Even though greens powders are made of nutrient-dense foods, that doesn't mean they're a good idea for everyone. Since greens powders contain vegetables in a condensed form, they're also high in specific vitamins, like vitamin K, that can interfere with blood-clotting medications. If you're on blood thinners or other medications or you have chronic health problems, always check in with your doctor before taking a new supplement, greens powders included.

Even if you don't fall into these categories, it's important to make sure you're getting your greens powders from a trusted source. When it comes to regulation, the supplement industry is a bit of a gray area. Make sure the supplement manufacturer can verify that the greens have been tested for contamination and passed with acceptable levels. It's best to buy from companies whose greens powders have been certified through a third-party testing laboratory, like NSF International. That way, you know you're getting exactly what's listed on the label and nothing else.

And make sure you're sticking to the recommended serving size. More isn't necessarily better since some vitamins can build up in the system and lead to toxicity. A scoop or two per day, along with a healthy, vegetable-rich diet, is all you need.
