LiveGood Organic Super Greens is a great addition to any diet. It is super high in vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. This is a supplement to a healthy diet. This is not used to replace eating fruits and vegetables. It’s always best to get our nutrients from whole foods first and foremost, but you can think of this supplement as a “safety net”. Also, I want to point out that if you look at the ingredients in LiveGood’s Super Greens, these are not ingredients that you eat on a regular basis.
Table of Contents
These are not ingredients that you can just go to your local grocery store and find. I’m talking about the grasses, the wheatgrass, the barley, grass, the moringa, the matcha, I mean matcha is easier to get, but there are a lot of supplements in here that you don’t get on a daily basis. So this is another reason why it’s super important to add this, in addition to eating a healthy diet of salads, broccoli, etc.
Emphasizing Transparency and Ingredient Quantity in Proprietary Blends for Optimal Impact
On the LiveGood nutrition label, we list every single ingredient in the proprietary blend, as well as the exact amount of each of those ingredients. This is very different than most companies. You will see that they list the proprietary blend. They list the total amount of that blend and then they list all the ingredients, but they don’t tell you the exact amount of each ingredient And one of the main reasons why we want to do this is again we preach full transparency. But also, we want to let you know how much of each ingredient that we’re actually putting in there to actually make a difference in your body. Sometimes why that’s not listed is you’ll see that maybe the cheapest least important ingredient is used the most in a proprietary blend and then all the other ingredients, maybe there’s just very little of the one that you’re really looking for.
The Power of Superfoods: Exploring Nutrient-Dense Spirulina as the Ultimate Superfood
The term “Superfood has become widely overused, what does it actually mean? It just means that it’s a food, that’s very high in nutrient density, so a lot of vitamins and it’s a plus if it has macronutrients like fats, carbohydrates or protein. There is no official definition of superfood, It’s more so developed as a marketing term.
The superfood I want to highlight and go deeper on is spirulina. I’d consider spirulina as a real “superfood”. The World Health Organization says it’s the most relevant superfood and NASA uses it in all their space travel programs. It is incredibly high in fats, proteins, carbohydrates, micronutrients, and antioxidants.
Understanding Free Radicals and their Impact on Health
Alright, so I wanted to define superfoods before we talk and then I need to also discuss free radicals and antioxidants. Alright, that is kind of the premise of the whole foundation of this conversation around super greens and why these products are in it And I’m going to start with free radicals. So as humans, we mostly have what’s considered reactive oxygen species. Those occur as a natural metabolism of energy They are naturally occurring. However, we tend to get a lot more of these reactive, nitrogen species or reactive oxygen species because of added stress And what are those things like? We use the obvious one. The ultraviolet radiation like a bad sunburn, can increase our reactive oxygen or our free radicals. Excess alcohol tobacco smoke, not just chemicals pollutants, environmental stuff like if you live near an interstate highway, if you’re breathing in diesel fumes a lot. If you have radon in your house, there’s a whole bunch of other ones.

If you don’t get enough restorative sleep, this can increase our free radicals. And free radicals are highly reactive.
What does that mean?
On an atomic level, there’s an unpaired electron kind of hanging out there and it’s desperate for a partner. It’s looking to attach to anything it can and will in excess in high quantities attach to DNA and proteins and can disrupt DNA and proteins leading to chronic disease causing what they call oxidative stress. It’s a bad systemic, oxidative stress situation.
Now, on the other hand, we have antioxidants. Antioxidants are considered electron donors, They’re, saying “Here you go, let’s pair up, Let’s merge here”. There are naturally occurring antioxidants, foods like phytonutrients foods high in colorful foods. Those are all really dense with antioxidants. So this is where you use the Pac-Man analogy.
So if you have a free, radical kind of hanging out desperate to find something in here, you have Pac-Man sort of our antioxidant coming on just kind of binding and snatching it up. And it’s a real important analogy, because I want you to understand how they can pair up, they can merge, they can match up and then it kind of goes away. Now, unchecked excess free radicals causes oxidative stress, and that is the inflammation pathway to all of our chronic diseases. Cardiovascular disease, for example, typically starts with an insult to the artery, something that causes a particle of cholesterol or lipoprotein to stick to the artery. And believe it or not, reactive oxygen species can cause an LDL to stick to the inside of an artery, which means you start building up plaque, which means you start decreasing blood flow. These are huge problems.
Uncovering the Role of Free Radicals and the Power of Natural Antioxidants in Preventing Chronic Diseases
The free radicals are also part of diabetes. They’re also a big part of cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, vision loss – I mean so if you have unchecked free radicals and not enough antioxidants, it does lead into chronic disease. With that being said, the whole point of this post is to highlight the importance of antioxidants to fight off free radicals. And LiveGood Super Greens can help with this.
The Rising Popularity of Ashwagandha: Unveiling its Ancient Benefits in Western Culture
Have you heard of Ashwagandha?
I don’t think people realize that ashwagandha is one of the ingredients in LiveGood’s Super Greens. Ashwagandha is part of Ayurvedic medicine. This is the traditional Indian medicine that has been in practice for over 6000 years.
Ashwagandha could be considered the flagship of Ayurvedic medicine. For six millennia they have been using this ingredient and it’s just now starting to catch on in our Western culture, which is kind of crazy. Ashwagandha is considered an adaptogen, very good for managing stress response and it has a role in both psychological and physiological roles. It really helps you balance out and manage that stress response. It’s super important in that regard. Super Greens uses an ashwagandha called KSM 66. They’re only using the roots. They’re. not using the leaves of the ashwagandha.
The Nutritional Powerhouses: Moringa and Ashwagandha – Key Benefits and Astonishing Nutrient Content
Have you heard of Moringa? (No, not the “Merengue”… isn’t that a dance from the movie Dirty Dancing?)
You guess it… Moringa is also an ingredient in LiveGood’s Super Greens.
Moringa is the miracle tree and it is …I mean it’s just incredibly nutrient-dense. It has a nice beneficial effect on diabetes and blood glucose. Just take a look at the numbers:
- 7 times more vitamin C than oranges
- 10 times more vitamin A than carrots
- 17 times more calcium than milk
- 9 times more protein than yogurt
- 15 times more potassium than bananas
- and 25 times more iron than spinach.
Moringa is a true “SUPERFOOD” ingredient.

Discover a Smooth and Delicious Way to Incorporate Greens into Your Diet
Sometimes you know I do get some people have a texture issue: Okay, If you’re just a texture person easy way to do, it is put it in a smoothie Okay. If, for some reason you don’t like the taste of the greens, that’s another common thing. Um I mean you know, I don’t understand it because for me I can take anything totally fine, But if you do have that put it in with our protein powder, You cannot taste that it’s there. I promise you that So there goes Ryan, just mixing it up. Um, it kind of helps to keep stirring because it does settle a little bit. This is Whole Foods ingredients guys When you open up as Nada always says, and you open up and smell it. My daughter’s like a fresh garden, And the taste it’s earthy, but you know it’s sweetened. It’s sweetened with monk, fruit, extract and stevia. So again, if you are diabetic or whatnot, this is sugar-free, but it has that little bit of sweetener from the stevia and the monk fruit that helps it.
Promising Studies Highlight the Potential of Spirulina and Alfalfa in Liver Detoxification and Virus Treatment
Alfalfa is the one I was thinking about too for liver detoxification. It actually was done in a study, There’s a big study that was commissioned and they studied the effect of the reverse or the impact of spirulina on liver damage secondary to nicotine exposure, And it was significant. The results were significant, So alfalfa is another quality ingredient that is in the LiveGood Super Greens.
Another study I saw recently had to do with COVID-19 and really the family of coronaviruses. There is a Scottish biotech company that was studying the effect of spirulina and the extract on treating viruses, and very positive results coming out about spirulina and its impact and ability to work and manage whatever, with coronaviruses and all viruses.
Clarifying Wheatgrass: Gluten-Free but Contains Wheat – Advice for Celiac Disease Patients
The LiveGood Super Greens label says: “contains wheat”. That’s because wheatgrass is a wheat product, so we have to put on the label that it contains wheat. But wheatgrass does not contain gluten. So if you follow a gluten-free diet, you should be totally fine here.
When I do get the questions of someone asking if they have celiac disease, always err on the side of caution with celiac disease. And I always recommend asking your doctor, just to be cautious. I know celiac disease, if you consume something that is going to aggravate it, it’s a big deal. You don’t want that to happen, And the reason wheatgrass is gluten-free is just the harvesting method that it goes through. Super Greens definitely contains wheat, but a gluten-free product.
