I’ve been using green vibrance off and on for a year, this is a valuable part of my low carb diet.

If you ask me this helps my digestion, Alone it works, but works better when add this to something like metamucil or fiber drink. I like to use this as a nighttime drink. I’ll mix it with a little protein like muscle milk+ greenvibrance+ metamucil. Its a very palatable combination.

The taste is lacking wayyyy too green but I think i’m getting results from it. I usually have to mask the flavor with something.

I think that barlean greens has green vibrance beat on taste but I think that this one works better.

Hi Ab, You can experiment with how many servings per day works best for you. I would probably figure 1 or 2, but more if your body really works well with it. I would not exceed 3 or 4. If you want to keep the calories down, then mix GV with any low-calorie (or no-calorie) beverage. It can be water or anything low-cal. As far as using it with something else, you can look at my article on green drink additives for some ideas. Enjoy!

ADMIN-Hello, i just started taking GV and yea, its not the best tasting thing in the world but the stuff thats best for us never is. I drink it with water and just chug. I have a few questions on this. Is it best to just drink it with water? I am looking to loss some serious weight and I was wondering if this will help (in addition to eating healthy & exercise), if so, is there a certain amount I should intake. Is just one serving enough? Should I use it in addition to something else? Also, I want my hair to grow out fast! Will this also help with that?

Hi Jeff,
Taking a green drink before or after you work out depends on your goals. Remember that eating before workouts supports the catabolic process (less weight gain), while eating after a workout supports the anabolic process (more weight gain and muscle building). The protein drink is going to add more calories than the green drink, so keep that in mind when you decide when to take it. For example, if you want to gain muscle mass, then take the green drink before you work out and the protein drink after. If you want to stay trim, then do the opposite (although I’d recommend a non-dairy source of protein if you want to stay trim). Keep in mind that enough time has to pass between the two, or the whey protein could interfere with the absorption of nutrients from the green drink. Come back and let us know how it goes.

hello Peter,
Well, personally, I would not mix a green drink with whey protein, since whey is a dairy product and could inhibit the body’s ability to absorb the nutrients from the green drink. If you want a protein source to go along with the GV, I’d suggest a hemp protein powder or hemp mixed with garbanzo powder (chick peas). These are both non-dairy forms of protein that the body will absorb more easily and they won’t interfere with the GV. You can find sources for hemp protein online…I’m not sure about the chick pea powder.

As for how many servings per day…the label recommends one serving per day, but I’ve personally taken up to 3 per day without problems. However, GV does contain Green Tea extract, which means it has some caffeine and may keep some people awake at night if taken later in the day. Use your body’s reaction as a guide and increase gradually — don’t just suddenly up your dose.

I absolutely love this product and have been taking it for the past three years. However, I have a few questions: 1.) I take GV mixed with whey protein everyday and was wondering if that is okay? 2.) Additional, I was wondering how many times daily should you take GV?

Thanks,

Peter

I’ve taken GV mixed with orange juice, and taken my vitamin supplement, calcium supplement, fish oil and flax seed oil at the same time. Does taking all of these at once interfere with the absorption of the GV nutrients?

Scott, you should cut back on GV and see a dermatologist. Bring the GV canister with you, so the doctor can look at the ingredients to see if there’s something that might be causing this reaction. Good luck!

I have broken out with eczema on my face and it seems to be spreading. Do you think it is from the Green Vibrance? I have been drinking about 6 times what it calls for.
