New Look, New Flavor, Now Gluten-Free! Greens+ V2 releases on 1/26 at 8 pm EST!

Greens… you either love them or you hate them, there’s really no in-between. Regardless of whether you’re a veggie connoisseur or not, you can’t deny that greens pack a host of health benefits. Furthermore, it’s quite challenging to consume enough greens from diet alone. Especially those that aren’t easy to come by at the local grocery store, such as alfalfa, barely, and chlorella.

Fortunately, with Axe & Sledge Greens+, you can easily consume a hefty dose of greens in a tasty and convenient way. Not to mention, Axe & Sledge Greens+ has a lot more to offer than other greens supplements on the market because we didn’t just stop at greens...

Every serving is packed with 5 billion CFUs of probiotics (14 unique strains), a patented digestive enzyme blend (as DigeSEB™), 500 milligrams of coconut water powder (as CocOganic®, 100 milligrams of KSM-66® branded ashwagandha, and 8 grams of greens!

Here are some of the benefits that can you expect from taking Greens+:

  • Improved digestion
  • Better gut health
  • Increased energy levels
  • Immune system support
  • Lower stress & cortisol levels
  • Enhanced hydration

What else makes Greens+ stand out amongst the competition?

With four patented ingredients and excellent mixability, Greens+ is the superfood supplement that all of you hard-working M’fers have been waiting for!

Ingredient Breakdown

Greens Blend

Every serving of Axe & Sledge Greens+ is loaded with 8 grams of greens, coming from:

  • Organic Kale Powder
  • Spirulina Powder
  • Organic Spinach Powder
  • Organic Alfalfa Powder
  • Organic Barley Grass Powder
  • Organic Chlorella
  • Organic Parsley Leaf Powder
  • Organic Broccoli Powder

Every ingredient in this blend provides you with their own unique benefits. But one thing that they all have in common is their color, which is attributed to chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a color pigment that allows the plant to obtain energy from sunlight. Therefore, chlorophyll is absolutely essential for their survival. Although chlorophyll isn’t essential for human’s survival, it can provide you with numerous health benefits.

Within the human body, chlorophyll is capable of activating phase two enzymes (e.g. glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase), which play an important role in your body’s internal antioxidant defense system.[1] Antioxidants are compounds that inhibit oxidation and free radical production. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells, leading to various health issues.[1]

In regards to performance, phase two enzymes can also reduce lactic acid levels, improving recovery and performance.[1] Lastly, greens can help naturally boost energy levels and increase vitality.[1] There are plenty of benefits to consuming a variety of greens, which is why we turned them into a convenient and tasty supplement for all the HWMF’ers out there.

SL14™ Probiotics Blend

Probiotics consist of microorganisms that can be consumed to increase the amount of good bacteria in your gut. Probiotics are naturally found in some foods, such as yogurt, kimchi, and pickles. However, it's quite challenging to get enough probiotics from food alone, so supplementing with a high quality probiotic blend can be very beneficial.

Since probiotics are so crucial for optimal gut health and immune system function, we included 5 billion CFUs of a comprehensive probiotics blend in Axe & Sledge Greens+. SL14™ is a clinically proven probiotics blend that contains 14 unique strains, including:

  • Lactobacillus Acidophilus
  • Lactobacillus Plantarum
  • Lactobacillus Fermentum
  • Lactobacillus Salivarius
  • Lactobacillus Casei
  • Lactobacillus Paracasei
  • Lactobacillus Rhamnosus
  • Lactobacillus Gasseri
  • Bifidobacterium Bifidum
  • Bifidobacterium Breve
  • Bifidobacterium Longum
  • BifidobacteriumInfantis
  • Bifidobacterium Lactis
  • Streptococcus Thermophilus

Research shows that daily consumption of probiotics may support your immune system, help lower your cholesterol levels, reduce gastrointestinal distress, and decrease inflammation.[2]

DigeSEB™ Digestive Enzyme Blend

If you’re familiar with Farm Fed, Home Made, and/or GDA+, then you’ve seen this ingredient before and know how beneficial it is! As a whole, digestive enzymes help your body break down and absorb nutrients. They can also reduce gas, bloating, and gastrointestinal discomfort.[3]

DigeSEB™ is a proven and effective digestive enzyme blend from Speciality Enzymes and Probiotics, which includes:

  • Amylase
  • Lactase
  • Proteases I & II
  • Lipase
  • Cellulase

DigeSEB™ promotes optimal digestion and nutrient absorption, so you can get the most out of the foods you're consuming, including the other ingredients found in Axe & Sledge Greens+. DigeSEB™ is just one of the many things that makes our greens supplement different from the rest.

CocOganic® Coconut Water Concentrate

To promote hydration, we added 500 milligrams of CocOganic®, an organic, freeze-dried coconut water powder that’s highly soluble. Coconut water is naturally rich in electrolytes, including magnesium and potassium. Since electrolytes play a crucial role in hydration, muscle contractions, and nerve impulses, it’s important to consume enough of them for optimal performance & health.[4]

Coconut water also contains a high amount of B vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes, antioxidants, and phytonutrients that provide your body with an abundance of health benefits. Coconut water is the richest dietary source of cytokinins, a plant hormone that possesses anti-aging properties. Lastly, coconut water has an alkalizing effect on the body, which can help restore natural pH levels. As you can see, coconut water’s benefits go far beyond just hydration.[4]

KSM-66® Organic Ashwagandha Extract

KSM-66® is a branded, full-spectrum, organic ashwagandha extract made by Ixoreal Biomed.  Ashwagandha, also known as withania somnifera, is a plant that’s known for its adaptogenic properties. In other words, consuming ashwagandha helps users adapt to and overcome stress.[5]

KSM-66® is known as the ashwagandha extract with the highest concentration of bioactive compounds, such as withanolides, and the most extensive scientific research supporting its efficacy and safety.[5]

KSM-66® has been clinically proven to:

  • Lower stress, anxiety, and cortisol levels
  • Promote memory and cognitive function
  • Improve endurance, strength, muscle growth, and recovery
  • Enhance testosterone levels in men[5]

Suggested use

For optimal results, mix one scoop of Greens+ with 8-10 ounces of water or your preferred beverage and consume daily. The exact time you chose to take Greens+ is to be determined by your own schedule. As long as you’re using it on a regular basis, you can expect to reap all of the benefits it has to offer!

Stacking Options

It’s important to note that a greens powder does not replace a multivitamin! Although greens powder contains some vitamins and minerals, they do not contain all of the vitamins and minerals you need for optimal health.

If anything, greens powders should be used in conjunction with a multivitamin and if your budget only allows for one, choose the multivitamin over the greens.

With that being said, here are a few supplements we offer that stack well with Greens+:

Flavors

Greens+ is available in two unique, yet delicious flavors:

  • Apple Banana
  • Cucumber Melon
  • Hint of Pineapple
