This 'Macro Greens' product, with its limited four-ingredient profile (Vitamin C, E, A, Iron), falls significantly short of its broad health claims, including immunity, anti-aging, and energy, making it an insufficient choice for comprehensive wellness support.
Quantity: 10Quantity: 30
Macro Greens, as described by its listed ingredients (Vitamin C, E, A, Iron), is a remarkably limited supplement claiming a vast array of health benefits including immunity, anti-aging, heart health, energy, and more. This narrow ingredient profile, consisting of just four basic nutrients, is fundamentally inadequate to comprehensively address the broad and ambitious goals it sets for itself. Consumers expecting a 'greens' product based on the name would likely be misled, as typical greens powders contain a diverse spectrum of plant-based superfoods, probiotics, and enzymes designed to support holistic health beyond these foundational vitamins and mineral. The minimal iron content further highlights its deficiency in addressing even basic nutritional needs.
- Contains beneficial antioxidant vitamins (C, E, A).
- Provides a moderate dose of Vitamin C.
- Extremely limited ingredient profile for a product named 'Macro Greens'.
- Vastly insufficient ingredients to support the wide range of claimed health goals.
- The iron quantity (1mg) is negligible and unlikely to provide significant benefit for iron deficiency.
- High price point for such a basic and limited formulation.

Categories
Vitamin C 70.0
The product contains 475mg of Vitamin C, which is a substantial and beneficial dose for daily intake, contributing to antioxidant protection and immune function.
Vitamin E 60.0
The product provides 100IU of Vitamin E as D-Alpha-Tocopherol Succinate, a natural form of vitamin E that offers antioxidant benefits. However, a comprehensive Vitamin E supplement might include mixed tocopherols for broader benefits.
Vitamin A 40.0
The product includes 450IU of Vitamin A. While Vitamin A is crucial, this quantity is quite low compared to many standalone Vitamin A supplements or even standard multivitamins, and the form is not specified (e.g., beta-carotene, palmitate), which impacts bioavailability.
Goals
Immunity 40.0
While Vitamin C is well-known for immune support, and Vitamin E and A also play a role, the product relies solely on these three vitamins for immunity. A comprehensive immunity product would typically include zinc, selenium, elderberry, echinacea, or other specific immune-modulating compounds, which are absent here.
Vision Support 35.0
Vitamin A is essential for vision. While present, the quantity (450IU) is relatively low, and other critical vision-supporting nutrients like lutein, zeaxanthin, or omega-3s are entirely missing, limiting its effectiveness for comprehensive vision support.
Skin Health 30.0
Vitamins C and E are antioxidants beneficial for skin health, and Vitamin A supports skin cell turnover. However, optimal skin health often requires a wider range of nutrients like biotin, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and other antioxidants not present in this minimal formulation.
