How To Choose A Good Greens Powder: Best Ingredients For Fitness Recovery

Whether you’re training, competing or simply living a busy life, greens supplements can help you get the maximum from every activity without the comedown, jitters or other adverse effects you get from sugar, caffeine or pre workout drinks.

Of course a balanced diet and eating ‘food for fuel’ is the first priority, but sometimes you need a bit more – and even the healthiest diet can’t keep us fuelled for peak performance on its own.

So choosing a super-charged greens powder to help give a noticeable boost in energy, mood and fitness performance is key. Make sure you choose something that is effective in:

> SYNERGY (grouped ingredients, perfectly suited to be timed around your schedule)

> CONVENIENCE (from experience, feedback and a real world approach)

> INTEGRITY (full & effective honest dosages)

> NO COMPROMISE (No artificial sweeteners affecting gut health and more. Formulation and sourcing focused on delivering the best results not the high profit margins).

We recommend HENCE Greens Stack Nutritional Support Supplement - a 100% natural juicy peach flavour powder for adding to your morning water, juice and smoothies with a range of premium phytonutrients, Nootropic, Adaptogenic and anti-inflammatory ingredients.

How is Greens Stack different to any other fitness supplement?

Supplementing is often misunderstood and mis-managed. For example ‘saving’ your daily macros or workout with a protein powder or pre-workout isn’t going to get you to a better place long term. Getting your body to optimum performance and health should be part of the same goal, without sacrificing long-term health benefits for short-term artificial performance boosts and synthetic products. When you’re healthier, you perform better.

Why are Phytonutrients and Adaptogens important in your Greens?

Phytonutrients (natural plant products with wide ranging micronutrient qualities) and Adaptogens (proven positive mental and physical beneficial herbs) support you to perform at your best, naturally. They improve your wellbeing in the short and long term and even the healthiest diet will miss some of these valuable powerhouse ingredients. Even those you do ingest, you may not be optimally absorbed for a number of reasons.

Greens Stack offers full proven dosages of these best-in-class ingredients.

The combination of ingredients are antioxidants, mood-boosters, hormone-balancers, energy boosters and anti-inflammatories stacked into one super greens product.

The most immediate and noticeable impact of Greens Stack is the energy boost, so we suggest taking it early in the day to harness this power. For some, the energy boost can last for a couple of days so you may not need to use Greens Stack every day.

Start with 1 scoop (10g serve) about 1 hour after waking up. You can add it to water (we suggest 300ml) or put it in your shake, smoothie or juice.

Try increasing your dose before a sporting event. Greens Stack will offer extra immune support, and reduce free radicals and inflammation - perfect for combatting the increased strain of preparing for a competition.
