Supplement Spotlight #4: Dynamic Greens

One of my favorite supplements is Dynamic Greens Made by Nutra-Dyne.  There are four flavors (Berry, Chocolate, Mint and Kiwi Strawberry).  Here are some of it's benefits:
  1. It is an easy way to get a concentrated dose of anti-oxidants to fight off the free radical damage our bodies are exposed to on a daily basis.  Each serving is 20+ servings of antioxidants.
  2. It is an easy way to alkalize our body.  Many foods people eat are very acidic (Starchy carbohydrates and dairy products for example).  Even good quality lean protein is acidic.  Taking Dynamic Greens is a simple way to alkalize the body.
  3. Based off #2 if people are acidic it can lower their work capacity when they train.  Taking this supplement can improve work capacity.
  4. Taking this product during or immediately after a training session can help lower cortisol from the exercise faster resulting in faster recovery.
  5. Although I still encourage people to make sure they get at least 5-6 servings of vegetables and fruit/day (9-11 servings with a 3:1 ratio of vegetables to fruit is optimal), this product can be a good start for those who eat less than those recommendations.
  6. The Kiwi Strawberry flavor is a great product for kids to help get them the benefits of vegetables and fruits.  Just tell them it is fruit juice (It tastes like Strawberry Kool Aid).
  7. When mixed with protein powder (Whey or Vegetarian in a Vanilla flavor) the combination can be a great post-workout drink or a meal replacement.  Just put it in a shaker bottle, add water, shake it up and enjoy!
I will conclude this post by saying it is one of, if not the most underrated supplement on the market.  Whether your goals are Longevity and Vitality, Fat Loss or Performance this is a must have!
