Texas Superfood Vs Balance Of Nature

On the other hand, Balance of Nature pills is wholefood fruit and vegetable pills that have been on the market for over two decades but are also extremely popular.

Since both supplements are targeted at the same market, I’m going to be reviewing them side by side, looking at specific aspects of both, and coming to a conclusion about which one is the better supplement to buy.

So, whether you’re thinking about purchasing either Texas Superfood or Balance of Nature pills, or you’re stuck trying to compare the two, keep reading this article and we’ll let you know which one’s best!

What Is Texas Superfood?

Texas Superfood is a superfood formula that contains more than 50 ingredients, including grasses, greens, fruits, adaptogens, and herbal extracts.

Texas Superfood is non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and made in the USA.

Texas Superfood is available in both capsule and powdered form.

However, both versions have the same ingredients label. Unfortunately, this ingredients label is made up of several proprietary blends, therefore meaning it’s impossible to see how much of each ingredient exists within the formula.

This makes it incredibly difficult to work out the efficacy of the formula. However, I’ll be taking a much closer look at the efficacy of the formula later on!

What Is Balance Of Nature?

Balance of Nature, founded over two decades ago, is a supplement company that specializes in creating superfood formulas in capsules.

The Balance of Nature Fruit and Vegetable Pills are the brand’s most popular supplements and the ones that we will be reviewing in this article.

The Balance of Nature Fruit and Vegetable pills are non-GMO, dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan.

The Balance of Nature Fruit and Vegetable pills contain a wide range of potent ingredients, but it’s unclear if they will provide an adequate amount of each ingredient for two reasons.

Firstly, it’s completely unclear how much of each ingredient actually exists within the Balance of Nature Fruit and Vegetable capsules due to the fact that all of the ingredients exist within a proprietary blend.

Secondly, capsule formulas very, very rarely provide sufficiently dosed ingredients.

Therefore, they may not be effective.

However, I will be looking more closely at the efficacy of the Balance of Nature Fruit and Vegetable capsules later in this review.

Texas Superfood Vs. Balance of Nature Benefits

Texas Superfood

There is a substantial amount of information about the benefits of the Texas Superfood formula on the brand’s website, which is great to see!

In addition to providing essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, the Texas Superfood formula is supposed to boost energy levels, improve physical performance, improve sleep, support mental clarity, help with weight loss, improve skin quality, and boost mood.

The brand also shares important information about the vitamins and minerals that come from certain ingredients within the formula.

For example,

Apples provide whole-body benefits and are packed with nutrition that includes Vitamins C and B, iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc, potassium, folate and fiber.

Balance of Nature

Unfortunately, Balance of Nature doesn’t provide a lot of information about the benefits associated with the Fruit and Vegetable pills.

This isn’t ideal and as a consumer, it can make it difficult to actually understand the benefits of taking these capsule supplements.

The Balance of Nature website simply states that by consuming these capsules, you will consume the essential vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients needed so that you can “Feel & Be Your Best”.

Unfortunately, this just isn’t enough information to go off and it would be great to see the actual benefits associated with the capsules.

Texas Superfood Vs. Balance of Nature Ingredients

Texas Superfood

Texas Superfood contains over 50 ingredients, all of which exist within several proprietary blends, as mentioned above briefly.

The problem with proprietary blends is that it’s impossible to know whether or not the ingredients are sufficiently dosed since all we can see is the total amount of each blend, as a whole.

Although the ingredients do exist within proprietary blends, we can come to an informed decision about whether or not the formula will be sufficiently dosed by comparing the combined recommended doses of the ingredients within the blends to the total amount of the blends.

Not all of the ingredients within the Texas Superfood formula have standard recommended doses.

However, chlorella, wheatgrass, and maca root do, and since the combined recommended dose of these three ingredients comes to 8g and the recommended serving size of the entire formula is only 6g, it’s very clear that not all of the ingredients within the formula have the ability to be sufficiently dosed.

In fact, it’s quite astonishing that just three of the ingredients within a 50 ingredient formula have a higher combined recommended dose than what is provided per serving.

Overall, although certain ingredients within the formula may exist in substantial amounts and provide benefits, it’s clear that not all of the ingredients within the formula are sufficiently dosed.

Therefore, the formula may not provide the benefits that the brand claims it will.

Balance of Nature

Although Balance of Nature used to claim that the Fruit and Vegetable capsules they produce provided 16 servings of fruit and 15 servings of vegetables, the brand no longer stands behind this statement – clearly, they’ve realized that the statement is a tall tale!

However, the brand does still make a fairly bold statement, claiming that the Fruit and Veggie pills provide 10 servings of fruit and vegetables.

Although Balance of Nature has attempted to explain how these capsules provide exact servings of 10 fruit and vegetables, it’s simply impossible for this number of fruit and vegetables to exist within a serving size of three capsules (2g) per supplement.

To prove that the capsules cannot contain this many servings of fruit and vegetables, we can take a look at the recommended doses of ingredients within the blends and the total amounts of the blends.

Looking at the Fruit capsules, the Maintain Blend contains 8 ingredients and totals 731mg, and since just three of the ingredients – aloe, grape, and blueberry – have a combined recommended dose of 800mg, it’s clearly not sufficiently dosed.

The same goes for the Protect Blend in the Fruit capsules.

This blend totals 719mg, but with cherry and aloe vera having a combined recommended dose of 1g, it clearly doesn’t contain sufficiently dosed ingredients either.

Let’s take a look at the Vegetable capsules.

Both the Maintain Blend and the Protect Blend clearly don’t contain fully sufficiently dosed ingredients since wheatgrass, one of the ingredients in both blends has a recommended dose of 3g, and the blends total 720mg and 713mg, in order.

Overall, just the same as the Texas Superfood formula, although certain ingredients may provide benefits, it’s clear that not all of the ingredients within Balance of Nature Fruit and Vegetable Capsules are sufficiently dosed.

Therefore, they may not provide the benefits that the brand claims they do.

Texas Superfood Vs. Balance of Nature Taste

Texas Superfood

Obviously, the Texas Superfood capsules don’t taste like anything – they’re capsules and therefore as long as you swallow them before they start to break down in your mouth, they won’t have a taste!

However, the Texas Superfood powdered formula has very mixed reviews when it comes to the taste of the formula.

The majority of reviews concerning the taste of the formula are negative, with many claiming it’s overly natural, muddy tasting, and is difficult to drink.

Since there’s so much fruit within the formula, it is a little surprising that the formula has quite so many negative reviews concerning its taste.

Overall, although some people mix it with smoothies and can hack the taste of it, Texas Superfood definitely isn’t the most flavorsome formula on the market.

Balance of Nature

Since Balance of Nature Fruit and Vegetable pills are obviously capsules, they don’t taste like anything.

This is a huge plus side for people who find the taste of superfood powders a little too overwhelming.

However, obviously, as mentioned above, if you don’t swallow the pills before they break down in your mouth, they won’t taste pleasant.

Texas Superfood Vs. Balance of Nature Cost

Texas Superfood

Texas Superfood is sold in tubs that contain 30 servings of powdered formula.

The capsule version of Texas Superfood is sold in tubs of 180 capsules, still equalling 30 servings.

The cost is the same for both powder and capsules. However, you can save money if you buy either of them on a subscription option or order more than one tub, rather than simply buying the supplements on a one-time purchase.

On a one-time purchase, one tub of either the powder or the capsules works out at $59.95. This means that the formula has a cost per serving of $2.00.

On a subscription, one tub of either the powder or the capsules works out at $54.95.

This means that the formula has a cost per serving of $1.83.

If you buy multiple bottles of either the powdered formula or the capsules you can save up to $15.

Therefore, one tub would work out at $44.95, meaning the cost per serving would work out at $1.50.

Even at the lowest price, it’s available for, Texas Superfood is definitely overpriced for what it is.

This is due to the fact that it doesn’t have a fully disclosed ingredients label, contains proprietary blends, and definitely contains insufficiently dosed ingredients.

Balance of Nature

Balance of Nature Fruit and Vegetable pills each contain 30 servings.

Balance of Nature Fruit and Vegetable pills are available at different prices depending on the type of brand-customer you are.

You can be a ‘Preferred customer’, which means you sign up for a subscription and a health coaching program, or you can simply be a one-off customer, which Balance of Nature calls a ‘Retail Customer’.

If you are a “Preferred” customer, the cost for one tub of Balance of Nature Fruit pills and one tub of Balance of Nature Vegetable pills is $69.95.

This works out at a daily cost of $2.33.

If you are a “ Retail” customer, the price is much higher. The cost for one tub of Balance of Nature Fruit pills and one tub of Balance of Nature Vegetable pills is $89.95.

This works out at a daily cost of $3.00.

Honestly, I’m shocked at the price of Balance of Nature Fruit and Vegetable pills.

The cost per serving of these supplements is more expensive than a large number of supplements on the market, even at the “Preferred” customer price.

Since the capsules, much like the Texas Superfood supplements, do not have a fully disclosed label, contain proprietary blends, and contain insufficiently dosed ingredients, I don’t think they’re worth the price that they’re sold at.

Texas Superfood Vs Balance of Nature: Which is Better?

To be completely honest, I feel let down by both Texas Superfood and Balance of Nature.

Although both of these supplements have been on the market for a while, they don’t have disclosed ingredients labels, they provide sufficiently dosed ingredients, and they’re expensive.

Both of these supplements are actually quite similar.

The only reason I would choose to put Texas Superfood above Balance of Nature is that it has a powdered formula. Powdered formulas are much more likely to contain higher nutrient levels and sufficiently dosed ingredients.

Therefore, if you are trying to weigh up which one to go for and you’re certain you want to buy one of these supplements, I would suggest choosing the Texas Superfood powder.

However, if you are looking for a high-quality superfood supplement that will definitely provide you with sufficiently dosed ingredients, provide you with benefits, and be kind to your wallet, I would suggest looking 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.
