For those of you that take 8 greens every day do you think we are healthier ? I feel the same but that doesnt mean anything . I hate to think Im spending 64 dollars every 60 days for nothing

Apparently they haven't "HIT" you like they did me. You don't want details - but after 2 or 3 UNEXPECTED attacks - I dumped $75 worth down the drain. Drain didn't EXPLODED like I did - (are you catching the hint?) - back to normal with real food salads. First time thought I had food poisoning - blamed a take out food place.

Not even sure what "8 greens" is, or it's meaning. Never saw those words referenced like that on this forum. I guess @fthunt must know as I see, but did not read, her post.

8 Greens is a drink tablet. It was a TSV a few months ago.

I drink a similar product for the last year and honestly I feel no different.

I was on QVCs autoship for “8 greens” and had the my family drinking it until I started reading up on spirulina, one of its ingredients. After googling Dr. Andrew Weil’s findings, in the trash it all went!! The expense turned into a secondary factor. Please read up on spirulina for yourself, then check labels carefully on these types of products. I was shocked. (I trust Dr. Weil so he was my go to source.)

I eat so many greens on a daily basis, so I do not add green processed foods. Eat your greens, no need to spend $64.00. Easy to do, make a meal a salad full of a variety of greens, steam greens daily, broccoli on top of a baked potato, greens in a stir fry, etc. I will add Sunfood spirulina granules to my smoothies as well as fresh greens.

Threw away mine after several bouts of gas. Didn't want to risk being out and having that problem.

I'm drinking it daily and have no problems with it at all. I will continue to use it. I don't necessarily feel better, but it has to be helping. I don't like the taste of vegetables, so this is the only way I get them. I just read up on Spurilina and from what I read, it has many health benefits.

Consult Beaute has a very similar product selling on Evine, you may want to do an ingredients and price comparison.

@Ifeelwicked

I know this discussion is a few months old but I was doing some research on 8greens and found some things I didn't like. I was wondering if you read up on blue green algae? I saw you threw the product away because of spirulina. I read that blue green algae is a toxin and should be avoided at all cost. I could find nothing good about it at all. Wondered why it would be included. Wish I would've done research on it before I went on auto delivery.

I know you're already done with this product and so am I. Would be interested in your answer if you happen to see this. Thanks.

I’m on it! And will get back to you. I know there was a day my sister swore by blue green algae and had me taking it or tried to! It was the “kale” of the 80s if I’m remembering correctly.

@Renata22: You can always cancel Auto Delivery if you're not satisfied with the product.

I also trust Dr Weil 100%, his word is law for me.

Re: 8 greens

Shelbelle — Mon, 22 Oct 2018 23:03:39 GMT

Dr Dubrows Greens product also has spirulina and blue Green algae in it.

Renata22 — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 19:43:21 GMT

Thanks for everyone's responses. Looking forward to more. I did cancel my auto del. We contacted the company about this issue and they answered us within 15 min. Very impressed with them for that. They gave a very detailed answer, but basically they only source blue green algae that does not grow the toxin. It can be an amazing ing when it's clean, from what I understand. It is tested before being used. Like I said, it was very detailed and made us feel better about using the ones I already have. Probably won't get more.

@pommom That's probably from the Sorbitol in the tablets.
