What brands of superfood powder are there?

Currently, among the highly recognized superfood powders on the market, the mainstream imported brands include Navitas Organics, Pura Vida, and Viva Naturals, while the more stable domestic brands include Ruogu Caotang, Wugu Mill, and Qianfangyuan.

When I first entered the industry two years ago, I went through a lot of traps. I followed the trend and bought some off-brand kale powder that cost 9.9 for 3 bags with free shipping. When I opened it, it was full of dregs that settled at the bottom, with a bitter smell of old vegetables. I drank it twice and threw it away. Later, when I switched to Navitas, I discovered that it was really different. They are fully certified organic. The acai berry powder is a bright purple-red color when brewed. It has a natural fruity flavor when eaten with sugar-free yogurt. There is no strange smell at all. However, the price is a bit painful. A small jar of more than 100 grams costs 200 yuan. I usually only dig half a spoon and add it to my breakfast when I stay up late at night to catch up on projects and my face is very slumped.

Speaking of this, some people may ask, is imported product necessarily better than domestically produced product? It’s not necessarily true. My friends who are good at fitness prefer to buy chia seed powder from Wugu Mill. The raw materials are from high-quality production areas in the Northeast. There are no additives. The price is only one-third of the imported version. It is enough for daily mixing with yogurt and making oatmeal. The only difference is that imported brands will label the active substances in more detail. For example, Pura Vida’s spirulina powder will clearly state the phycocyanin content per 10 grams. Many domestic brands only label the total crude protein content, which is not so detailed.

The turmeric powder that my aunt likes to drink before her period is Qianfangyuan. This brand was planted by a friend who is a nutritionist. It focuses on the formula of medicinal and food sources. The ingredient list only contains pure turmeric powder, without any other ingredients. A spoonful of maltodextrin and essence mixed with hot coconut powder in the morning can warm the stomach and reduce edema. It is much more friendly to the stomach than drinking black coffee on an empty stomach. I have been drinking it for more than half a year, and the pain in my lower abdomen that I always had during pregnancy has been relieved a lot.

Of course, many people now say that super food powder is an IQ tax. I thought so before, until last year when my physical examination showed that my dietary fiber intake was insufficient. The doctor asked me to eat one pound of dark green vegetables every day. But to be honest, if you have three regular meals and can eat enough vegetables, fruits and whole grains every time, then there is really no need to spend this money. Superfood powder is simply a "patch" to the diet. If it is missing, it is useful, but if it is not lacking, it will be a waste.

When I choose now, I basically look at two points. One is whether it has formal organic or food testing certification, and the other is scrolling to the front of the ingredient list. If there are ingredients such as white sugar, flavors, and maltodextrin, just pass it. After all, the safety of the food you eat is more important than anything else, right?
