Glow & Grow Pack

GREENS MATRIX — 5,000 mg

Nine organic greens: kale, spinach, broccoli, parsley and alfalfa, plus spirulina and chlorella, two nutrient-dense algae, and wheat grass and barley grass. Five full grams, which is more than most greens powders put in the blend they named themselves after. Contains wheat.

REDS MATRIX — 3,000 mg

Ten reds built on polyphenols: beet root, grape seed standardized to 95 percent proanthocyanidins, resveratrol at 20 percent from Japanese knotweed, grape skin, and juice powders from strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, tart cherry, elderberry and cranberry. Three grams, and the pigments are the point.

PROBIOTIC BLEND — 8 Billion CFU

Fourteen strains across Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Streptococcus thermophilus, at 8 billion CFU measured at time of manufacture. Strain count matters because different species settle in different parts of the tract. The tub can be kept refrigerated to hold potency longer, which is worth doing.

DIGESEB® — 200 mg

A five-enzyme blend from Specialty Enzymes & Probiotics: amylases for starches, proteases for proteins, lipase for fats, lactase for dairy sugars and cellulase for plant fiber. That last one matters most here. Cellulase breaks down the plant cell walls that nineteen ground-up plants are made of, and human beings do not produce it on their own.

BROMELAIN — 250 mg

A protein-digesting enzyme complex from pineapple stem, used for digestive support long before it appeared in supplements. Two hundred fifty milligrams on its own line rather than buried inside the enzyme blend, which is unusual for this category.

MARSHMALLOW ROOT — 200 mg

A mucilaginous root that forms a soothing gel when it meets water, traditionally used to calm the gut lining. Nothing to do with the candy. It is here because a formula with nineteen plants and five enzymes moving through you should also be comfortable.

SLIPPERY ELM — 100 mg

Another mucilaginous bark, working alongside marshmallow root to coat and soothe. One hundred milligrams, printed with its own amount. Small ingredients like this are the difference between a greens powder that sits well and one that does not.

COLLAGEN PEPTIDES — 11,000 mg

Hydrolyzed bovine and chicken peptides in a single scoop, broken down small enough for your body to actually absorb. Bovine covers skin, hair and nails. Chicken brings the type your joints are built from.†

HYDROPEACH® — 40 mg

A trademarked white peach extract standardized for ceramides, studied for supporting skin moisture and elasticity. Forty milligrams is the dose its research used, and almost no other collagen on the shelf carries it at all.†

BIOTIN — 2,500 mcg

The B vitamin your body uses to build keratin, which is what hair and nails are actually made of. Collagen supplies the raw material, biotin helps put it to work.†
