Greens supplements have exploded!

Greens supplements have exploded in popularity over the past several years. One need only look at influencer videos or listen to podcasts to see and hear the amount of over-hyped (and underdosed) products that are shilled to the masses.

Expose yourself (at your own risk) to these shills and you’ll be lead to believe that greens supplements will turbocharge your metabolism, accelerate weight loss, replace you need for proper nutrition, and improve your natural hormone profile.

Unfortunately, this is complete and utter horses*t.

Can green supplements offer benefits?

Absolutely.

Will you get those from the mass-market options hocked by influencers, endorsed athletes, paid doctors, and podcast hosts?

We’ll leave that up for you to decide…

What we can say is that there are benefits to certain greens supplements, adaptogens, medicinal mushrooms, herbs, and other dietary supplements. The key is to make sure they’re dosed properly.

That’s why we’ve created APOLLON GREENS!

Apollon Greens Highlights

Each serving of Apollon Greens delivers 17 research-backed ingredients at premium doses you won’t find in other “best selling” athletic greens powders.

Here are some of the true heavy hitters in this all-star line up of nutritional support ingredients beginning with:

Spirulina

Spirulina is a blue-green microalgae that became famous after it was successfully used by NASA as a dietary supplement for astronauts on space missions.[1] It’s packed with phytoactive compounds, including antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals as well as tocopherols and γ-linolenic acid (GLA) -- an antiinflammatory omega-6 fatty acid.

One of the featured antioxidants in spirulina is phycocyanin, which gives spirulina its brilliant blue-green color. Researchers have found that spirulina offers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support. Other studies suggest it may support energy levels, immune function, and cardiometabolic health.[2,3]

Apollon Greens supplies 4,000mg per serving.

PeakO2

Long before medicinal mushrooms were all the rage in the supplement industry, Compound Solutions released a blend of six medicinal mushrooms called PeakO2 containing:

• Cordyceps militaris
• Reishi
• King Trumpet
• Shiitake
• Lion’s Mane
• Turkey Tail

PeakO2 is supported by research in athlete’s to[4,5,6]:

• Increase VO2 max
• Boost endurance
• Improve time to fatigue
• Improve oxygen utilization
• Enhance peak power output
• Decrease lactate
• Increase work capacity
• Lower heart beats per minute (essentially, improving the heart’s ability to do more work with less effort)
• Increase ventilatory threshold
• Improve time to exhaustion (TTE)

Apollon Greens supplies 1,000mg per serving.

VitaCherry

Tart cherry juice is renowned in fitness circles for its ability to help alleviate post workout soreness, and support strength recovery in the hours following a grueling workout.[7]

VitaCherry® is a patented tart cherry juice powder that’s rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which combat soreness and inflammation.[8,9]

Furthermore, tart cherry juice has been shown to decrease muscle pain and muscle damage incurred by rigorous athletic training.[10,11]

In other words, VitaCherry is the post workout relief and daily support you didn’t know you needed, but we’re happy to add a full serving of it in Apollon Greens!

Digestive Enzymes & Probiotics

Gut health is paramount to your body’s ability to efficiently digest, absorb, and utilize the nutrients you consume. This includes not only good gut bacteria (aka probiotics), but also digestive enzymes.

In addition to supplying a phytonutrient-rich array of fruits and vegetable powders, mushrooms, and electrolytes, Apollon Greens also supplies premium-quality digestive enzymes and probiotics, in the form of DigeSeb and L. Acidophilus.

Together, this unique combination of digestive enzymes and research-backed probiotics, supports optimal digestion, promotes nutrient absorption, and enhances nutrition.

Suggested Use

Consume one serving of Apollon Greens per day.

Apollon Greens can be consumed on its own with a meal or mixed into your favorite smoothie, protein shake, protein oats, or mixed with yogurt for a high-protein, nutrient-rich dip or dressing!
