OUR STORY

“When doctors could do no more, I went in search of solutions. This journey took me all over the world, to places I never imagined visiting. I was lucky enough to find solutions and discover the immense value of smart nutrition. Changing my nutrition changed my health, and 8Greens was my way to help people prioritize their nutrition no matter how hectic their lives became. It’s one step on a very important journey. I now give 8Greens to my kids, to my husband (who has tried all 264 prototypes of this product, bless him), and to my friends.

87% of Americans do not get their daily minimum requirement of greens. We can all do better.

With 8Greens, I am simply trying to get this number higher, by educating people about the most important greens and helping add these greens to their diet in an easy, quick, tasty way. 8Greens is not a replacement to a healthy diet, but rather a booster, a green helper. So please, enjoy! Have you had something green today?”
