How do I take greens+
Ideally greens+ should be taken on an empty stomach. Add 3 teaspoons (1 tablespoon) of greens+ to 1 cup of your favourite juice (we like apple juice the best) or pure water, shake and enjoy! If you have never used greens+ before, please see the information for First Time Users.
Like greens+ , water is also a vital nutrient. For best results drink 6-8 glasses of water daily to aid in the beneficial effects of greens+.
An Important note for First Time Users:
As with any positive dietary change, certain individuals may experience temporary symptoms, due to a variety of positive nutritional changes. These symptoms can include headaches, constipation, diarhhea, nausea and skin blemishes. Although unpleasant, these symptoms are a good sign that your body is ridding itself of toxins and pollutants and are only temporary.
To avoid this, begin by taking greens+ gradually:
First week - take 1 teaspoon daily
Second week - take 2 teaspoon daily
Third week - take and continue on 3 teaspoons daily. If you prefer capsules please note: 12 capsules is equivalent to 3 teaspoons. Also increase your daily consumption of water.
