Green Drink Reviews: Vitamineral Green
June 20th, 2009
New Formulation
One of the best green superfood drinks is now a bit better with a new, updated formulation that provides more nutrition for the same price — and enhances the taste for better combining with juices, chocolates, or milks. The new formulation has some added greens, including basil leaf, moringa leaf (a super botanical from India that helps purify the blood, calm the nerves and much more), yacon leaf (detoxing and sweetness without sugar), and alma berry. It also has a few extra seaweeds, which gives the product a wider variety of nutrients. In all, Vitamineral Green now has a more robust formulation and a better flavor.
Ben Kim’s Greens, Billy’s Greens, Sun Is Shining, and Vitamineral Green are all formulated at the same laboratory — by expert formulator Jameth Sheridan of Health Force Nutritionals. Sheridan’s own product, Vitamineral Green, is one of my favorite green drink products. It has a lot of grasses, which are high in nutrients, plus it is high in spirulina and various seaweeds too, so you can bet you’re getting a quality blend here. To compliment the grasses is a healthy dose of Nettle and juices of alfalfa, dendelion, broccoli, kale and other veggies. There are no fruits other than alma berry, but honestly, most green products don’t have enough fruits to make them a substitute for the “Red” products, so the lack of a fruit blend is not a huge negative on my list. Vitamineral Green clocks in at $3.11 per ounce, which makes it one of the best values among the super robust formulas.

I love Vitamineral Green. Ive been using it everyday for several months & it sure has helped improve my health. The con is the taste, however if you use the right combination of ingredients you can make it work. It’s expensive though, but I finally found a place that sells it cheaper $40. You have to buy in bulk, but its well worth it. Dimondhealth.com. Great customer service too.

5 oz size also available, for 17-19$. Great product!

It would be nice to know what the standard “nutrition facts” for Vitamineral green are. I’d like to know how much of which minerals and vitamins I am specifically getting from it. Ya know? I have faith that its much better for you than traditional vitamins, but it would be nice to be able to make sure you’re actually getting the vits and mins that you need and in the correct quantities.

I like to get it from Health Food Emporium. It’s always fresh and they ship it out the same day to me. This is a great product and never wavers in quality.

i too get it from dimondhealth.com because it’s so cheap and sometimes there are sales that make it even cheaper. this and sun warrior protein power are my favorites.

What is the significant differences between The Sun Is Shining supergreens and the Vitamineral Greens?
7. admin | July 25th, 2009 at 8:42 pm
Hi John — there is no significant difference between these two products that I’m aware of.

Does your green drink contain any algaes, spirulina or chlorella?
9. admin | July 30th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Don, just to clalrify, we are an independent review site, not the manufacturer…so these are not “our” green drinks. We receive inquiries from time to time that assume we are the manufacturer…so I wanted to clear that up.
Anyway, I can answer your question. Vitamineral Green does contain spirulina and chlorella, along with some seaweeds.

What about All Day Energy Greens? How good is that product? I received a mailing about it so it made me curious. Any insight you can shed on it would be very much appreciated.

Vitamineral Green is great stuff. I use it to replace my multivitamin as they do not dissolve well, even the good ones. For taste I add some STEVIA and drink it in a ceramic cup for less “visual” as it is very green looking. Some folks add apple juice but I prefer less sugar. Start off with a teaspoon. One may get a bit constipated if you start off with a full tablespoon after a few days. This goes well with Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s classic lifesaving book:EAT TO LIVE. This idea is that we need micronutrients not MACRO nutrients these days. Vitamineral Green really adds these in a convenient way.

Hi, during a recent visit to my Chiropractor, I came across a product called Protein Greens (and their orginial product, Natural Greens) by Chirporactor’s Blend. I did not see either mentioned in your reviews. Is it possible for you to add it on? I would greatly appreciate it. I am only 31, and within the past year I have experienced many health problems. I believe that eating healthy can improve my quality of life, and I am looking to add some of these products to my diet, but I want to be sure I get the best bang for my buck. Also, I see there are also a number of “protein green” powders on the market – do you plan on reveiwing any of these anytime soon? What a great and informative website, by the way. Thanks in advance for your help!

I am impressed that it has moringa in it. We grow moringa trees because they are high vitamin and phytonutrient dense. I didn’t know I could get moringa in a supplement.

I read the comments listed but did not see any comments on ‘All Day Energy Greens’. Have you any reviews on that product or information about their labs and quality.
16. admin | February 2nd, 2010 at 11:54 am
Nothing yet, Bruce, but I’ll add it to the list. Thanks for the suggestion.
