Greens Balance
Arbonne Essentials Greens Balance is an "Other Combinations" supplement, featuring multiple proprietary blends including 3800mg of Greens, 625mg of Yellows, 434mg of Reds, 375mg of Omega-3 Seed, and 216mg of Blues. This product received an N+ Score of 43, earning an F grade, indicating a below-average quality assessment. With 12 total ingredients, the use of proprietary blends limits transparency regarding individual ingredient dosages. Iron is present at 2mg (11% DV), which is considered underdosed compared to typical clinical recommendations for significant iron supplementation. No ingredients within these blends are noted to be at clinically studied doses. This product may appeal to those seeking a broad spectrum of plant-based nutrients, but the proprietary blends and low N+ Score raise questions about its overall effectiveness and value.
