The “Hype” Behind Greens Extra Energy
Today we want to put the spotlight on our best-selling greens powder to remind you of all the ways it’s been designed to provide you with a daily boost of immediate and lasting energy from all-natural sources.
What is extra energy?
Did you know our greens extra energy has been proven to increase energy by an average of 56% daily? Let’s break down what this actually means.
When we say ‘energy’, we’re referring to the automatic mental clarity and physical boost of vitality you get to take on your day. When your vital organs like your heart, brain and stomach are functioning normally, they build coherence. Coherence leads to all bodily systems working productively, holistically and in harmony.
This is what makes greens extra energy so powerful. It's a formula that supplies you with energizing compounds from herbs and antioxidants, while also streamlining how your body harnesses and uses this energy in the most efficient ways to keep you running on a full tank. Because we only use natural ingredients, you don’t have to worry about feeling jittery from an overload of sugar (glucose) or experiencing a sudden energy crash later, that leaves you tired, moody and unmotivated all over again.
Where does the extra energy come from?
As you look through all the options on store shelves to find something that will keep you awake and alert all day (that isn’t coffee or a sugar-spiked energy drink), you may be wondering how to choose the best option. Our greens formula has been created to make this process easy for you, by only including pure, all-natural ingredients that come from the highest-quality plant-based sources – the base of the food chain.
