Hell, just look at the ingredient list for Athletic Greens.
Funny you should say that. At the beginning of the year, I bought AG1 because it had all of the things and stumbled on this sub over the course of going through all of the different green drinks.
Add a dash of access to a med school's library, and now I think my list is about as large as yours. AG1 is still on it, as a multivitamin.

All those greens brands are buying pre-made greens mixes from contract manufacturers, and just selling them with hyped up marketing. It's a huge market right now. However, nobody is actually lab testing them. Those matrices are very very complex, so building assay methods for them is a nightmare. Literally nobody is doing it. They are just buying the pre-made greens blends from the contract manufacturers, then going off the "by input" from the master batch record. They have even gotten Eurofins onboard, and then they make "COAs" confirming them. However, all Eurofins is doing is looking at the master batch record, then saying: "Yep, this document is saying you said you put that much in there. Good enough for me!" Then consumers think it was actually tested by an ISO lab to confirm it contained what they claim, but it was just a master batch record review. Just insanity. Doing proper formulation and lab testing for our Natrium stacks with 8-10 ingredients is hard enough. It's next to impossible for blends of 20-30 ingredients where you don't even have access to the raw individual components.
We were thinking of bringing out our own greens blend called Sedentary Greens. LOL. It's for the people sitting at their desks working all day. Our tentative formula is 20 ingredients, and it doesn't use any pre-made blends. It's also much more advanced than any of the other greens on the market, but I am not sure if the demand is there. Most people buy Athletic Greens because they spend ridiculous amounts on advertising. Their most recent capital raise from a venture capital company put their valuation at over $1B, and Alibaba is an investor as well. There is huge money behind AG1. If we bring out an actually good greens, I am not sure we could compete with the marketing budgets they have, but we will likely do it at some point. The Sedentary Greens name is kind of a joke, but we all know sometimes I do stupid things because it makes me laugh.
