Green Drink Reviews: Dr. Shulze’s Super Food

June 22nd, 2008

The most basic formula I found was Dr. Shulze’s Super Food. This product is a simple mixture of the most basic ingredients with nothing noteworthy to help it stand out from the crowd. The land vegetables are minimal and the product focuses on spirulina and chlorella as its key ingredients — giving it an especially horrible taste . The good news is that it has the lowest price point of the group — at only $2.43 per ounce. I suppose you can take the money you save and buy the flavoring ingredients you’ll need to disguise taste of this product.

Recently, Dr. Shulze came out with a deluxe formula, called Super Food Plus, which has a much more competitive list of ingredients, including grasses, seaweed, beet and spinach leaf, orange peel and lemon peels. Unfortunately, he also added a bit of nutritional yeast, which is rich in nutrients, but many people cannot eat it due to bloating and gastric problems. Shulze claims that the yeast in this product is heated to destroy the “yeast” effect, but not the nutrients. You can try it out and be the judge. The product is still among the least expensive at $2.57 per ounce and this makes is a great value, even though it’s not the most robust formulation.

Manufacturer’s Description

100% Organic Vitamin & Mineral Food concentrate. The constant bombardment we call modern living devours nutrients like a raging forest fire with a 100 m.p.h. tailwind! Getting the extra nutritional blast from my SuperFood Plus can be the missing link you’ve been searching for in your health program. What’s even better is that you can assimilate these foods so easily, the nutrients can enter your bloodstream and go to work within 15 minutes.

Very good value. Strong in grasses and spirulina. Citrus peel is a good addition. Good formula for enhancing with your own added ingredients.

Cons

Horrible taste. Not the most robust of formulas.

Recommended Usage

Two rounded tablespoons of SuperFood Plus, added to your favorite juice or blender drink gives you 2 to 5 of most vitamins you need for the entire day. If you are not used to nutritional drinks, then for the first week use only 1 tablespoon of SuperFood Plus, and then work you way up to 2 tablespoons.
