Organ Powders vs. Greens Powders: The Real Superfood

The Rise of Greens Powders

Walk into any health store (or scroll Instagram) and you’ll see them everywhere — bright green powders promising energy, detox, and “all the nutrients you need in one scoop.” Brands like Athletic Greens (AG1) and others have made plant-based powders one of the fastest-growing supplement categories.

But here’s the question: are greens powders really the “ultimate superfood”? Or are they just clever marketing?

The truth: while greens powders can provide some plant-based antioxidants and fiber, they don’t deliver the essential vitamins, minerals, and co-factors your body actually craves.

That’s where organ powders come in.

What Greens Powders Provide (and What They Don’t)

Most greens powders are made from dehydrated spinach, kale, broccoli, wheatgrass, or spirulina. While they do offer phytonutrients and trace minerals, they fall short in key areas:

• Little to no vitamin B12 → crucial for energy and red blood cell production.
• Low in bioavailable iron → plant iron (non-heme) is poorly absorbed.
• No CoQ10 → vital for mitochondrial energy and heart health.
• No peptides or enzymes → plants can’t replicate organ-specific compounds.
• Often spiked with flavoring, stevia, or fillers to mask taste.

Greens powders can be a nice boost of plant nutrients, but they’re not complete nutrition.

Why Organs Are the Original Superfood

For centuries, traditional cultures prized organ meats — not kale smoothies — as sacred foods for strength and vitality. Here’s why:

• Liver → vitamin A (retinol), B12, folate, heme iron, copper.
• Heart → CoQ10, B vitamins, zinc.
• Kidney → selenium, peptides, enzymes.

Together, this trio provides energy, immunity, oxygen delivery, and antioxidant defense — in bioavailable forms your body can actually use.

Side-by-Side: Organ Powder vs Greens Powder

When it comes to nutrient density and bioavailability, organ powders win every time.

Why “Superfood” Should Mean Super Nutrient-Dense

A true superfood isn’t about hype — it’s about nutrient impact. Organs pack more vitamins and minerals per gram than almost any other food. Compare liver to spinach, and the difference in vitamin A, B12, and iron is staggering.

If you’re serious about energy, immunity, and resilience, organs are the original and ultimate superfood.

The Convenient Answer: Mixed Organ Powder

You don’t need to cook liver, heart, and kidney every week. PrimalRx Bovine Organ Powder delivers the full-spectrum nutrition of these organs in one versatile blend:

• Grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine organs
• Freeze-dried for maximum nutrient preservation
• Neutral-tasting powder — add to smoothies, sauces, or meals
• The real superfood, without the marketing fluff

Key Takeaway

Greens powders aren’t bad, but they’re not complete. For true superfood status, you need nutrients that only organ meats can provide — vitamin B12, retinol, CoQ10, heme iron, selenium, and peptides.
