What is YourBiology SuperGreens?
YourBiology SuperGreens is a superfood greens powder supplement which you add to water. It contains a huge amount of healthy ingredients to improve overall health and is specifically focused on supporting digestion, immunity, energy, mental clarity and skin health.
It is available around the globe via the YourBiology store.
It is made in the UK and is suitable for vegans.
Ingredients of YourBiology SuperGreens
The ingredients list is long - in a good way!
Specifically it contains: soluble fibre (sugar beet), wheat grass powder (gluten free), spinach powder, wild yam powder, spirulina powder, apple fibre pectin powder, matcha green tea powder, acerola powder, beetroot extract, sweetener (steviol glycosides from stevia), emulsifier (sunflower lecithin), grapeseed extract, ferrous fumarate, zinc citrate, nicotinamide, manganese citrate, retinol acetate, calcium pantothenate, copper citrate, riboflavin, thiamine, folic acid, potassium iodide, sodium selenite, biotin and methylcobalamin.
So there’s a lot of goodness in this supplement which we will discuss below in the benefits section.
The only ingredient I don’t love is the natural sweetener stevia. This is a personal position though and it is widely used and considered safe to consume. More on this below.
Are sweeteners bad for you?
Regular readers will know that I don’t love sweeteners - whether they are natural or artificial. This is because artificial sweeteners have been shown to negatively affect gut microbe composition - and so it could be that natural sweeteners also affect your gut.
There are other potential side effects of these natural sweeteners (especially around signalling to your body that sugar is coming when it isn’t), but more research is needed.
Or perhaps I’m just being overly cautious ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Benefits of YourBiology SuperGreens
This supplement includes a vast array of superfoods and other natural ingredients which provide diverse nutrition. In particular, these ingredients focus on improving gut health, energy, cellular function, immunity, nutrient replenishment and skin health, as well as providing antioxidants and reducing inflammation.
Let’s look at what benefits each ingredient offers.
Gut health
Soluble fibre (sugar beet) – promotes bowel regularity, supports gut microbiota and may improve cholesterol levels.
Apple fibre pectin powder – supports bowel regularity and cholesterol management. Pectin is also a prebiotic fibre which means it feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut and helps them multiply.
Wheat grass powder (gluten free) – contains fibre and chlorophyll to aid digestion and detoxification.
Spinach powder – adds fibre plus iron and antioxidants for digestive and blood health.
Sunflower lecithin – may support fat digestion and gut lining integrity.
Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
Spirulina powder – antioxidant-rich algae supporting immune defence and metabolism.
Matcha green tea powder – catechins (EGCG) may protect cells, support metabolism and improve focus.
Acerola powder – high in vitamin C for antioxidant protection and collagen formation.
Beetroot extract – nitrates improve circulation and endurance; antioxidants support heart health.
Grapeseed extract – proanthocyanidins protect blood vessels and reduce oxidative stress.
Wild yam powder – may help modulate inflammation and support hormone balance.
Manganese citrate – nutrient that helps antioxidant enzymes support bone health.
Sodium selenite – antioxidant mineral that supports immune and thyroid function.
Energy metabolism and cellular function
Nicotinamide (vitamin B3) – aids energy production and skin health.
Calcium pantothenate (vitamin B5) – essential for coenzyme A synthesis and hormone production.
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) – key for energy release and oxidative protection.
Thiamine (vitamin B1) – supports energy metabolism and nervous system function.
Folic acid (vitamin B9) – supports DNA synthesis, cell growth and red blood cell formation.
Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) – aids energy production, red blood cell health and nerve function.
Biotin (vitamin B7) – supports metabolism of fats, carbs and proteins.
Retinol acetate (vitamin A) – essential for cell growth, vision and immunity.
Immune support and nutrient replenishment
Ferrous fumarate – replenishes iron for oxygen transport and energy.
Zinc citrate – supports immune function, wound healing and skin health.
Copper citrate – aids iron metabolism, collagen production and antioxidant activity.
Potassium iodide – supplies iodine for thyroid hormone production.
Dosing
The dosing guidelines are to take one scoop with 200-300ml of water. And to not exceed 3 scoops per day.
You can also add a scoop to smoothies or mix with food.
Appearance
As the picture below shows, once it is mixed it has a very dark green, almost black colour.
Mixing
It mixes well and easily, and there’s only a fine grittiness from the powder.
Flavour
The aroma is mostly of green tea with seaweed characteristics.
The taste is minty and of green tea predominantly. It is also fairly sweet from the stevia. It is surprisingly easy to drink considering I was expecting it to taste like green sludge ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Overall, it’s easy to take, the taste is good, but I wouldn’t want it any more sweet.
Money-back guarantee
Another big selling point of YourBiology SuperGreens is that they offer a ‘no questions asked’ 60-day money back guarantee if you’re not satisfied. All you have to do is email them.
Cost of YourBiology SuperGreens
YourBiology SuperGreens is a premium, broad spectrum supplement which offers a huge amount of nutrition and health benefits, so I wouldn’t expect it to be cheap.
Prices vary from country to country so it’s best to check their website for current offers.
Would I recommend it?
I would absolutely SuperGreens because it offers so many gut and other health benefits in one supplement. This product makes it very easy to support many key areas of health like gut health, energy, immunity and skin health.
Personally, I like taking this supplement because even though I try hard to eat well, there are days when even if I’m not eating anything bad, I know I’m not eating enough good things and getting the nutrition I should. To me it’s comforting to have a product like this as a fallback so I know that I’m getting a good dose of nutrition each day, even when I don’t eat as well as I should.
And given the money-back guarantee they offer, it definitely seems like something worth trying to see if it helps you.

Factors we consider in our ratings
The factors we consider when doing a review (and the weightings of each of these) may vary depending on the product we are testing, but here are the key general factors we consider when we settle on a rating for a product.
Health benefits
We find out how the product will be good for your health and outline the benefits for you in simple language. This often involves doing research so you don’t have to. We often link to scientific studies or articles summarising scientific findings so you can dig deeper if you want to.
Things detrimental to health
We want to highlight where a product might include something bad for your health - even if it might be good for you in another way. This could include such things as pointing out certain additives it contains or high sugar levels.
How it’s made
This will vary depending on the product, but we want to see a quality process for making it and quality ingredients. For example, we want to see a kombucha traditionally fermented with lots of different microbial strains and we want to see a yoghurt made with fresh milk and not milk powders.
Price
While we expect quality products to be more expensive, they still have to be priced within reason. On the other side of things, a product which is priced very competitively will get a ratings boost based on the value it provides.
Flavour
For some products flavour won’t be a factor (eg probiotic tablets), but for others, like yoghurt or kimchi, flavour is a key aspect because these products are made to be enjoyed as well as being healthy! We will try to be as subjective as possible and describe the flavour in detail so you can get an idea of whether you would like it or not.
