green vibrance?

is green vibrance good to help you heal and detox and is it like a smoothie you drink for protein in the mornings? I was thinking of getting some.

Everybody talks about Green Vibrance, but I don't care what anyone says, sprouts have gluten in them. I have talked to people on Celiac forums, and they all say the same thing. Grains sprout unevenly, and there's no way you can harvest them without getting some of the gluten.

I really wish there were a drink like that that was TOTALLY gluten free. Otherwise, I might have to order Spirulina and Chlorella, and things of that sort.

I researched Green Vibrance and found this on their website about the gluten:

"How can Green Vibrance be gluten free if it contains various grasses?:


Green Vibrance contains NO grains or grain byproducts. As such, it is formulaically gluten free. Nevertheless, we have gone one step further and actually assayed the finished product for gluten through an outside lab, and found none.

Gluten is to be found in the protein fractions of mature grain. Green Vibrance, as well as Field of Greens and GV Junior, all contain cereal GRASS juice powders and whole leaf powders. These grasses are harvested when they reach about six inches to a foot in height. They are harvested just before the "jointing" stage is reached, the time when nutrient density is greatest. This stage of growth occurs many weeks prior to the formation of the plant's seed head -- the part of the plant that eventually delivers the grain with all its gluten.

So even though Green Vibrance uses cereal grass juice powders, there is absolutely no grain harvested along with them. Hence, there is no gluten in Green Vibrance, either from those juice powders or from any other ingredient in Green Vibrance.

Does the term “Gluten free” mean there is zero gluten?:

Gluten free means there are less than 20 parts per million of gluten. Vibrant Health products are all far below this minimum standard."

Well see, Elleon, first off, I had the same reaction when using Green Vibrance that I get from gluten.

Secondly, cereals can sprout at different rates, and when they are harvesting the actual sprout, which, as you know, does not contain gluten, they can inadvertently harvest part of the grain that does contain gluten.

Obviously, the greens grow in large fields or batches, or it would be impossible to harvest them. As such, sometimes the wrong part of the grain does go into the mix.

Look at some celiac disease forums, and type in Green Drinks, or wheat grass, or something of the sort.

If it does folks well, I'm not seeing you should avoid it, unless you have Celiac Disease, or are totally intolerant of gluten.

Garden, I truly don't know, but I haven't tried it, bc I can use broccoli sprouts, lentil sprouts, or whatever.

Well, if you like it, and it works for you, that's what counts!!
