Suggested Usage

• Add 2 scoops (or more) to 8 ounces of filtered water. As part of a high-energy weight loss program substitute Vitality for your breakfast meal. If you want to gain weight, you'll find Vitality SuperGreen provides that extra nourishment when taken along with a larger meal. Refrigerate after opening.

What makes Vitality SuperGreen different from all the other green drinks on the market today? Why is ours so special? With a unique focus on nourishing the inner ecosystem, this very alkalizing formula, specially created by Donna Gates, may help soothe and rebuild the lining of your intestines.^1-3

A generous amount of nutrient-rich elements like L-glutamine, FOS from chicory inulin, GMO-free sunflower lecithin, and aloe vera extract (200:1) help establish and maintain a healthy mucosal lining.^4-6 As the leader in fermented foods and nutrition, we know how important it is to establish and nourish an inner ecosystem. This civilization of beneficial microbes needs healthy food just like you do -- and they love algae. 

So, we've spared no cost in blending together an extraordinary spectrum (or life force) of fermented algae and cereal grasses, fermented green veggies, enzymes, probiotics, and food-based supplements, providing you the highest quality green drink on the market today. Use it to rebuild and support your immunity and to create new vitality.^7-9

Consuming fermented algae as a superfood may not only impact immune function in as few as eight weeks, as studies have reported.¹⁰ It might also give you renewed energy. When Japanese researchers administered either chlorella (algae) or a placebo to younger people, they were surprised to find that the algae-consuming group showed improvements in endurance. This was marked by a significant increase in peak oxygen uptake – meaning, chlorella could help boost output and performance.¹¹

It’s not just a bestseller

Vitality SuperGreen is a time-tested favorite among our Body Ecology community: Mix it up each morning and for an afternoon boost.

Vitality SuperGreen is an excellent source of complete, easily-assimilated protein, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, lignans, essential fatty acids, nucleic acids, and beneficial microbes.

Newly reformulated to include fermented algae, fermented greens, and sunflower lecithin, Vitality SuperGreen is a synergistic formula that features:

• Algae: Cracked-wall chlorella; red marine algae; dulse powder (palmaria palmata)
• Cereal grass: Barley grass juice; alfalfa juice
• Intestinal support blend: L-glutamine; chicory root inulin (fiber); flaxseed fiber; sunflower lecithin (GMO-free); aloe vera extract (200:1)
• Fermented vegetable blend: Organic spinach, organic parsley, organic kale
• Fermented algae blend: Spirulina, BioAstin Astaxanthin, chlorella, dunaliella salina, kelp, barley grass, oat grass, alfalfa grass, barley flakes
• Probiotic power blend:Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus delbreukii (caseii, bulgaricus, causasicus, fermenti, plantarum, brevis, helveticus, leichmanni, lactis.) Bifidabacterium bifidum, Saccharomyces boulardii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
• Super supplement blend: Rice bran extract (antioxidant); acerola extract; rhodiola rosea; bilberry extract; Biovin Grapeseed extract; beta 1,3 glucan (dual standard)
• Vanilla and stevia

When we wake up in the morning, our intestines are dehydrated.  Our body is still waking up and needs time to get into full gear, so easy-to-digest foods are a must.

First, drink 12 to 16 ounces of warm or room-temperature mineral water. Then stir Body Ecology’s Vitality SuperGreen into some young coconut kefir and add some chia seeds. Let this thicken for several minutes, and you have a great drink that will nurture your intestines.  

You can also make a Morning Greens Smoothie, in the morning or any time of day. Blend water, a stalk of celery, a leaf of romaine lettuce, half of a zucchini, a small sour green apple, some chia seeds, half an avocado, a big handful of mint, a few drops of stevia, and 2 scoops Vitality SuperGreen, and you have an alkalizing, high-fiber drink.

Contains no fillers and no excipients. 279 grams. If taken once daily, one container will last for one month.

Suggestions for use: Add 2 scoops (or more) to 8 ounces of filtered water. Enjoy it for breakfast or as an afternoon pick-me-up! Refrigerate after opening.

Although this is a great-tasting drink, to make it a little sweeter, add a few drops of Body Ecology's liquid stevia concentrate to taste as desired.
