One question I get asked often is, “What’s the difference between Opti-Greens 50 and Opti-Reds 50?”
It's usually followed up by “Which one should I take?", or "Should I be taking them both?”
Just like a lot of things with regard to supplements, it really depends on the person, their goals, and their lifestyle.
However, if this is you, I'm here to quickly go over some of the differences between the two, and help you decide which one may be the most beneficial for you.
What is Opti-Greens 50?
Opti-Greens 50 is a low-temperature processed green superfood powder ... but there's so much more to it than just that.
The number 50 comes from the fact that Opti-Greens 50 is made from 50 total ingredients, including:
8 organic grasses and greens, superfoods, a glycemic balance blend, phytonutrients, digestive enzymes, and probiotics.
Yes, that all sounds cool when you say it fast, but what do they mean for you and your health?
What Does Opti-Greens 50 Do?
With all 50 ingredients, you get a long list of benefits that can help improve your overall health and well-being.
Gut health, one of the biggest benefits, has become a huge topic in the health and fitness industry ... and for good reason.
The probiotic blend in Opti-Greens 50 provides 5 Billion CFU’s from a variety of 9 different strains.
This aids in improving overall gut and digestive health, which can affect the function of your immune system and digestive tract. A lot of people use probiotics to help with a wide variety of issues including bloating. Probiotics can also help your body better absorb and utilize the nutrients you consume every day.
The organic grasses, greens, and phytonutrients give you around the same amount of vitamins and minerals as a 2oz shot of juiced greens. Plus, this gives you the benefits of roughly 10 servings of fruits and vegetables!
Opti-Greens 50 also delivers antioxidants. Most of us have heard a lot about antioxidants, but what do they help with?
Antioxidants can help combat free radicals and oxidative stress from our environment. These are things such as contaminants, and pollution in the air we breathe and the water we drink. When left unaccounted for, these toxins can wreak havoc on your body.
Also if you've dealt with consistent digestion issues or bloating ... you know how uncomfortable this can make you feel. This is one of the reasons why we also included a digestive enzyme blend, to aid in breaking down food more efficiently. That, paired with the probiotic, can help your body utilize the food you take in on a daily basis more effectively.
Opti-Greens 50 also contains a glycemic balance blend which can help stabilize blood sugar levels throughout the day. This can help improve fat loss and even improve your energy levels!
With all of these amazing benefits, it's easy to see how adding Opti-Greens 50 to your daily routine can benefit you!
What is Opti-Reds 50?
With Opti-Reds 50, the “50” also means there are 50 ingredients. These ingredients are hand-picked fruits, berries, vegetables, and herbs. Because of this, Opti-Reds 50 can be described as a high-quality red superfood powder.
These organic superfoods and other ingredients make up the powerful antioxidant blend, cardio health blend, and digestive enzyme blend.
Again, while those sound awesome, you want to know how this can actually help you, right?
What Does Opti-Reds 50 Do?
Simply put, this is the most delicious and complete antioxidant powder on the market today.
Antioxidants, as stated earlier, can aid in our body's ability to regulate free radical production. They can also have a positive effect on reducing inflammation.
Regulating free radical production can be a major factor in improving your body's ability to function at its best.
The antioxidant blend in Opti-Reds 50 is much more extensive than Opti-Greens 50, since it's one of the main focuses of the product.
The cardio health blend in Opti-Reds 50 can help optimize nitric oxide levels and improve overall blood flow. This can help regulate blood pressure and even improve exercise performance!
Due to the improved cellular activity, some people will even notice reduced signs of aging, and an increase in natural energy levels!
The Difference Between Opti-Greens 50 and Opti-Reds 50
Now that we've briefly covered the benefits of Opti-Greens 50 and Opti-Reds 50 ... what are the differences between the two?
Opti-Greens 50 focuses more on gut health, how well you absorb nutrients, your immune system, helping to decrease bloating, better digestion of food, and regulation of blood sugar.
On the other hand, Opti-Reds 50 is based around antioxidants, and improving blood flow, decreasing inflammation, some digestive benefits, and overall cellular health.
The ingredients in Opti-Greens 50 are mainly organic greens and grasses, whereas Opti-Reds 50 has beets, fruits, and herbs.
Which One is Right For You?
As with anything else when it comes to making a decision on what's best for you, it depends.
For most people, if you were going to pick only one, Opti-Greens 50 would be the most universally beneficial choice.
Prioritizing gut health and getting in more phytonutrients can usually benefit just about anyone.
Add in the fact that Opti-Greens 50 gives you the benefits of approximately 10 servings of vegetables in a single serving, Opti-Greens 50 becomes a great choice! I mean, let's just be real ... most of us (including me) do not get nearly enough greens on a daily basis.
That being said, who can benefit from Opti-Reds 50?
If you're looking for help with improving blood flow, helping to regulate blood pressure and increase overall performance ... then Opti-Reds 50 may be just what you're looking for.
I personally take both of them, because they complement each other very well, as I work to become the healthiest version of myself.
Either way, both options are awesome, and can be a great addition to a good nutrition plan.
