I may be a little crazy (my wife thinks I am about this stuff), but I take one scoop every morning with a small glass of water. I basically down it like a college drinking contest. You don't buy green powder for the taste, you buy it for the nutrients and benefits of the product. So, all you people out there talking about bad taste, just get over it, it's green powder, not chocolate milk. Don't sip it like a fine wine, get it down the hatch! :) Now for the benefits. I have been taking the Paradise brand religiously for many years now (way before I wrote this review). This stuff is amazing for many reasons. My hair is thicker (49-year-old male with no signs of balding - thick hair like no other). Nails and skin look healthier and overall health from common colds and flu (I don't do flu shots - should we really be injecting our body with antiviral serum?) are non-existent. I live in Atlanta, GA where the spring pollen is like a haze all during the month of March and April. Prior to taking this powder, I would come down with an annual respiratory infection from the intense pollen. I am not a doctor, I can't explain this and possibly there is no relation to the Paradise Herb powder at all, but I am telling you right now straight up, I don't get the respiratory infections anymore and/or general colds. Additionally, I feel better, my skin looks younger and people think I am younger then I am. Do yourself a favor, take a glass every morning, don't skip a day and see for yourself. After 6 months if nothing changes then stop using it. For me this product is great, I have seen the results. The benefits of fruits and vegetables are well-publicized, so there has to be something to it. Update - 4/23/15 Well, I am still at it. One glass a day and still feel the benefits are genuine. Absolutely no colds, flu, sickness or respiratory infections (extreme pollen) of any kind. When I get my hair cut one of the first things the stylist always says is you sure do have thick hair. My response every time is that I think it is related to the Green Powder. I don't think it will assist in regrowing lost hair follicles, but there is definitely a correlation to how thick it is. BTW: I have absolutely no affiliation with this product what so ever other than a general consumer. Now if Paradise Herbs wanted to entertain thoughts of a spokesperson, then I would definitely consider it! Update - 10/13/16 Well, now 52, here we are again and I am still taking one scoop daily with a glass of water. It is the first thing I do after I get up every morning. I have been doing this for years now and the benefits are real. I actually look and feel pretty darn good for a guy who gets limited to no exercise (that needs to change though). In general, this powder seems to be a great source of vitamins and nutrients, don't necessarily like the taste much, but I do like the benefits. I am not going to stop taking it, and I hope this powder has helped improve someone else's life as well. Update - 2/7/18 Well, now 53. I am back to update another year later. I still religiously take a scope every morning. I usually get up at 5:00 am to get ready for work and taking a scope of Orac Energy Greens is the first thing I do. From an instantaneous perspective, I feel the product is great and helps takes the tiredness off in the morning. The long-term effects are very genuine and I am still a firm believer in this product assisting with fighting off illness as well. We are now in the midst of a very bad flu season, my daughter and wife have it bad (they don't take the green powder) and I have somehow managed to not get ill yet another year even being exposed in the same house! I really have no scientific evidence that my health is related to this green powder, but again I feel good, my skin and nails look good and people generally think that I am younger then I look. I am really not sure what else to say here, but purchase and try the product for yourself. I think you will be surprised at what a gradual difference you will start to feel. Update - 4/16/20 Well, now 55. I am still taking a glass every morning. Still, a believer in the results and benefits of this product and my thoughts still echo what I have written above. Also, its pollen season again in Atlanta and no respiratory infection, in fact, I have not been sick with a cold, flu of any kind in years. Not sure it will fend off the Coronavirus, but I am healthy as of this writing! ;) Update 4/4:22 Hi everyone! I am still taking this religiously, I am now 57 and believe that green powder is extremely beneficial to a persons health. I dont know if everyone sees the commercials for balance of nature, they advertise on Fox news non-stop, this product from an ingredients perspective as a better product for sure. Anyway, I am still a firm believer I take a glass every single morning and see the results, I hope you do too! Stay healthy my friends Thank you for reading and good luck!
