DAEMON POWER VIRIDIS greens power – full review
In our quest to get all of our nutrients from drinks instead of food (because we don't really like vegetables), we've been trying a lot of greens powders recently. Some of these greens powders have been excellent, whereas some really haven't been.
What seems to separate the good greens powder from the bad is the breadth of ingredients - it's easy to put some spirulina and greens in a bag and give it a shake, but we want a greens powder with a bit more oomph.
So when we saw the ingredients list of the Daemon Power Ultimate Green Powder, we knew we'd have to buy it and review it. In this review, we'll be looking closely at this product and giving you our honest thoughts. Let's get into it:
Quick summary - We like this greens powder for several reasons; firstly, the care and detail given to the product is clear, the ingredients are comprehesive and sold at a reasonable price. We highly reccommend the Daemon Power greens.
Who are Daemon Power?
Daemon Power is a new brand from the same people that own CBDiablo, a CBD company we've reviewed before.
We like their ethics and the quality of their products speaks for itself, so when they asked us to try their new green powder we were happy to accept.
The brand continues on the theme of mental well-being and also donates 20% of it's profits to CALMzone.
What's in the Daemon Power Ultimate Green Powder?
With a name which includes the word 'ultimate', we'd expect the ingredients list of this greens powder to be impressive. And we'd definitely say that it is.
Firstly, the product contains 24 active ingredients which make up a product that contains vitamins, menerals, adaptogens, nootropics, amino acids and also naturally occuring Omega 3, 6 & 9. The base of greens that we'd expect to find in any good greens powder. This includes chlorella, moringa, wheatgrass, barleygrass, and spirulina.
This means that all the benefits of the green powders (good for gut, bloating, hair, nails, skin, energy, heart, brain etc...).
But what really makes this greens powder 'ultimate' is the mix of other ingredients that the team at Daemon Power has added -a number of potent antioxidents including ginger, blueberry extract and Acerola Cherry (natural source of Vitamin C) and Chicory Inulin Powder ( a prebiotic known for gut health, heath health & weight management).
It contains a healthy dose natural Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2, Lions Mane and green tea extract too.
These additional ingredients bring a ton of additional nutrients with them. You'll actually find these ingredients in pretty high concentration too - for example, each serving of this greens powder contains 500mg of Magnesium.
As well as the above ingredients, the Daemon Power Ulitmate Greens also contains nootropic mushrooms such as Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, and Shiitake. The benefits of these nootropic mushrooms are well documented and we've published guides about them previously here and here.
A few ingredients that make this product a good AG1 alternative are COQ10 and L-Glutathione. There are few other green powders that include these ingredients.
What does the Daemon Power Ultimate Greens Powder taste like?
The blueberry extract provides a nice dose of antioxidants in each serving, but also really adds to the taste - we'd still say that this definitely has the grassy taste of a greens powder, but it's also got a slight sweetness which really reminds us of liquorice.
The powder is unsweetened which means in total a 10g serving only contains 0.4g of sugar, compared to a huge 1.8g of sugar in Free Soul Greens.
Third-party reviews
However, Daemon Power does have a Trustpilot (which is shared with the other brand that this team owns, CBDiablo, who we listed in our guide to the best CBD gummies we've tried). Impressively, the brand is sitting with an 'Excellent' rating form over 1000 reviews on Trustpilot.
Secondly, the judges at the Wellness from within Awards shortlisted the product. We're glad to see we're not the only ones who love green powders.
Price
We bought this 250g bag for around £50, which might seem like a lot compared to some of the other greens powders we've reviewed such as the Aduna Super Greens, but actually when you consider how many ingredients are crammed into the Daemon Power Ultimate Greens, it's actually very reasonably priced. Two alternatives are AG1 at nearly £100 (single purchase) and Verve80 (£70).
We counted 24 different ingredients in this greens powder, all of which provide nutrients (this greens powder contains no filler). The Aduna Super Greens powder contains 12 ingredients and is just over half the price, so when you consider that you can see that this greens powder from Daemon Power is actually good value.
However, we do understand that many people want to a more straightforward greens powder, so for those people this might be a little too expensive. If you want something simpler and much less expensive, the Naturya Green Superblend is a good option.
Final thoughts - Is this the best green powder in the UK?
Overall we'd say that if you want a greens powder which is much more than just spirulina and wheatgrass, the Daemon Power Ultimate Green Powder is an excellent choice. It's packed with nootropics and adaptogens which provide you with a ton of benefits. It might be a little expensive for people who just want a simple greens powder, but we're certainly impressed by it.
