Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Organic Greens supplements are typically blends of powdered vegetables, grasses (like wheatgrass, barley grass), algae (such as spirulina and chlorella), and sometimes added fiber sources. The idea of using green vegetables and high-fiber plant foods to alleviate constipation is supported by scientific understanding of dietary fiber’s role in digestive health. Fiber increases stool bulk and can promote regular bowel movements, which is why diets rich in fruits and vegetables are recommended for preventing and treating constipation.

However, the evidence specifically supporting "Organic Greens" powders or blends as an effective treatment for constipation in adults is limited. Most clinical studies focus on increased intake of whole dietary fiber from natural food sources rather than powdered supplements. While some greens powders contain added fiber, many do not provide the same amount or variety as whole vegetables. The fiber content and composition can vary widely between products.

A few small studies and anecdotal reports suggest that greens powders may help some individuals with constipation, largely due to their fiber and micronutrient content. However, robust clinical trials on specific Organic Greens products are lacking. Therefore, while the rationale is scientifically plausible and fiber is validated for constipation, direct evidence for greens powders themselves is weak, resulting in a modest evidence rating.
