u/misteryouaresodumb I don’t think the possibility of a greens powder from ND/Natrium has ever been mentioned, but curious if this has been discussed at all? Have you used any of these products in the past? Would be interested to know how some of the leading brands test in terms of accuracy of ingredients given how many ingredients these often list. Thanks!

These powders look pretty good to me. One can't know the proportion of individual ingredients, but one can know the nutritional value of some of the dehydrated powders.
Their GrandFusion 21 vitamin and mineral blend (Product SKU: NF-2371) supposedly comprises broccoli, spinach, kale, pumpkin, sweet potato sunflower seed, kelp, chlorella, maitake, and shiitake powders and is said to provide 100% of the daily value of almost every common micronutrient in about 500 mg of powder.

Those are one of the companies that make these premade blends that everyone uses. They do thee blends, then sell them to other brands and contract manufacturers to use making their products. There are a few out there that concentrate only on making blends of things for other companies to use in their products. I would have to see some analytical data to know for sure, but the numbers they are giving on there are too perfect for me to not be suspicious. Everything is perfectly at 50% of RDA?!? Hmmmm. You can't get that consistency without spiking. So I bet that is happening. They put the ingredients in, then spike with the various vitamins and minerals to reach the desired numbers. It's an inexpensive way to make sure you are meeting label claims for the FDA ingredients, but not exactly what people think is happening.
