8 Greens Review

It’s no secret vegetables are essential for overall health, but did you know an estimated 87% of Americans fall short of their daily green vegetable intake? 8 Greens set out to close that gap with a nutrient-packed effervescent tablet designed to deliver a daily dose of leafy greens.

We were curious how to actually use the supplement, which plant extracts it contained, and where to buy this celebrity-endorsed product. We broke down the ingredients, checked customer reviews, and reviewed the clinical research to give you the real bottom line.

What Is 8 Greens?

8 Greens is an effervescent tablet built from plant extracts often missing in the average American diet. Since heat destroys nutrients, the company uses a patented dehydration process meant to preserve each ingredient’s value. Every tablet reportedly delivers as much Vitamin B5 as 15 cups of broccoli, Vitamin C as six cups of navel oranges, zinc as three cups of raw peas, Vitamin B12 as seven glasses of milk, and Vitamin B6 as six cups of raw spinach.

Flavors include Lemon-Lime, Blood Orange, and Peach Tea, with a DAILY Gummies line (Apple and Peach) for those who prefer chewables over dissolving tablets, available for both kids and adults.

Does the Research Support It?

• Herbal Medicine: Bimolecular and Clinical Aspects — “The conditions for which clinical trials of Aloe vera have been conducted include skin conditions, management of burn and wound healing, constipation, DM, and gastrointestinal [conditions].”
• Oxidative Medicine Cell Longevity — “Spirulina has hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, and antihypertensive properties, useful in the prevention of the metabolic syndrome.”
• Critical Reviews in Food Science & Nutrition — “Without the doubt, a scientific evidences support the fact that cruciferous vegetables included in human diet can positively affect health and well-being, but remains unclear why kale is declared superior in comparison with other cruciferous.”

Who Makes 8 Greens?

Founder and CEO Lady Dawn Russel overhauled her own diet following a significant health diagnosis earlier in life, incorporating whole foods and abundant leafy greens. After learning that 87% of Americans weren’t hitting the recommended vegetable intake, she launched 8 Greens in 2015, building on what she’d learned from her own experience with high-dose blue-green algae and extensive personal research.

Does 8 Greens Work?

8 Greens combines dehydrated plant extracts with a small amount of artificial sweetener. Here’s what the research says about the key ingredients:

Spinach: Rich in insoluble fiber, which research in Acta Scientiarum Polonorum links to improved digestion and reduced constipation.

Wheatgrass: A review in Mini Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry found it contains flavonoids, chlorophyll, magnesium, iron, calcium, 17 amino acids, and vitamins A, C, and E.

Kale: Research in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry considers kale among the most nutrient-dense foods known, rich in quercetin and kaempferol, two flavonoids with potential anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties.

Barley Grass: A genuine superfood, rich in fiber, manganese, selenium, vitamin B1, and niacin.

Chlorella: A freshwater algae that, per a clinical trial in CMAJ, may support immune function in people under 55, though more research is needed to confirm the effect.

Aloe Vera: Best known for skin benefits, but research in Organic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters suggests genuine anti-inflammatory properties too.

Spirulina: Contains phycocyanin, an antioxidant with documented anti-inflammatory effects, according to research in Anesthesia and Analgesia.

8 Greens and Weight Loss

8 Greens isn’t marketed as a weight-loss product, though it may indirectly support one by improving digestive regularity when paired with regular exercise and a healthy diet. Research in Nutrients links higher daily vegetable intake to a reduced risk of weight gain — so if 8 Greens genuinely helps you eat more vegetables (or fill a gap when you don’t), it could support healthy weight maintenance indirectly.

8 Greens Side Effects

The most commonly reported issue is mild gastrointestinal discomfort, typically resolving within a few days.

How to Use 8 Greens

Adults and children over four can dissolve one tablet in a glass of water and drink once fully dissolved.

Bottom Line on 8 Greens

8 Greens delivers a quality, pleasant-tasting product, but it’s not a cure-all — no effervescent tablet replaces a genuinely balanced diet. That said, if you’re simply looking for an easy way to round out your daily vegetable intake, it’s a reasonable option worth considering.
