Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPDATE: I have stopped taking this because I had a long term problem with gas/bloating and reflux. After much trial and error, I started to realize that I had either some kind of SIBO or IBS. I stopped this drink and started a FODMAP diet which helped within 2 days. I suspect that this drink just has too many probiotic species (what I first loved about it) and a natural-minded Dr pointed out to me that the diff species don’t always play well together. In the meantime my husband decided to start taking this drink and he loved it for the first month or 2. At the time I was only suspicious of this drink, and that wasn’t enough to keep him away from it. By the 3rd month of taking it though, he started having more gas/bloating and general weirdness in his gut. He quit drinking it and recovered fairly fast. I believe because I took it for over a year while experiencing tummy troubles, it has taken me much longer to get my gut flora back to normal. So I change my rating to: I suspect more harm than good came from this drink, but I might be willing to take one without any probiotics in it. I have been buying and using this product for a couple of years now. I cannot claim that it has done anything miraculous for me, but I will tell you my honest unbiased opinion. I often find that knowing something about the reviewer can be helpful, so for a bit of context I am female, 42, normal BMI and I eat healthy. I eat a lot of vegetables, fruit, try to mostly eat clean unprocessed meats, and a small amount of unrefined grains. I am also not a picky eater. Having said all that, here is my take on Green Vibrance. I do not drink it daily without fail, but rather on most days, sometimes more than others. The taste is not terrible- if you can tolerate eating many vegetables, if you have ever cut sugar out of your diet without using sweeteners, then you will probably be ok with the taste of this drink with only water. A small amount of juice mixed into the water improves the taste quite a bit, and then if you are someone who is much more smell and taste sensitive, mixing it into a smoothie will completely mask the flavor. The things that I personally love about this product are 1) its great content of probiotics, a better variety than most probiotics-only. I am more concerned with number of varieties than I am numbers of each bacteria because I feel that since you take the product every day (or most days), you don't need millions and billions of each species every day. 2) its herbal content, especially Astragalus, which I like to take at the first sign of a cold. 3) it helps me get out of sugar-binges. I try to eat as sugar free as I can, but once in a while it will sneak back into my diet and I get hooked like a coke-addict. It may just be placebo-affect, but if it is, it placebo-works. I drink it in the afternoon in just water when my cravings are the worst and in a couple of days I have forgotten all about wanting sugary treats. So, I know this isn't a very sensational review, but I do like the product, I do find it works well and I would recommend it to others. I don't think it should be a replacement for other healthy foods, but it can definitely give you a boost (mood, energy, etc) that you might need to help you get into overall healthier eating.
