What is this ingredient? The Fmlave Green Superfood Blend combines grasses (alfalfa, barley, oat, wheat grass) with leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables such as spinach, kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, collard greens, plus greens like celery and asparagus. Together, these foods provide chlorophyll, fiber, folate, vitamin K, magnesium, potassium, and phytochemicals including carotenoids and glucosinolate-derived isothiocyanates. Higher intakes of green leafy vegetables are consistently associated with lower incidence of cardiovascular disease and all‑cause mortality in large human meta‑analyses, with roughly 20–25% lower risk per ~100 g/day increase in intake [0,4,7,10].
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and kale are rich in glucosinolates, which yield isothiocyanates such as sulforaphane. Human and observational data link higher crucifer intake to lower circulating inflammatory markers and reduced risk of several chronic diseases, likely via Nrf2‑mediated antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory pathways [2,5,6,8,9]. Overall, this blend concentrates many of the nutrient and phytochemical benefits associated with regular green vegetable consumption.
Why include it in this formula? This product pairs a Fruits Blend, Green Superfood Blend, Veggies Blend, probiotics, prebiotic fibers, and black pepper extract to support everyday vitality through plant diversity and gut health. Within that design, the Fmlave Green Superfood Blend is the primary "leafy and cruciferous vegetable" pillar. It complements the colorful fruit polyphenols by supplying folate, vitamin K, minerals, lutein, and glucosinolate-derived compounds that are strongly tied to cardiovascular and overall health in human studies [0,4,7,10].
These greens also contribute fiber and phytochemicals that interact with gut microbes, aligning with the probiotic and prebiotic components to promote a more favorable intestinal environment [2,5,6]. By combining grasses, leafy greens, and crucifers, the blend helps approximate the nutrient density of a daily serving of mixed green vegetables, reinforcing the formula’s goal of convenient, broad‑spectrum plant support for heart, vascular, and long‑term wellness.
