Research-Supported Benefits:

Supports Immune Health. Several ingredients in Longevity Greens are thought to support the immune system, including wheatgrass, broccoli, parsley, green tea, eleuthero root, and probiotics. Wheatgrass contains several vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and large amounts of chlorophyll—an antioxidant-rich compound that gives green plants their color. Research shows that polysaccharides found in wheatgrass exhibit immune-supporting properties, including activating NK (natural killer) cells and T cells. Many of the plants in the organic greens, grass, and fruit blend also support immunity—especially parsley, which contains apigenin. Apigenin is an antioxidant that regulates immune function by reducing inflammation and preventing cellular damage (1, 2).

Promotes Cellular Health. Longevity Greens is rich in antioxidants that have been shown to support cellular health. Antioxidants fight oxidative stress, which is a key contributor to accelerated cellular aging. Compounds like green tea leaf have been shown to extend lifespan in animals by reducing markers associated with cellular damage and inflammation. Other prominent antioxidants in Longevity Greens include wheatgrass, spirulina, chlorella, beet root, broccoli, kale, parsley, camu camu fruit, acai, acerola, pomegranate, blueberry, and matcha (3).  

Supports Detoxification. Plants like moringa leaf, ginger, broccoli, kale, berries, and cabbage can help with liver detoxification—a process that can decline in efficiency with increasing age. One of the key factors that regulates detoxification and antioxidant pathways is the transcription factor Nrf2, which can be activated by polyphenolic compounds, such as those found in ginger, berries, green tea, grapefruit, lemons, parsley, and camu camu (4, 5).  

Supports Digestion. Longevity Greens contains a blend of prebiotics and probiotics to support healthy digestion. Prebiotics—like oat fiber, pea fiber, chicory root inulin, and blue agave inulin—are fiber-rich plants that healthy bacteria consume to survive and thrive in the gut. Combining prebiotics with probiotics—500 million CFUs from seven bacterial strains per serving—is a smart way to support digestive health. And a healthy microbiome is not just important for regularity—it is also linked to longevity and better health outcomes with age (6). 

Supports a Healthy Stress Response. Longevity Greens contains adaptogens that can help support a healthier stress response, including ashwagandha, eleuthero root, American ginseng, and maca. Ashwagandha is most studied for its adaptogenic effects on reducing stress. In a study of adults with a history of chronic stress, people who took 600 mg of ashwagandha daily for two months had significantly reduced levels of cortisol, stress, and anxious feelings (7).
