AdvoGreens is a super greens powder that contains enzymes, prebiotics, probiotics, and herbal extracts, produced by the AdvoCare company.
The supplement formula is supposed to support overall health and wellbeing, whilst also providing certain health benefits such as better digestive health and supported weight management.
AdvoGreens is Informed-Choice for Sport certified (like AG1 supplement), meaning its quality is assured and certified to have been regularly tested for prohibited substances.
There has been a bit of controversy surrounding the AdvoCare brand since 2019 and therefore I’m keen to take a closer look at this popular AdvoCare greens supplement.
If you’re thinking of purchasing AdvoGreens, or you also want to take a closer look at it, check out my full AdvoCare AdvoGreens review below.
AdvoGreens First Impressions
I’m not too keen on the AdvoCare website – although it’s not lacking in informative content, there’s a real lack of personality behind the brand and the design of the website and the supplements is lacking in enthusiasm.
The AdvoGreens formula is also a bit of a letdown. Unfortunately, there’s a real lack of information about the product on its product page and the ingredients label's branding is a little basic – it’s not exactly eye-catching!
Overall, both the brand and the product make a great first impression!

Background on AdvoCare
AdvoCare was founded in 1993 by the late Charles E. Ragus. AdvoCare products are specifically designed to promote energy, help promote weight loss, and improve sports performance.
Unfortunately, there has been a bit of controversy surrounding AdvoCare. In 2019, the FTC ruled that Advocare was operating as an illegal pyramid scheme – the majority of AdvoCare distributors either made no money or lost money by joining the scheme.
AdvoCare agreed to pay $150 million for consumer refunds and the company was banned from multi-level marketing.
AdvoGreens Benefits
The brand claims that the formula is supposed to support digestive health, provide a feeling of fullness, and support overall health and wellbeing.
As you can see, there are actually not a lot of benefits associated with the AdvoGreens formula, which is odd considering it contains such potent ingredients – maybe they’re not sufficiently dosed!
AdvoGreens Ingredients
AdvoGreens contains 27 main ingredients.
The amounts of only four of these ingredients are fully disclosed since the rest all exist within proprietary blends. Therefore, it’s difficult to work out the efficacy of the formula!
However, more on that later! First, let’s take a look at the ingredients within the formula!
Here is the complete list of the AdvoGreens ingredients:
- Grass and Vegetable Blend – 5.4g –Barley Grass, Spinach, Wheat Grass, Alfalfa Juice Concentrate, Broccoli, Kale, Spirulina Extract, Carrot, Green Tea Extract, Green Coffee Extract, Chlorella, Kelp.
- Enzyme Blend – 420mg –Inulin, (Alpha & Beta Amylase, Protease I, Protease II, Lipase, Lactase, Hemicellulase, Cellulase, Invertase, Diastase), Lactobacillus Acidophilus.
- Chia Seed – 300mg
- Flax Seed – 300mg
- Apple Fiber – 125mg
- Pea Fiber – 100mg
- Other Ingredients-Sugar, Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Rebaudioside A (Stevia Extract), Honey.
Here is the supplement label:
How does AdvoGreens Taste?
AdvoGreens is Lemon flavored. It’s naturally flavored and sweetened with sugar, honey, and stevia extract.
Reviews concerning the taste of the formula are mixed, but the majority of people seem to think that the formula tastes overly sweet and extremely lemony, to the point where it’s unpleasant and difficult to drink.
Side Effects
There are no side effects associated with the AdvoGreens formula. The brand suggests that those who are pregnant or nursing should consult a doctor before consuming this formula.
I would also suggest that if you are on medication or have a medical condition, you should also consult a doctor before consuming AdvoGreens.
Does AdvoGreens Work?
Unfortunately, only a few of the ingredients have their amounts actually shown on the AdvoGreens’ ingredients label.
However, these ingredients don’t have a recommended dose and therefore it’s impossible to say whether they will be effective or not.
The rest of the ingredients within Advogreens exist within proprietary blends, meaning it’s unclear how much of these ingredients actually exist in the formula.
Therefore, it’s difficult to work out the efficacy of the formula. However, we can take a look at the total amount of each blend and compare this amount to the recommended doses of the ingredients within each blend.
So, let’s get started trying to figure out the efficacy of the formula.
The only blend that contains ingredients with standard recommended doses is the Grass and Vegetable Blend.
The Grass and Vegetable Blend total 5.4g and since the combined recommended dose of wheatgrass, spirulina, chlorella, and green tea extract totals 6.25mg, not all of the ingredients within this blend can be sufficiently dosed.
The Enzyme, Prebiotic, and Probiotic blend may contain substantial doses of enzymes, probiotics, and prebiotics.
Overall, it’s clear that not all of the green ingredients within the formula are sufficiently dosed. Therefore, they may not be as effective as the brand claims they will.
Additionally, I don’t appreciate that the formula contains sugar!
AdvoGreens Reviews
Due to the fact that AdvoGreens is only available on the Advocare website, we can only take a look at the reviews of the formula on there.
Just be aware that since these reviews are on the brand’s own website, they may be biased. So, take them with a pinch of salt!
Overall, the formula has 572 customer reviews and scores a rating of 4.4 stars out of 5 stars.
So, let’s take a look at some of these reviews!
The Advocare Greens has been life-changing. From a person who could never get “regular,” I love the change this has made. I like to mix this with my morning Spark so I never forget to drink it.5-star review
The taste isn’t bad but the lemon flavor is a little strong. I wanted to add it to my berry smoothies but the lemon is too overpowering.3-star review
I was looking for a replacement for the “green drink” I’ve drank every morning for 4 years. Unfortunately, this isn’t it. Way too sweet and lemon flavoring is way too strong.1-star review

Where to buy AdvoGreens?
You can buy AdvoGreens from the Advocare website.
Is It Worth The Price?
One tub of AdvoGreens contains 20 servings of formula.
You can either buy the formula on a one-time purchase or you can become a “preferred customer” and save 20%.
On a one-time purchase, one tub of AdvoGreens costs $32.95, meaning the cost per serving works out at $1.65.
As a preferred customer, one tub of AdvoGreens costs $26.35, meaning the cost per serving works out at $1.32.
Unfortunately, since the formula contains sugar, doesn’t have a fully disclosed ingredients label, and not all of the ingredients within the formula are sufficiently dosed, I don’t think it’s worth the price that it’s sold at.
My Final Verdict
Unfortunately, I’m not keen on the AdvoGreens formula for a number of reasons.
The formula is produced by AdvoCare, which has caused controversy in the past for being an illegal multi-level marketing company. Although I’m sure the brand has changed and evolved since then, I’m still not sure I’d buy from this brand.
The formula’s ingredients label is also not fully disclosed and not all of the green ingredients within the formula are sufficiently dosed.
Additionally, the formula doesn’t taste good and it’s expensive.
Overall, if you’re looking for a powerful super greens formula, I wouldn’t recommend this one. Instead, choose a super greens formula that has a fully disclosed ingredients label and definitely contains sufficiently dosed ingredients.
LifeHacker Guy Greens Recommendation
Some Call This An "Extreme" Step...
Most super greens supplements are disappointing.
I learned this the hard way. After creating this blog in 2018, I spent months buying and testing all the most popular brands.
I wasn’t happy with the results so I did something you might call "extreme"....
In 2019 I created my own brand that ticks every single box of what I look for in a super greens product:
- No hidden ingredient amounts - we have full disclosure labelling, so you know EXACTLY whats inside
- Ingredient amounts that make a difference - we include the minimum effective amounts supported by research, and most of the time, MORE
- Ingredients that help immunity, boost mental clarity and shake off brain fog - making for a much more productive and happy lifestyle
No more worrying about ineffective ingredients or too low dosages. I finally have a product I KNOW does the job it’s made to do.
I use it every day and, after years of battling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), I now have my energy (and my life!) back.
The good news? I made my brand available to the public so you can see and feel the difference for yourself.
