Revive MD Daily Greens: A Nutrient Powerhouse

Throughout 2020, Revive MD has dramatically expanded its supplement line with a variety of new products, including Citrus Scrub, Revive MD Lipid, Revive MD Prostate, and Revive MD Women’s Health. In addition, the company recruited multiple elite athletes to their team, including Icelandic former professional Strongman, Halfthor Bjornsson, and UFC heavyweight champion, Stipe Miocic.

Former professional strongman, Halfthor, is fueled by Revive MD!

We’ve also noticed that several sports nutrition industry brands creating new product lines— or even sister brands—that are solely focused on optimizing health and wellness over sports performance, which is exactly what Revive MD is known for. However, with the reputation and team that Revive MD has built over the years, nothing is going to interfere with their success.

One of the major things that separate Revive MD from their competition is the way they reformulate existing products. So far this year, they’ve already tweaked Omega 3 and Immune Multi formulas and serving sizes. We’re excited to announce that the next product getting an upgrade is Daily Greens!

Revive MD Daily Greens: New and Improved in 2020

In case you’re not familiar with the previous Daily Greens formula, it featured a proprietary blend of fruits and vegetables to supply customers with a variety of phytonutrients and micronutrients. Mainly, it was designed to support a healthy diet.

Revive MD Daily Greens has just received a massive upgrade!

Furthermore, the old Daily Greens formula was a capsule-based supplement. Since capsules can only hold a limited amount of powder, the product did not have that much flexibility. So Revive MD recommended taking at least six capsules every day to reap the benefits, which isn’t very appealing to the majority of consumers.

Over the past few months, we’ve seen a massive increase in new greens powder supplements in the sports nutrition industry. With advances in flavoring, capsuled greens products are becoming a thing of the past. In response to market trends, Revive MD revamped their Daily Greens formula. They switched to a fully transparent label, meaning that they list the exact doses of every single ingredient, and turned the product into a powder-based supplement.

By using a powder Revive MD can use larger dosages and more ingredients, which is great for consumers because you get more out of each serving! The new and improved Daily Greens will come in two flavors, fresh berry, and chocolate. Keep reading to find out more about Daily Greens and sign up for Revive MD news and deal alerts below!

Daily Greens Ingredient Analysis

The new Daily Greens formula is lightyears ahead of the original version. We’re glad to see more ingredients, a fully transparent label, and a more well-rounded health and wellness product. If you struggle with consuming enough fruits and vegetables on a daily basis, then adding a serving of Daily Greens to your regimen can help.

Here’s what one scoop (17g) of Daily Greens provides:

• Digestion & Fiber

  Inulin (FOS) (Fructooligosaccharides) – 3g

  Inulins are a prebiotic fiber, which primarily promotes gut health by activating and increasing good bacteria in the gastrointestinal system.^[1]

  

  Fully transparent labels are hard to come-by for greens powders!

  The definition of a prebiotic has slightly evolved over the years, but according to Gastroenterology & Hepatology, it’s “a non-digestible compound that, through its metabolization by microorganisms in the gut, modulates composition and/or activity of the gut microbiota, thus conferring a beneficial physiologic effect on the host.”^[1,2]

  When people think of improving gut health, their mind immediately jumps to probiotics. However, if your body is not getting enough prebiotics, then adding more probiotics likely won’t help. Prebiotics come from food, supplements, or a combination of the two. Inulin is a naturally occurring prebiotic found in a variety of foods, such as oats, asparagus, garlic, wheat, onions, artichokes, and leeks.^[1]

  The benefits of consuming a sufficient amount of prebiotics include enhanced immune function, increased quantity of good bacteria (Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria), and improved production of beneficial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids. It’s also known for enhancing calcium absorption, reducing bacteria and protein fermentation, and lowering allergy risk.^[1]

  Ground Flaxseed Powder – 1g

  Flaxseeds contain high levels of omega-3 fatty acids (as alpha-linolenic acid), lignans, and dietary fiber.^[3] Thanks to these beneficial compounds, flaxseeds express anti-inflammatory, lipid modulation, and antioxidative properties.^[3] The most common forms of flaxseed are whole, ground, oil, and partially defatted flaxseed meal.^[3]

  Adding Revive MD’s ground flaxseed to Daily Greens mixes well and adds flavor to the powder. Interestingly, flaxseed consumption has been heavily studied by cardiovascular disease researchers.^[3] Several studies have shown that dietary flaxseed reduces blood pressure levels and provides cardiovascular protection.^[3]

  

  Revive MD helps elite athletes stay healthy as they push past their limits.

  Other studies have demonstrated that flaxseed:

  • Decreases blood glucose in individuals with type 2 diabetes
  • Protects against cancers, including breast, lung, prostate, colon, cervix, endometrium, and hepatocellular.
  • Enhances cognitive function
  • Improves brain development and memory
  • Exhibits neuroprotective effects
  • Reduces symptoms of menopause
  • Improves skin health.^[3]

  The main reason Revive MD added ground flaxseed to Daily Greens is because of how beneficial it is for the gastrointestinal system. Multiple studies have shown that flaxseed supplementation alters the gut microbiome by increasing activity by and amounts of good bacteria, such as Bifidobacterium and Prevotella.^[3]

  In addition, flaxseed may reduce the number of bad bacteria in the gastrointestinal system, including Proteobacteria and Porphyromonadaceae, which may be beneficial for preventing the onset of some diseases.^[3]

  Chia Seed – 1g

  Chia, also known as Salvia hispanica L., is an ancient grain that’s fairly popular in the health and wellness dietary supplement industry, and for a good reason!

  

  IFBB Pro, Hunter Labrada, uses Revive MD for all of his health supplement needs.

  Chia seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, in the form of alpha-linolenic acid and antioxidants, such as quercetin, cholinergic acid, caffeic acid, myricetin, and kaempferol.^[4] These bioactive compounds express anti-aging, anti-carcinogenic, hepatic, and cardiac protective properties.^[4]

  Furthermore, chia seeds contain a good amount of dietary fiber, which has shown to be extremely beneficial for the digestive system, along with vitamins, minerals, protein, phenolic compounds, and unsaturated fatty acids.^[4] A scientific review from 2016 reported that chia seed consumption has been shown to positively affect a multitude of health conditions, including hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia.^[4]

  Several studies have established that chia seeds’ therapeutic properties include anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antianxiety, anti-blood clotting, and laxative effects, as well as improved vision and immune function.^[4]

• Greens

  Daily Green contains 10 types of organic greens, including wheatgrass, spirulina, alfalfa, barley grass, spinach, fermented kale, chlorella, broccoli sprout and powder, and kelp.

  Chlorophyll: More than a color pigment

  Green vegetables are some of the healthiest foods on the planet. And the reason greens powders are becoming all the rage lately is that they contain an extremely beneficial compound known as chlorophyll. In order for plants to grow and survive, they rely on photosynthesis, a process involving light, water, and carbon dioxide. Chlorophyll is essential for plants to absorb light, which is then converted into chemical energy.

  

  Revive MD Daily Greens makes sure you’re getting enough micronutrients in each day.

  Chlorophyll is the green pigment present in all green plants. Although humans don’t necessarily need chlorophyll, since we don’t participate in photosynthesis, it’s beneficial to include in our daily diet. Chlorophyll is one of the few compounds capable of activating the human body’s internal antioxidant defense system through stimulation of catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione, which are collectively known as phase two enzymes.^[5]

  As we mentioned before, antioxidants are crucial for protecting healthy cells from oxidative stress-induced by free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS).^[5] Both free radicals and ROS are a byproduct of a number of physical and chemical processes. Therefore it’s important to have enough antioxidants around to ensure that they don’t wreak havoc on your healthy cells.

  Since free radicals and ROS are highly reactive. As soon as they’re in contact with a cell, they could potentially damage the cell’s membrane, DNA, and mitochondria, eventually leading to cell death. You can also obtain antioxidants through diet and supplementation. It’s an added benefit to supercharge your internal antioxidant defense system to give your body the best fighting chance.

  Can greens boost performance?

  In relation to performance, phase two enzymes are capable of reducing the build-up of lactic acid, a metabolite that’s produced by the energy systems (glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation) during exercise.^[5] Lactic acid build-up causes the environment in working muscles to become more acidic (drop in pH levels), resulting in fatigue, pain, and a reduction in adenosine triphosphate production.

  

  Get in enough micronutrients with the help of Revive MD Daily Greens!

  By absorbing lactic acid, there’s a delay in lactic acid accumulation, which may result in improved exercise performance and work capacity. So you could make the argument that greens have an alkalizing effect on the body since they’re capable of keeping pH levels more alkaline than acidic.^[5] Other studies suggest that greens can improve immune function, enhance vitality, and improve energy levels.^[6]

  Here’s a complete list of all the greens and their amounts:

  • Organic Wheat Grass – 800mg

  • Organic Spirulina Grass – 800mg

  • Organic Alfalfa – 400mg

  • Organic Barley Grass – 400mg

  • Spinach Powder – 100mg

  • Organic Broccoli Powder – 100mg

  • Organic Broccoli Sprout – 100mg

  • Fermented Kale Powder – 50mg

  • Organic Chlorella – 50mg

  • Kelp Powder – 50mg

• Anti-inflammatory & Longevity

  Fermented Turmeric Powder – 200mg

  Turmeric, also known as Curcuma longa, is a spice that belongs to the ginger family, adds flavor to food, and provides potent health benefits. Historically, turmeric was utilized in Asian countries for medicinal purposes, due to its anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antimutagenic, and anti-inflammatory properties.^[7] Nowadays, turmeric is primarily used to manage inflammatory and oxidative conditions, anxiety, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, and arthritis.^[7]

  

  Take care of inflammation with the help of Revive MD Tumeric+

  Some research also suggests that turmeric may assist in recovery and performance by reducing exercise-induced inflammation and muscle soreness.^[7] But it’s also known to benefit those without adverse health conditions due to its overall antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.^[7]

  Turmeric’s therapeutic benefits are mainly attributed to its curcumin content.^[7] Curcumin is a polyphenol that has demonstrated an ability to target numerous signaling molecules and activity at the cellular level throughout the body.^[7] Curumin, in particular, has been shown to positively impact pain, metabolic syndrome, inflammatory conditions, and degenerative eye conditions.^[7]

  As you can see from the label, Revive MD is specifically using fermented turmeric powder, which is the first time we’ve come across this form. A study conducted in 2013 found that fermented turmeric powder displayed hepatoprotective effects in patients with elevated transaminase levels. Therefore, it may promote liver health.^[8] Of course, you can expect to get all of the same benefits that traditional turmeric provides, too.

  Organic Astragalus – 200mg

  Astragalus, also known as astragalus membranaceus, is a popular medicinal herb used in traditional Chinese medicine for its immunomodulatory, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anticancer, hypolipidemic, and antidiabetic properties.^[9]

  

  Check out Revive’s website for shakers and apparel!

  So far, over 200 different compounds have been identified in astragalus, including amino acids, saponins, polysaccharides, and flavonoids.^[9] The literature shows that there are at least 160 triterpenoid saponins, including both cyclobutane-type and oleanane-type; 60 flavonoids, including isoflavones, flavonols, flavones, isoflavones, pterocarpans, and flavonoids; and 14 different polysaccharides.^[9]

  Several studies have shown that astragalus may enhance innate and adaptive immune systems response, which helps you fight off foreign pathogens.^[9] A systematic review published in 2017 reported that astragalus has some promising applications for anti-aging, with each bioactive constituent showcasing its own unique attributes.^[9]

  However, the study authors noted that more research is warranted to further understand the mechanism of action behind astragalus.^[9] One study from 2016 suggested that the bioactive components of astragalus are capable of altering cancer-signaling pathways and interacting with certain transcription molecules to offer protection against gastrointestinal inflammation.^[10]

• Other Vegetables

  Tomato Powder – 150mg

  It’s rare to see tomato powder added to a greens product, but it turns out that it packs quite the nutritional punch.

  

  Daily Greens and Women’s Health is a great supplement stack for females!

  Tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that has even greater bioavailability after processing or cooking.^[11] Thus, by using a tomato powder, it’s possible that your body will be able to better absorb and utilize the lycopene.^[11] Lycopene is a carotenoid that’s responsible for tomatoes’ bright red color.^[12] And the body is able to store lycopene, most commonly in the adrenal glands, testes, liver, and adipose tissue.^[12]

  Various studies have shown an inverse relationship between tomato consumption and risk of developing cardiovascular disease, various types of cancer, osteoporosis, cognitive dysfunction, and skin damage induced by ultraviolet light.^[11] A majority of these studies attribute these protective properties to the antioxidant effects of lycopene.^[11]

  However, others hypothesize that tomatoes also express both anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic functions, which may also aid in protection against numerous health conditions.^[11] Other studies have found that daily tomato consumption is capable of reducing LDL cholesterol and triglycerides levels while increasing HDL cholesterol levels, thus favoring a more healthy blood lipid profile.^[12]

  Carrot Powder – 100mg

  Carrots are a root vegetable with high concentrations of vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, polyacetylenes, and flavonoids, including quercetin, luteolin, and kaempferol.^[13] Carrots are also a good source of fiber and a trace mineral called molybdenum, which is heavily involved in iron absorption, as well as fat and carbohydrate metabolism.^[13]

  

  Fuel your health and performance with Revive MD.

  Interestingly, carrots were first utilized in Europe for medicinal purposes, but today they’re just used as food.^[13] Carrots come in white, purple, yellow, orange, and red, but orange carrots are the most popular because they’re a rich source of provitamin A, alpha-carotene, and beta-carotene.^[13] Two primary antioxidants available in carrots are carotenoids and anthocyanins, which help scavenge free radicals.^[13]

  Studies have shown that carrots are not only good for eye health, but they also express anticarcinogenic, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, cholesterol-lowering, anti-cardiovascular disease, anti-hypertensive, renoprotective, hepatoprotective, and wound healing properties.^[13] If you’re not consuming carrots on a regular basis, you’re missing out on a wide variety of health benefits!

• Reds

  There are several greens powders on the market that include both greens and reds. The reds are typically a mixture of berries, such as strawberries, raspberries, cherries, and blackberries. Similar to the greens, one thing these fruits all have in common is their color. Some may be darker than others, but they’re all on a red-to-purple spectrum, which is attributed to their anthocyanin content.

  

  Need more minerals in your diet, check out Revive MD Multimin!

  Anthocyanin is a color pigment that offers both health and performance benefits. It’s well known that fruits contain a wide array of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. However, what makes berries so special is their rich concentration of anthocyanin. Research shows that anthocyanins express potent anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, cardioprotective, antidiabetic, and anti-obesity properties.^[14-17]

  In the context of sports performance, anthocyanin is capable of enhancing nitric oxide synthase activity — an enzyme that’s responsible for producing nitric oxide (NO).^[14-17] Nitric oxide is great for cardiovascular health and improving performance because it induces the cells in blood vessels to relax, which allows blood to move throughout the body more efficiently. Along with improved blood flow, your working muscles will receive a greater amount of oxygen and nutrients.

  Enhanced NO production also benefits the cardiovascular system by reducing the peripheral resistance to blood flow, thus lowering your blood pressure.^[14-17] In addition, berries provide the body with plenty of antioxidants to defend against free radical damage. Some studies suggest that consuming berries may aid recovery by decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress.^[18,19]

  It’s also well established that regular berry consumption can assist insulin regulation, boost cognitive function, enhance endothelial cell function, and improve blood lipid profiles.^[18,19] While greens activate your endogenous antioxidant defense system, reds give your body, even more, help with a host of exogenous antioxidants!

  Here’s a list of all the reds and their exact amounts:

  • Organic Strawberry Powder – 50mg

  • Raspberry Fruit Powder – 50mg

  • Cherry Powder – 50mg

  • Blackberry Powder – 50mg

• Other Fruits

  Organic Apple Powder – 50mg

  Apples may not fit into the “berries” or “reds” category, but they still have a lot to offer! They’re packed with phytochemicals, such as flavonoids and phenols, that serve as strong antioxidants, including catechin, chlorogenic acid, quercetin, and phloridzin.^[20]

  

  Get more nutrients from the meals you eat with Revive MD Digest Aid.

  Several epidemiological studies have linked apple consumption to a lower risk of developing cancer, asthma, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.^[20] Apples are capable of preventing cancer cell differentiation, reducing cholesterol and lipid oxidation, and they exhibit antioxidant activity.^[20] Some studies have even found that apples are one of the main sources of flavonoids in the diet and that higher flavonoid consumption is associated with lower mortality rates.^[20]

  When compared to other fruits, such as grapes, strawberries, peaches, lemons, bananas, pears, oranges, pineapple, and grapefruit, apples actually exhibit higher antioxidant activity.^[20] The only fruit that has higher antioxidant activity is the cranberry. So far, the main antioxidants that have been identified in apples are catechin, quercetin-3-galactoside, quercetin-3-glucoside, epicatechin, quercetin-3-rhamnoside, coumaric acid, procyanidin, gallic acid, cyanidin-3-galactoside, phloridzin, and cholinergic acid.^[20]

  Kiwi Powder – 50mg

  Kiwis, also known as Actinidia deliciosa, contain high amounts of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C, K, folate, and potassium; in addition to phytochemicals and, of course, antioxidants.^[21] Due to its incredible nutritional value, kiwis have been shown to help enhance the immune system and reduce symptoms associated with asthma.^[21,22]

  

  Long before Chris joined Revive MD, he used their products regularly.

  However, one of the fruit’s main attributes is its ability to enhance protein digestion and absorption.^[23] Kiwis contain a rich concentration of a protease enzyme called actinidin, which is attributed to its digestion benefits.^[23]

  For high-level athletes who consume abnormally high amounts of protein each day, this could be a game-changer more protein their body can efficiently break down, assimilate, and utilize, the better their recovery will be.

  Kiwis also contain a good amount of fiber and pectic polysaccharides, which act as a prebiotic for the gut.^[24] Kiwis have demonstrated the ability to enhance the growth of good bacteria, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.^[24]

  Pineapple Powder – 50mg

  Pineapples are a type of berry that primarily grows in parts of China, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and Kenya.^[25] And historically, they were utilized for medicinal purposes throughout native cultures in those countries.^[25]

  

  Stress can quickly halt your progress. Luckily Revive MD Calm is here to help!

  Pineapples contain a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, including flavonoids and phenolic compounds.^[25] However, the fruit is most known for its bromelain content.

  Bromelain is a protease enzyme that’s composed of numerous thiol endopeptidases, including protease inhibitors, cellulase, phosphatase, peroxidase, glucosidase, and escharase.^[25]

  Preliminary studies have shown that bromelain expresses anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, anti edematous, anticancer, and fibrinolytic properties.^[25] Bromelain is readily absorbed by the body and loses very little of its proteolytic effects.^[25]

  A systematic review from 2012 found that bromelain has a multitude of therapeutic benefits. It’s been used for the treatment of bronchitis, sinusitis, cardiovascular disorders, diarrhea, osteoarthritis, and angina pectoris; they increase drug absorption and prevent platelet aggregation.^[25]

• Revive Probiotic Blend – 62.5mg (25 Billion CFUs) (from non-dairy mediums) (vegan)

  Revive MD contains 62.5 milligrams of a comprehensive vegan-friendly probiotic blend, which equates to 25 billion CFUs.This attribute definitely sets Daily Greens apart from other greens powders on the market since the majority of them do not have added prebiotics or probiotics.

  

  Revive MD K2+D3 supplies you with essential fat soluble vitamins.

  Probiotics have been defined as “a live microbial feed supplement which beneficially affects the host animal by improving its intestinal microbial balance.”^[26] They can be obtained from various sources, including supplements and fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, and kimchi.^[26]

  It’s like that most people aren’t consuming enough of these foods to get enough probiotics to make a significant difference in their gut microbiome. Therefore, it’s recommended to supplement with probiotics if you have digestive issues.

  Probiotics have been used to treat conditions like lactose malabsorption, diarrhea allergic reactions, gastroenteritis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBS), dental caries, and nasal pathogens.^[27]

Daily Greens Available Flavors

In the past, it was extremely challenging to make a bunch of fruits, vegetables, and herbs taste like a refreshing drink. However, with the advancements in flavoring, it’s easier than ever to make a greens powder palatable. We’re confident that Daily Greens, one of Revive MD’s first powder-based products, nailed the flavors.

For the initial launch of the new formula, Revive MD started with two flavors: fresh berry and chocolate. They can be consumed on their own and added to smoothies or protein shakes. Keep an eye out for more flavors soon!

Here’s an updated list of Daily Greens flavors:
