Cymbiotika Super Greens is a supplement containing alkalizing greens and chlorophyll in a handy to consume pouch you can squeeze directly into your mouth or drink.
I have not seen this style pouch used for super greens before but these years ago used something similar filled with a glucose mix to be used during cycling.
I am keen to see how effective these are and whether the formula stacks up. If you're keen to buy then read on for my Cymbiotika Super Greens review.
What is Cymbiotika Super Greens?
This supplement offers an easy way to consume some greens in a handy pouch you can drink directly or drop into your favorite drink.
The formula contains a mix of chlorophyll, glucoraphanin, broccoli seed, and other alkalizing greens you often find in other greens supplements.
It's the first time I have seen chlorophyll in a greens product, and I will look more into the formula later.

Cymbiotika Super Greens Ingredients
I was very underwhelmed when I looked at the Cymbiotika Greens ingredients, most importantly the serving size, an incredibly tiny 458mg in size!
Apart from Chlorophyll, all the ingredients are within a proprietary blend, so we don't get to know the individual dosages of each ingredient.
I look at the ingredients that make up the formula below to see if they match the claims made by Cymbiotika.
- Chlorophyll (50mg) – Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin from Mulberry Leaf
- Proprietary Super Greens Complex (458mg) – Organifi Alfafa powder, Organic Oat Grass Powder, Organic Spinach powder, Organic Spirulina, Organic Kale, Brocolli seed powder extract, 13% Glucoraphannin powder
- Other Ingredients: – Purified Water, Organic Glycerin, Organic Cassava Syrup, Citris Pectin, Lime Extract, Malic Acid, Organic Lemon Oil, Organic Citrus Extract, Organic Citrus Bioflavonoids
Here is the supplement facts label:
The label is easy to read and clearly shows each serving is 35 calories made up of 8 grams of carbohydrates with zero fat or sugar.
The other ingredients will make up the liquid and the flavoring of the contents.
How does Cymbiotika Super Greens Taste?
Cymbiotika greens are easy to consume you squeeze the contents of the pouch into your mouth or stir them into your favorite beverage.
If mixing in your favorite drink then you may not notice the taste.
Consuming directly you can taste the citrus lime flavor and is not unpleasant.
This is great because I have found lime and lemon flavors to be unpleasant when previously tasting greens powders.
Side Effects
There will be unlikely any side effects from consuming the Cymbiotika Super greens pouch. This is because there are no stimulants in the formula, and also, the dosages will likely be very small.
If you are pregnant, nursing a baby, or have a chronic medical condition such as diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease, consult your doctor or pharmacist before purchasing or taking any supplement.
Does Cymbiotika Super Greens Work?
I have big doubts about the effectiveness of this greens formula.
This is one of the SMALLEST formulas I have seen in a greens supplement, even when compared to greens gummies like 8 Greens Gummies and Goli Super Greens.
A big plus is the zero sugar though because often gummies are sugar-heavy with 2 grams per gummy (how is that healthy?).
To put the serving size into perspective my top-rated greens products have a 12-grams serving which is 24-times that of Cymbiotika greens!
But, what about the ingredients in the formula?
The first ingredient is Chlorophyll which is taken from the Mulberry Leaf. This nutrient is present in green vegetables and other plant-based foods like algae (Source).
There has been an upsurge in the use of Chlorophyll supplementation recently due to promotions seen on TikTok. The health benefits include boosting energy, controlling body odor, wound healing, skincare, and providing a good source of antioxidants.
Although there is no regulated dosage for daily Chlorophyll consumption is between 100 and 300 milligrams (mg) per day over three divided doses (Orgon State University).
Cymbiotika falls short of this dosage!
You can also consume Chlorophyll in green algaes like chlorella and spirulina
The usual greens ingredients are in the “Proprietary Super Greens Complex” of Alfalfa powder, spinach powder, spirulina, kale, and broccoli.
Some promising research shows that these ingredients can have beneficial health results when consumed in sufficient amounts.
The problem is that most greens supplements underdose key ingredients in their formula.
For example, according to Heathline consuming 1-3 grams of Spirulina daily can promote health benefits.
To get the recommended scientific dosage of spirulina, you would need to look at other greens supplements or buy a spirulina supplement.
So, will Cymbiotika greens work?
It will have some benefits if your diet is particularly low in nutrients, but because the dosage of each ingredient is low it won't significantly change your health.
In addition, the claim “alkalizing greens” is a little misleading as greens products DO NOT ALKALIZE this is a job that your body already does an amazing job with regulating blood pH.
Cymbiotika Super Greens Reviews
I could only find Cymbiotika reviews on the official website, not third-party ones. This could be in part because it is a new product.
I do like to get a balanced view of every product I review and so in this case can only show the positive ones posted on their website.
Outstanding product! I take mid-afternoon just by squeezing in my mouth. I love the taste and it gives me a afternoon boost! Thank you CYMBIOTIKA!5 stars
The liposomal sulforphane matrix gives me that boost of energy I need. My body feels amazing with these live supplements in my body!5 stars
As you would imagine reviews on the official website are very positive 🙂

Where to buy Cymbiotika Super Greens?
You can buy Cymbiotkia from the official website and although they have an Amazon store I couldn't find their Super Greens on there.
Is It Worth The Price?
A one-time purchase is going to cost you $78 per month with their subscribe and save option giving you a 10% discount ($70.20 per month).
This is a daily cost of between $2.30 – $2.60.
This is one of the most expensive super greens I have reviewed, with not only the average cost of the super greens being high, but you get very little for your serving cost.
I honestly believe this is a case of paying a lot for convenience over substance.
The Bottom Line: Serving too small to impact your health seriously
This product is a great idea, making it super easy to consume greens on the go. The issue is the ingredients and their dosages – they are too small to impact your health seriously.
Consider that each 30-day supply will cost you between $70-78 per month too!
A nice idea, but there are way too many other greens supplements on the market that give you a much better veggie punch for your buck!
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.
