Daily Greens
Daily Greens looks solid; one or two ingredients could be dosed higher to be a standout.
Ingredients by dose
What's actually in it, ranked by how well it's dosed against research thresholds.
What it does
Evidenced benefit intensity, derived from dosed ingredients — not label claims.
The receipt
Every point of this grade, traced to the ingredient, its dose, and the evidence.
Vitamin A (Retinol / Beta-Carotene) at 925 mcg — clinical dose
At or above the ~900 mcg where the research is strongest. NIH ODS: 700-900 mcg RAE/day meets requirement for vision and immune function; benefit only if low. UL 3000 mcg (preformed) — preformed retinol is teratogenic in excess.
Vitamin C at 425 mg — effective dose
Meets the ~200 mg effective threshold. NIH ODS/meta-analyses: 200-1000 mg/day saturates plasma and modestly shortens common-cold duration; antioxidant. UL 2000 mg.
Vitamin D3 present — dose hidden in a proprietary blend
A recognized ingredient, but the label doesn't disclose its individual dose, so we can't confirm it reaches the effective ~1000 IU.
Vitamin E at 21 mg — effective dose
Meets the ~15 mg effective threshold. NIH ODS: 15 mg meets requirement; antioxidant. High-dose supplementation shows no clear benefit and may carry risk. UL 1000 mg.
Vitamin B6 (P5P) at 3.1 mg — effective dose
Meets the ~1.3 mg effective threshold. NIH ODS: RDA 1.3-1.7 mg/day supports amino-acid and neurotransmitter metabolism; benefit beyond requirement only if deficient. The old US UL of 100 mg is outdated — EFSA lowered the upper limit to 12 mg/day (2023) and multiple regulators (TGA, Medsafe, NPRA) issued 2025-2026 alerts after peripheral-neuropathy cases at doses well under 50 mg, occasionally under 12 mg in sensitive people. Keep total B6 from all supplements low and time-limited.
Folate (Methylfolate) at 703 mcg — effective dose
Meets the ~400 mcg effective threshold. NIH ODS: 400-800 mcg DFE/day supports red-blood-cell formation and is essential preconception/pregnancy. UL 1000 mcg (folic acid).
Vitamin B12 at 5.6 mcg — underdosed
Below the ~500 mcg effective dose, so the labeled benefit is unlikely at this amount.
Calcium at 130 mg — underdosed
Below the ~500 mg effective dose, so the labeled benefit is unlikely at this amount.
Iron at 5.5 mg — underdosed
Below the ~8 mg effective dose, so the labeled benefit is unlikely at this amount.
Iodine at 44 mcg — underdosed
Below the ~150 mcg effective dose, so the labeled benefit is unlikely at this amount.
Magnesium Glycinate at 43 mg — underdosed
Below the ~200 mg effective dose, so the labeled benefit is unlikely at this amount.
Zinc at 16 mg — effective dose
Meets the ~15 mg effective threshold. Meta-analyses: 15-30 mg/day supports immune function; lozenges may shorten cold duration. UL 40 mg; pair with copper if used long-term.
Selenium at 28 mcg — underdosed
Below the ~55 mcg effective dose, so the labeled benefit is unlikely at this amount.
Chlorella present — dose hidden in a proprietary blend
A recognized ingredient, but the label doesn't disclose its individual dose, so we can't confirm it reaches the effective ~1 g.
Spirulina present — dose hidden in a proprietary blend
A recognized ingredient, but the label doesn't disclose its individual dose, so we can't confirm it reaches the effective ~1 g.
Tart Cherry present — dose hidden in a proprietary blend
A recognized ingredient, but the label doesn't disclose its individual dose, so we can't confirm it reaches the effective ~400 mg.
Ashwagandha (KSM-66 / Sensoril) at 66 mg — underdosed
Below the ~300 mg effective dose, so the labeled benefit is unlikely at this amount.
Pros & cons
The honest tradeoffs.
- Vitamin A (Retinol / Beta-Carotene) at a clinical, research-backed dose (925 mcg)
- Vitamin C dosed to the effective threshold (425 mg)
- Vitamin E dosed to the effective threshold (21 mg)
- Vitamin B6 (P5P) dosed to the effective threshold (3.1 mg)
- Folate (Methylfolate) dosed to the effective threshold (703 mcg)
- Zinc dosed to the effective threshold (16 mg)
- Vitamin D3's dose is hidden in a proprietary blend — can't confirm it's effective
- Vitamin B12 appears underdosed (5.6 mcg) — labeled benefit unlikely
- Calcium appears underdosed (130 mg) — labeled benefit unlikely
- Iron appears underdosed (5.5 mg) — labeled benefit unlikely
- Iodine appears underdosed (44 mcg) — labeled benefit unlikely
- Magnesium Glycinate appears underdosed (43 mg) — labeled benefit unlikely
