Patriot Power Greens review

Patriot Power Greens Review: Ingredients, Dosages, Serving Costs

First off, I should make clear that Patriot Power Greens is not marketed towards me but senior citizens. I am not quite there just yet. I knew from the outset it’s unlikely to be a greens powder supplement for me.

That said, when researching best greens powders, I often saw this brand and so had to check it out.

I tried to buy Patriot Power Greens via the official website but it’s only available in the US and Canada. So, I had to get a friend to order for me and have it sent over to Malaysia where I live to give this product a try.

After taking for 5 days I wanted to write my Patriot Power Greens review and give my insight into this product and why it definitely doesn’t make my top greens health supplement!

Patriot Power Greens Single and Double sizes

I tried over 40 brands: For the best greens powders go to this page!)

What are Patriot Power Greens?

When first taking a look at Patriot Power Greens I saw a lot of big claims made by the manufacturer, Patriot Health Alliance.

The strong claims suggest you can turn back many age-related health issues and get back to your youth (and even feel half your age!), without the need for harmful prescription medication.

Patriot Power Greens review

Statements such as unlimited stamina, relief from joint pain, less gas and bloating, and healthier heart and blood pressure. Whilst this isn’t common amongst supplements, especially some Super Greens, claims of turning back your clock and feeling in your 20’s again is surely overstated!

Apart from anecdotal evidence, there doesn't appear to be any science to support these claims.

You can buy Patriot Power Greens in two sizes, one in a single 160g size canister and the “double sized” canister. Interestingly the double-sized Power Greens version still says 30 servings, which each serving size at 5g.

I presume this is so you can either share with your partner or you take double the daily dose.

Other Greens powders I have reviewed you may be interested in:

Background on Patriot Health Alliance

Patriot Power Greens are manufactured by Patriot Health Alliance who are based in Texas, USA. Their brands are mostly aimed at senior citizens in the US and although they are most famous for their Power Greens supplement, Patriot Health Alliance also produces a fair number of other health and nutritional brands.

Patriot Power Reds, Patriot Power Proteins, Patriot Vital4, Patriot Renewal, American DreamZzz, Patriot Ultra-Biotics, and Sinus Complete.

The company is very patriotic (as the name suggests) and they support the US Armed forces by making donations from every 3 or 5 canister orders placed. I couldn’t see anywhere how much they donate or how much so far has been donated though.

Patriot Power Greens Ingredients

Each scoop of Patriot Power Greens contains forty fruits and vegetables, which include probiotics and digestive enzymes too. I noticed that the scoop size is on the small size, with each scoop only being 5g!

The next thing I noticed when checking over the ingredients – Proprietary blend, proprietary blend, proprietary blend!

To be honest, now I am not that surprised seeing this as most of the Super Greens I have researched use blends. I really dislike this practice though and I outline why I hate the use of proprietary blends. You can check out the post I have linked to for me, but in short, using proprietary blends means you don’t know for sure how much of each ingredient is available.

When Patriot Power Greens contains forty ingredients and the serving size is so small, it’s simply not believable that there are enough ingredients to provide the benefits claimed!

There is a big deal made about the probiotics contained in Patriot Power Greens, but no information on the amount contained in each serving. This again makes it impossible to compare against other Green powder brands, such as Green Vibrance and Green TONIK supplement, who outlined all their ingredients.

Patriot Power Greens Label

How does Patriot Power Greens Taste?

When mixing power greens with water as recommended I found it mixed fairly well. The taste is okay actually and has a berry flavor that is a little sweet.

It’s not as sweet as Athletic Greens though for comparison.

Patriot Power Greens Side Effects

The good news is that I didn’t experience any negative side effects when taking Patriot Power Greens.

I found a few customer reviews complaining of stomach cramps and diarrhea, but I had no digestive issues at all.

Does Patriot Power Greens work?

Yes and no. I believe that Power Greens is unlikely to give the benefits outlined in the companies claims.

In the ingredients section above, I outlined my concern that the serving size was tiny at only 5g. Delving into the nutritional facts and it’s clear the amounts are certainly too small to have much, if any, benefit at all!

Delving into the nutritional facts and it’s clear the amounts are certainly too small to have much benefit.

A good example is with the Spirulina content, as the “Greens and Sea vegetables” blend is only 1,067mg in size. According to Examine.com, you need a minimum of 1-8g per serving of Spirulina to experience any benefit from this ingredient.

Clearly, there won’t be enough of this ingredient in each tiny scoop of Patriot Power Greens, and almost certainly not for many of the other ingredients too!

On the positive side though, there is a good range of ingredients that could act as a nutritional top up. This could be helpful if you’re finding your diet often poor at many times.

Having said that, this is an expensive way to “top up” your diet though, especially when it’s not clear how much of each ingredient you’re actually getting!

I am simply struggling to find how Patriot Power Greens can substantiate the claims of reducing fatigue and inflammation from the ingredient amounts in their formula – you simply need more to improve or in some cases prevent these conditions.

So, I am not too convinced.

Patriot Power Greens Customer Reviews

Checking out online reviews for Patriot Power Greens it’s clear that the feedback is very mixed.

Some customers are sold on the benefits of this supplement whilst a number feel no difference and complain about the poor (or non-existent) customer support!

This by far is the best tasting green's formula ever. (Believe me, I've tried them all!) No grassy earthy taste like most. I think that for the price it's the best out there. Richard.

My husband and I love this product. I'm 50 and he is 52 and we have been drinking it daily for 6 months. We both experience higher energy, and faster hair and nail growth. Teresa.

DO NOT ORDER. The only reason I gave it one star was because I couldn't proceed without a rating. They don't deserve any stars. Customer service is non-existent. Tried calling 10 times, each time placed on hold then call is dropped. E-mailed 7 times, no response until I threatened with an attorney. Hali M.

Junk product – terrible taste, no noticeable benefits. And don't even think about trying to talk to their customer service about their alleged guarantee — nobody answers the phone, no email, no nothing. Maureen.

Of course, please bear in mind these are just a few reviews, I have tried to keep a fair balance in selecting a few of the Patriot Power Green customer reviews.

Money Back Guarantee / Returns Policy

There is an impressive “lifetime 100% money-back guarantee” on every order of Patriot Power Greens. With many supplements, their return policies include tricky clauses it’s really great to see what seems to be a no-nonsense guarantee.

So, you can give Power Greens a try and if not happy can contact Patriot Alliance for their returns address. Once they have received the order back, they will refund 100% of your money minus any applicable shipping fees.

I didn’t return my order and so cannot confirm for sure how straight forward this process is in reality.

Where To Buy Patriot Power Greens?

It seems that you can only really buy Patriot Power Greens directly from the manufacturer via a somewhat long (and I mean very long) web page.

Searching on Amazon.com and online in general I only came across simple affiliate sites promoting the product. Interestingly when clicking on these I often came to a blank page, or web page displaying an error.

This is most likely due to the product ONLY being available in the US and at the time was at home in Malaysia! As I mentioned at the start of this review, I had to order this via a friend and have them post to me in order to give it a try.

Is It Worth The Price?

As far as Super Greens go, Patriot Power Greens is very reasonably priced. I would even go as far as saying that opting for the special five canister deal is a bargain.

There are three packages available, with one canister costing $49.95 with $8.95 shipping, three canisters $149 with free shipping, and the biggest package of five canisters for $149 (actually a special buy 3 and get 2 free).

At first glance, it seems that Power Greens is well worth the price tag. This is the case if you’re just comparing price but it’s really about the ingredients and amounts, and it’s this that makes me question if this supplement is actually good value.

Patriot Power Greens free gifts

The company tries to sweeten the deal even further by giving away five “free” gifts with your order. These include a shaker bottle, a few nutritional PDF guides, free shipping, and donation of Patriot Power Greens to active duty military men and women.

Patriot Power Greens FAQs

I wanted to address some of the Patriot Power Greens frequently asked questions that I, and other consumers, have about the supplement.

Is Patriot Power Greens legitimate?

Yes, it's a legitimate supplement and has been on the market for a number of years now.

Is Patriot Power greens safe?

The ingredients in each 5-gram serving comprise of berries, fruits, and vegetables. Although there is no information about quantities of ingredients in each serving, there are no stimulants in the formula and so for the majority of consumers should be safe.

The website states that every ingredient is tested for verification and that these tests are also performed a second time on the finished product. Each batch of their Greens powder is then tested for heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury). The seaweed in Patriot Power Greens is sourced from southern China (not Japan where radiation is an issue).

Is Patriot Power Greens safe for Type 2 Diabetics?

Patriot Power Greens is an all-natural formula that is considered safe and effective for nearly everyone. However, anyone considering taking this supplement who has an existing medical condition should first consult their medical practitioner before taking ANY supplement and this is the case here with Power Greens.

Can I buy Patriot Power Greens in a store?

No, at the current time Power Greens is only available on their website or through Amazon.

The Bottom Line

If you’re a senior citizen based in the US and on a tighter budget, I can see the appeal of Patriot Power Greens. In my opinion, though it’s a sub-par product that just doesn’t live up to the claims made.

The fact is it’s unlikely to contribute much to your diet and overall health. At best it could be a palatable replacement drink instead of a calorie-laden frothy coffee.

…the short fall in ingredients and amounts was a no-no. I demand more from my Greens powder supplement, and so should you!

It’s not easy to buy either if you’re not in the US/Canada, and definitely not worth going through the hassle of getting forwarded to you like I had to do. There are other Greens Supplements around that ship globally, so why bother?

Even with the relatively low cost, it was never going to be viable for me to take Patriot Power Greens regularly, and the shortfall in ingredients and amounts was a no-no. I demand more from my Super Greens, and so should you!

So, as is most likely obvious by now, I will skip this product and look for a better-suited greens brand that ticks all my boxes.

  1. Whoa, quite alot of divergent Patriot Health Alliance reviews here

    First of all, I am almost 71 & have been using Patriot Greens & Reds & their excellent protein powder for years with actually ONLY one BIG complaint….Their products were way too expensive

    So I started scrounging Ebay for out of date (some barely in date, too) Patriot Health Alliance greens, reds & protein powder steals & deals…I eventually scored HUGELY there & have enough of the 3 products listed for perhaps years?

    I only found this very interesting website because I had just listened to a Pro-Plant protein powder video by Dr. Gundry pushing his anti-lectin p.o.v.s & I wanted to know if Patriot Health Alliance products were perhaps made with too many lectins, too?

    Well, I still don’t know enough about lectins to really comment on that sacred subject matter, but did appreciate ALL the comments here (& like ANY organization – Patriot Health Alliance hasn’t been perfect politically either since @ one time its business leaders supported over 40 biolabs there doing their thang asexposed that outrageous ongoing snafu⚡)

    Am very, very curious on your thoughts on lectins now?️‍♂️

    Ps Imo Patriot Health Alliance certainly is not a scam whatsoever⚡

    1. I am now 75 years old,female. I have been taking Patriot Power Greens about 5 years. When I have my blood checked ,labs, my test all come back perfect. Last year I fell and hit my head,ended up in emergency room. They ran labs and was surprised all my labs were perfect! Told them it’s the Patriot Power Greens I drink every day. The doctor seeing my labs was impressed and wanted more info which I gave him. any RX I take have been cut in half and more!

  2. Adam,

    I have been using Patriot Power Greens for going on years now (as of April 2019) and not had any trouble with either the side effects or customer service … as a matter of fact; I found customer service quite pleasant.

    The product;
    I found and still find it very tasteful, not overly sweet and not grainy, like some others.
    It is meant to enhance the fruit and veggie intake you are already getting and to give you some sense of balance if you’re not getting enough fruits and veggies in you daily diet … like me.

    Granted, price-wise it could be more affordable so everyone (on a budget) can get the benefits of better health. And, maybe the 5 g serving size looks small but if taken proper and religiously, the difference will be noticeable (longer than 5 days) … besides, even dynamite comes in small packages.

    Side effects;
    When one introduces something like this into their system, they’d have to be pretty naive not to expect some adverse reaction like diarrhea and such, which I did in the beginning but, I read all about it before purchasing and trying it so, I was forewarned and prepared.

    Also, if I recall, I read the word DETOX in my research. That there says a lot.

    What I am having trouble with is your time framing.

    You … said/ wrote/ typed/ stated:

    #1) “After creating this blog in 2018, I spent months buying and testing all the most popular brands.”
    #2) “I tried over 40 brands: For the best greens powders”
    #3) “After taking (I am assuming, Patriot Power Greens) for 5 days I wanted to write my Patriot Power Greens review and give my insight into this product”
    #4) “In 2019 I created my own brand that ticks every single box of what I look for in a super greens product”

    Now, this blog was last updated September 2021.

    You created this blog in 2018 …
    Not actually knowing the exact month you created this blog, I am going to give the benefit of the doubt and I am going to say you created this blog the beginning of January 2018, giving us a whole year number.

    You created your own brand in December 2019 (once again, without knowing the exact month and for the benefit of the doubt, let’s say the end of December 2019) a whole year number.
    Giving us 2 whole years (24 months) to work with.

    You are saying, between the beginning of January 2018 and the end of December 2019, you tried, tested and researched 40 brands, 1 being Patriot Power Greens (giving it only 5 days mind you).

    If my calculations are correct …
    There are 365 days in a year
    x 2 years = 730 days (2 years/24 months)
    730 days (2 years/24 months) ÷ 40 brands = 18.25 days

    In all fairness and my opinion, that doesn’t give any of the brands ample chance to work or for anyone to feel the benefits … let alone only 5 days for Patriot Power Greens.

    It is a human frailty that they;
    Expect results RIGHT NOW! … Miracles overnight … Something for nothing.
    It’s a sad reality but it’s true, that’s life.

    OK, I’ll get off my soapbox now.
    All in all, I love Patriot Power Greens. I feel awesome ♥

    1. Hi “Royal”,
      Thank you for your feedback, I am glad that Patriot greens are working for you. If that’s the case then great.
      In terms of dates, the date on the post is whenever an update is made. I frequently update posts to keep them up-to-date as possible, this is why you’re seeing the dates, nothing untoward here.
      As with ALL information on the internet, this is for informational purposes and you can take or ignore this as you see fit.
      I began looking into greens produces in 2017 as I needed to supplement my diet and ensure I got the right amount of each every day. I soon discovered many brands are sub-par, most didn’t reveal ingredient weights (how do you know they are sufficient?), and if they did often in poor dosages that do not reflect the science.
      The combination of my degree in Sports Science, my interest in improving my health (you can see the reasons why on this blog), and that I spent my own money and time researching these supplements, I believe puts me in a good position to outline what I like and what I don’t with the brands I have reviewed.
      I wish you all the best health and thanks again for stopping by.
      Adam

  3. Dear Adam!

    Can you please recommend a good/complete protein powder for adults in there 60’s? Hopefully it would be natural & have collagen and essential amino acids.

    Thank You

    Greg

  4. People have no knowledge of the fact that scalp therapy shampoos for fast hair growth (of course with no sulfates, no parabens, no DEA) are a thing. Folks can now experience longer hair and experience more possibilities. Certainly worth looking into it.

    Whether you’re assessing alopecia, hair damage, preventing scalp disorders, fast hair growth, hair health at large, similar rules come to mind.

    In general, you want to stay away from hair products and treatments that use chemicals like parabens, DEA and sulfates.

    What’s healthy for your hair is good for your skin as well.

    For obvious reasons your content above is so accurate for multiple reasons. It avoids the accustomed mistakes and mistakes too many fall into: utilizing defective alternatives. Keep it up!

  5. I have used Patriot Power Greens for some years to offset a diet lacking enough veggies. I have bought other products from the company and I find their Customer Service to be OUTSTANDING when I have a question, problem or return.

  6. patriot green is a scam i am a senior citizen and it did nothing for me or my friends, by the time you give product a chance you are out of warrenty. total rip off

    1. We tried patriot greens my husband didn’t notice any difference. I stop because of side effects. Have you or anyone have any problems with side effects

    2. I have been using Patriot Power Greens sporadically for years. I started in my mid-50’s when I didnt seem to have the energy I used too. I am very active outdoors except in the freezing winter weather but I was always just kind of tired all the time. I ordered Power Greens and it did take 2 full weeks of taking it before I started feeling better. But after that I had my energy back in a big way. That first year I was taking it every day. After that I was feeling good so I quit taking it daily but would would take it maybe 2 or 3 times a week and the enegy was still there. Then I quit taking it for a few months and I slowly slipped back into not feeling my best so I picked it back up again. I know it may not work for everybody and the company doesn’t list amounts of certain things on the label, but it works for me. But I consider myself to be kind of fairly healthy and just needing a little boost to the energy supply, and PP Greens does give me that. The cost of well under $2 a day is irrelevent to me as long as it works

  7. 1 stars out of 5:
    1. expensive
    2. disgusting
    3. gave to my perfectly working guts diarrhea
    4. felt no difference for my health (I’m 51 y.o.)

  8. Dear Adam,

    I signed up because of your impressive, independent reviews, with no vested interests. Finding truly independent reviews without any covert vested interests is not easy in an age of universal deceit where telling the truth is a revolutionary act, as Orwell so rightly said.

    Regards,

    Bob
