Consumer advice
If you genuinely struggle to eat vegetables, this is a legitimate supplement—but it's not a replacement for actual produce. Before buying, ask yourself: Can I afford $60-80/month? If yes, could I instead buy $10-15 worth of frozen vegetables weekly and actually eat them? The honest answer for most people is yes. If you do buy it, take it consistently and don't skip eating real vegetables. For budget-conscious shoppers, a $15-20 multivitamin + eating any vegetables at all will deliver 80% of the benefit at 1/4 the cost.
