I don’t buy into the idea that you’re generally going to replace eating vitamin-rich foods with a single supplement, even if it might be argued that the supplement is a pretty good multivitamin. My take on greens powders from a recent monthly Q&A:

A new study reveals bottled water contains up to 100 more microplastic particles than previously estimated. Utilizing advanced techniques, researchers found that popular water brands contain an average of 240,000 microplastic particles per liter, a count that's 10 - 100 times higher than past estimates. Notably, 90% of these plastics are tiny nanoplastics, so small they can penetrate human cells and tissues and even cross the blood-brain barrier, potentially impacting human health. This raises an important question: Might simply drinking tap water be a healthier choice? latimes.com/environment/stor…

Despite magnesium's critical role in over 300 enzyme processes and its importance in muscle functions, energy production, and electrolyte balance, half the country doesn't even meet the RDA. For athletes, the stakes are even higher. With the RDA set at around 320 mg/day for females and 420 mg/day for males, it's concerning to note that physically active people may actually require 10-20% more than the RDA due to increased losses in sweat and urine. Yet, many aren't even hitting the baseline.
