You do get benefits from both the leaves and the roots; some different benefits from each, I believe. The whole plant is said to be good for the liver and gall bladder. The green leaves have lots of vitamins and minerals, like many green vegetables. The roots are roasted to make a tasty dandelion coffee/tea, and the roots are also used in the recipes for many herbal medicines.

My resource "Back to Eden" tells me the root is particularly beneficial to increasing activity in the liver, pancreas and spleen. The leaves are made up 28% of a natural nutritive sodium that destroys acids in the blood thus cleansing it. Hope this helps!

I see no reason why kids could not take Greens First. It's a supplement that feeds the cells and boosts the immune system, so I believe it's helpful for everyone. Of course, I'm not a doctor, but this is my opinion.

I went to a class on cactus and succulents and the teacher said to use any plant food but he didn't find it helpful. I bought Liquid Cactus and my brother who also attended the class did not buy the succulent food. When he came to my house over a year later he said that my plants look like they're on steroids and his lood like they "need attention"

I had good success with these last summer. I didn't get to plant every variety of the herbs but the basil and the dill grew well. I wish you good luck in your herb gardening. P.S. I am in Alaska where the daylight hours were long in the summer. Pam in Bethel, AK

Kale is considerably better than other greens such as spinach. Mainly because of the rigid stalk. Parsley, cilantro, romaine, spinach, all did not fare so well. Too much wasted juice in the pulp for my liking.

All of the vitamins and minerals are not derived solely from greens and fruits and herbs. Those that are listed on the nutrition label are "grown" in a soy "soup" of sorts from a base of chemical vitamins and minerals as the starter. The soy absorbs the starter vit/mins and so, becomes part of a food. The theory is that these types of grown multis are better absorbed than isolated vit/mins on their own. But the jury is still out on that one. They ARE easier on the stomach, though weaker in amount.

Hey there,This is part of the Kelp meal as we add nothing to the Kelp. I used Kelp Meal and Blood Meal in my garden last year and it was exceptional produce! Be assured that this does work!Thank you,Andrew Hemmer

I honestly could not answer you as far as quantity but I can tell you that it should be about the same because it is fresh Kale that is dried immediately. The big difference is that most people do not eat Kale everyday but if you put this in your drink/smoothie everyday you will obviously be getting a lot more potency in your diet over all. I hope that helps, we have been using it for the last two years and I know without a doubt it has made a great difference in our health. :)

A young neighbor recommended this to me. It was a change like night to day FOR ME. My issue was not weight loss and I never considered the sodium issue. My M.D. knows I take this and has not had a negative response. Hope, if you choose to use it, it helps you as much as it did me.PS: as to weight issue...sometimes we are really being too hard on ourselves and problem is not how much, but WHAT we eat. We need to eat often but wisely.I know this because I now weigh half what I did a decade ago--had surgery; but eating right is still an issue because cooking for one and having lost partner knocked me out.

No, it's Not the Same , It's matter of Preference what Do you like Better Animal Extract Or Plant Vegetation Extract ? But Both Products are Good . They won't exclude One from Another. Don't take Both at the Same Time.

Hello from another LHC member, thinking along the same lines as you... I read the catnip thread and it said the kind with flowers and stems is usually cheaper than all leaves. The flowers contain more oils. The leaves are more astringent. I can't tell if this has all leaves or flowers and stems as well. If you get it, will you please tell me (LauraLongLocks) if it works? Thanks! I have tons of split ends and I hope this will prevent future ones.

I'm not a lot of help; I assumed that anything safe for consumption-such as brewed tea-is safe to eat as well and have used the leaves in a cupcake recipe. But I'm no expert. I researched it on eatgreentea.com but couldn't find a great answer for this brand. Figured I was only using a small amount for a special occasion so how much harm could it do?

I actually believe that Unilever UK has changed the strength of the tea bags again . The PG Tips that I am using now are weaker in flavor than the ones I purchased a year ago when I first started using PG Tips. I did a test by putting two bags in the cup instead of one. What results. The tea tasted just like it did when I first started using it. To me that proves a point. Unilever UK is cheating on the strength to make a higher profit. Shame on you people.

I have read that also. I was very careful to pick a product that did not contain calcium. After I read your comment, I looked on the bottle again. I was unable to find calcium any where. Mine is the same as shown.I haven't had much luck with it. In the comment section, it helps some people and not others. One comment said to be sure and take it on an enpty stomach, at least one half hour before eating. I'll make sure that's how I take it, from now on. So far and I've taken quite a few, all it does is make me ravenous.

I haven't changed my diet, Plexus decreases your appetite and curbs cravings. I started noticing a difference after a month. I do know that some people have noticed differences after a week or two, everyone is different.

For me, it works the same. Although I have not compared side/side for quite awhile, the last time I did the ingredients were the same.
