haha thanks for following along, I guess I've been doing them so long it doesn't seem like a lot anymore for me....taking an omega cap with a meal has just become normal for me, I mix my creatine with my intraworkout aminos at this point, and the phytofuze I use at night after dinner, I love the idea of greens and veggies drinks since a lot of bodybuilders don't get enough but it also calms my sweet tooth for the night...anything to keep me away from the ice cream haha

i been adding spinach into a couple meals a day for both the nitrates and as a filler. i would say that your powder greens have the same nitrate profile as a couple cups of spinach does

I never considered the nitrates in the powder, interesting...

beets and spinach have the highest concentrations of nitrates and i would assume your powder has spinach in it(which is the highest that i have found) beets are an awesome source for nitrates but they are super high on the gi scale, which i also havent figured out yet(high sugar content) because they are bitter to me. idk but we need lots of nitrates without trading off with sugars

yeah i just thought "nitrates" when i started taking the product....i was mainly looking for a way to improve vitamin absorption and vegetable intake

but closer look phytofuze doesn't have spinach....kelp, but never looked into nitrate content in kelp

here is another companies ingredients in their green formula:



GREENS BLEND

Blueberry, Black raspberry, Mulberry, Pineapple power, Bilberry, Papaya, Camu camu, Luo han guo (monk fruit), Broccoli power, Carrot powder, Purple sweet potato, Kelp, FOS, Chlorella, Papain, Bromelain, PQQ, Acai extract.

kale does have some nitrates in it but it is pretty low on the scale. here is another breakdown of how they rank:

Here are the top ten widely available sources, and with all this talk about beet juice you’d think beets might be number 1, but they just barely made the top ten list. Swiss chard has more; next comes oak leaf lettuce; then beet greens; basil; spring greens, like mesclun mix; butter leaf lettuce; cilantro; rhubarb; and arugula. Now beet juice would actually be here, but we always want to choose whole foods to maximize the nutrition.There was actually one stem vegetable, and it came in number 2—rhubarb! But 8 out of the top ten are green leafies, with the winner by a large margin being arugula! 18 times more nitrate than kale! I may have a new favorite vegetable.
