PhytoGreens

Key compounds: spirulina, chlorella, wheatgrass, barley grass, moringa

How to take: Optimal intake is in the morning with a meal containing healthy fats to maximize the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and provide sustained nutrient delivery throughout the day.

Absorption: Many phytonutrients, including fat-soluble vitamins (e.g., Vitamin K1, beta-carotene) and carotenoids, are better absorbed when consumed with dietary fats, as these compounds require micelles for optimal bioavailability. Chlorophyll and water-soluble vitamins are generally well-absorbed with water, but the overall nutrient matrix benefits from co-ingestion with food.

Stacks well with: Pairs well with a high-quality Omega-3 fatty acid supplement to enhance the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, K, E) and carotenoids, while also providing synergistic anti-inflammatory benefits. Can be amplified by concurrent use of a multi-strain probiotic for comprehensive gut microbiome support, leveraging the prebiotic fiber content of PHYTOGREENS.

Important: Individuals taking anticoagulant medications (e.g., warfarin) should consult a healthcare professional due to the high Vitamin K content, which can interfere with medication efficacy.

Evidence tier: moderate
