When should I take a greens powder?

There is no clinically better time to take a greens powder. Most people take it in the morning with water because it is easy to remember, but with a meal or in the afternoon works just as well.

What a greens powder is for

It tops up vitamins, minerals and plant compounds on days when your vegetable intake falls short — travel weeks, heavy training blocks, long shifts.

It does not replace vegetables. Whole produce brings fibre and volume that a scoop of powder cannot match.

Fitting it into a routine

Pair it with something you already do every day, like your first coffee or your creatine bottle.

If it upsets your stomach on an empty stomach, take it with food instead — the benefit is unchanged.
