Antioxidants also help recycle cellular defenses. Expect subtle nutrition insurance, not a cure-all; effects on fasting insulin, A1C, or ALT (a liver enzyme) are modest and depend on your baseline diet.

Mix one scoop with 8–10 oz of water or a smoothie once daily as directed. Most people do best in the morning with breakfast or post-workout. If you’re sensitive to fiber, start with half a scoop for a week, then increase. Consistency matters more than timing; steady use for 4 to 8 weeks is when changes in regularity, energy stability, or hs-CRP trends, if any, tend to show up.

If you use warfarin (a blood thinner), large or variable vitamin K intake from greens can affect dosing; either keep intake consistent and coordinate with your clinician or skip it. Recurrent calcium oxalate kidney stones warrant caution with high-oxalate greens; take with a calcium-containing meal and hydrate. Low-FODMAP eaters and IBS should start with a small dose to avoid gas or bloating. Pregnancy and nursing: review the full label for herb content with your clinician.
