EssentiaGreens and Reds™ Chocolate

EssentiaGreens and Reds Chocolate is a daily superfood powder from Designs for Health formulated to support antioxidant status, digestive health, energy production, and healthy inflammatory responses in a chocolate-flavored format that mixes easily into water, smoothies, or protein shakes. It is intended for adults seeking a convenient way to increase daily phytonutrient intake particularly those who prefer a chocolate flavor profile that makes consistent daily use more sustainable, or those following a low-oxalate diet who need a greens formula with a verified oxalate content. One scoop per day is the recommended serving. Unlike the Strawberry Kiwi and Unflavored versions, the Chocolate flavor does not contain wheat grass juice, making it suitable for individuals with wheat or gluten sensitivity, and contains no digestive enzymes. It is free from added sugar, fillers, bulking agents, legumes, alfalfa, and artificial sweeteners.

The Chocolate flavor shares the core architecture of the broader EssentiaGreens and Reds line organic greens, vegetables, and fruits selected for phytonutrient density while maintaining a low-oxalate profile with less than 45 mg of oxalates per serving. The antioxidant anchor across all flavors is OxyPhyte®, a registered trademark blend of grape seed and grape skin extracts with a high ORAC value, delivering polyphenols and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) that support cellular antioxidant defense and healthy metabolic function. The Chocolate version's distinguishing prebiotic source is organic inulin — a well-characterized fructooligosaccharide (FOS) fiber derived from chicory root that selectively stimulates the growth of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species in the colon. Inulin has an extensive published evidence base as a prebiotic and contributes to the formula's 2 g of dietary fiber per serving alongside the soluble and insoluble fiber naturally present in the whole-food ingredients.

The formula operates through the same foundational mechanism as the rest of the line: concentrated phytonutrient delivery from whole-food-derived ingredients harvested at peak potency and protected from environmental stressors during processing to preserve heat-sensitive plant compounds. Chlorophylls, carotenoids, flavonoids, and polyphenols from the greens and fruit components support hepatic detoxification pathways, contribute to endogenous antioxidant enzyme activity, and provide signaling compounds that modulate inflammatory responses at the cellular level. OxyPhyte® grape polyphenols extend this antioxidant coverage with a particularly high concentration of OPCs, which are associated with support for vascular health and cellular oxidative defense. The organic inulin prebiotic supports gut microbiome composition by selectively feeding commensal bacteria that produce short-chain fatty acids particularly butyrate, acetate, and propionate which fuel colonocytes, reinforce intestinal barrier integrity, and regulate immune tone. The Chocolate format is well-suited for daily adherence in individuals who benefit from the ritual of a warm or cold chocolate-flavored drink as part of their morning or post-workout routine.
