  • 3 capsules equals how many vegetable servings.

  • Supplements made from powdered fruits and vegetables, such as the Organic Fermented Greens by Dr. Mercola, typically contain various blends of dehydrated fruits, vegetables, grains, and grasses. These supplements aim to supplement or complement your daily intake of fruits and vegetables, but the exact equivalent in vegetable servings can vary depending on the specific formulation and nutrient concentration.

    There is no standardized method to determine the precise number of vegetable servings encapsulated in a supplement, as formulations and nutrient contents can be proprietary and vary greatly. However, general guidelines can be inferred from various sources:

    1. Encapsulated Fruit, Vegetable, and Berry Juice Powder Concentrates: These types of supplements are generally designed to provide a concentrated source of various nutrients found in fruits and vegetables. For example, studies have shown that taking a certain number of capsules can significantly increase serum concentrations of major antioxidant vitamins and folate, suggesting substantial nutrient intake1.

    2. Greens Powders: These supplements often claim to be equivalent to one or more servings of vegetables. However, this claim varies by product and is generally not standardized across the market2.

    For specific information about Dr. Mercola's Organic Fermented Greens, it would be best to refer directly to the manufacturer's detailed guidelines or consult with a nutritionist who can provide tailored advice based on the supplement's nutritional content and your dietary needs.
