Isagenix Greens is a super greens powder that contains a range of potent green ingredients, algae, and herbal extracts.
The formula is supposed to provide essential vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients to the consumer in a tasty, easy-to-make, and nourishing way.
All of the ingredients within the formula are gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, non-GMO, and suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and those on keto diets.
Isagenix is a US-based multi-level marketing company that’s incredibly popular around the world, and since the Greens formula is one of its most popular supplements, I’m keen to take a closer look to figure out if it really packs a punch or falls short.
So, if you’re thinking of purchasing Isagenix Greens, or you also want to take a closer look at it, check out my full Isagenix Greens review below.
What is Isagenix Greens?
I’m really not a fan of Isagenix’s website. It’s obvious that this company is an MLM type of company – the website is pretty basic, the branding of the products doesn’t stand out, and there’s not a lot of informative content on there!
Similarly, the Isagenix Greens formula looks pretty bland. There’s also a real lack of information about the benefits associated with the formula, as well as the ingredients within it.
My first impressions aren’t great, so I’m definitely hoping it blows me away when I start to take a closer look at it.

Background on Isagenix
Isagenix is a multi-level marketing company based in the USA but operating in over 17 international markets. The company was founded in 2002 by John Anderson, Jim Coover, and Kathy Coover.
Isagenix produces dietary supplements, meal packs, and beauty products. The Greens formula is one of its newest and best-sellers.
Although I am not and never have been a fan of MLM companies, the company is open about the fact that it’s an MLM company, which is a start at least!
Isagenix Greens Benefits
There are actually no specific benefits associated with this formula, which seems slightly odd!
Instead, the company simply claims that the Greens formula will provide the consumer with important vitamins minerals, and phytonutrients.
Isagenix Greens Ingredients
Isagenix Greens contains 18 ingredients in total.
Unfortunately, there’s a real lack of information about how much of each ingredient exists within the formula.
The brand has chosen not to show the amount of every ingredient, but instead show the percentage of certain ingredients within the formula.
This lack of transparency is a huge issue and makes working out the efficacy of the formula difficult.
However, I’ll be looking more closely at that later in this review. First, let’s take a look at the ingredients label.
- Spinach Powder (33.5%), Kale Powder (27%), Pea Flakes, Sweet Potato Powder, Carrot Powder, Natural Flavourings, Thickener (Guar Gum), Spirulina (2.4%), Dehydrated Apple, Broccoli Powder (1.1%), Quinoa Powder, Coconut Water, Chlorella (0.5%), Purple Corn Powder, Sweetener (Steviol Glycosides), Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid), Turmeric Powder, Purple Carrot Powder.
Here is the supplement label:
How does Isagenix Greens Taste?
Isagenix claims that the Greens formula tastes minty and cucumbery, although it’s not specifically flavored. However, it is sweetened with stevia extract.
Reviews concerning the taste of the formula don’t seem to be very positive – it seems to be pungent and overpowering. However, there are some customer’s that state they enjoy the taste of the formula.
Side Effects
There are no side effects associated with Isagenix Greens. In fact, the brand actually suggests that the formula can be consumed by anyone from 4 years and up.
However, I would suggest that if you are pregnant, nursing, on medication, or have a medical condition, you should consult a doctor before consumption.
Does Isagenix Greens Work?
Isagenix Greens doesn’t have a fully disclosed label, making it difficult to work out the efficacy of the formula.
However, unlike other formulas on the market, the Isagenix Greens formula doesn’t contain proprietary blends, but it shows absolutely no information about most ingredients, but some information about specific ones.
When it comes to showing information about these specific ingredients, the company has also chosen to show the amounts of these ingredients as percentages, which makes it more of an effort for you if you try to work out the efficacy of the formula!
However, fear not, let’s take a look at these highlighted ingredients and see if the percentage lines up with the standard recommended dose of them!
Firstly, it’s clear that a lot of this formula is simply spinach powder.
In fact, 33.5% of the formula, or 3.02g is spinach powder! Although spinach powder doesn’t have a recommended dose, this is clearly a substantial dose of this ingredient and therefore, that’s fine!
The same goes for kale powder – there’s 27% (or 2.43g) of kale powder within the formula, and although it doesn’t have a standard recommended dose, this is a substantial amount.
However, the issues start when we look at the ingredients that do have standard recommended doses!
There’s only 216mg (2.4%) of spirulina within the formula, but the recommended dose is 1g, minimum.
There’s only 45mg (0.5%) of chlorella within the formula, but the recommended dose is 2g, minimum.
Clearly, both of these ingredients are nowhere near sufficiently dosed and therefore the consumer may not be provided with these benefits.
Additionally, it’s completely unclear what the dose of the other ingredients within the formula actually exists within this formula.
Therefore, overall, some of the most potent ingredients within the formula are not sufficiently dosed, and quite frankly, the lack of transparency is very concerning.
Isagenix Greens Reviews
Surprisingly for a product produced by an MLM company, Isagenix Greens is actually available on Amazon and therefore we can take a look on there to see a selection of honest and hopefully unbiased customer reviews.
Overall, the formula has a total of 95 customer ratings and it scores 4.4 stars out of 5 stars.
So, let’s take a look at some of these reviews!
I used to manage a health food store (years ago), and I love this product because it's not formulated to be a supplement, but rather it's a concoction of quite a number of very healthy greens. I find after using it for a few days, I have more energy and bounce. Good stuff, all natural.5-star review
As with all well-being products its hard to know if there is a benefit. I ordered this as i was having surgery and thought i might need the extra support. I can tell you i recovered quickly and easily from the surgery. Will i buy more, not sure, think if i eat plenty of salads and veg it will be the same. But this product tasted okay, not great, and served its purpose for me.4-star review
Love this product but the current price is ridiculous! Great way to get your veggies and super for adding fiber to your diet. Finding a dealer to buy it from is very hard so it was awesome when Amazon had it for a reasonable price. Anything over $40 is not reasonable.1-star review
Money-Back Guarantee / Returns Policy
Isagenix doesn’t offer a money-back guarantee and returns are out of the question for single-time buyers.
However, the Isagenix website states that for sellers, there is a fully detailed Return and Refund Policy in the “Compliance” section of the Back Office Library.
Where to buy Isagenix Greens?
You can buy Isagenix Greens from the Isagenix website or from Amazon.
Is It Worth The Price?
Since Isagenix is an MLM company, there are two price options of the Greens formula – one for preferred customers, and a retail price for people buying it on a one-off.
One tub of Isagenix Greens contains 30 servings of formula.
If you are purchasing the formula on a one-time purchase and you’re not a preferred customer, the cost of one tub totals $51.99, meaning the cost per serving works out at $1.73.
If you are a preferred customer, one tub costs $38.99, meaning the cost per serving works out at $1.30.
Since this formula doesn’t have a disclosed ingredients label, doesn’t contain sufficiently dosed ingredients, and is made by an MLM company, I don’t think it’s worth the price that it’s sold at!
My Final Verdict
Unfortunately, I’m left unimpressed by the Isagenix Greens formula.
Not only do I not like MLM companies, but this greens formula completely lacks a transparent ingredients label, it doesn’t have sufficiently dosed ingredients, and it doesn’t have a clear return policy.
If you’re looking for a high-quality greens powder that is actually going to provide you with health benefits, look elsewhere!
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.
