Not A Fan
I’m not confident in the legitimacy of the company that makes this product. It’s a little sketchy that the QR codes on the package either lead to a dead page (404 error) or the one that goes to their website it just a single splash page with a 8 bullet list of marketing points. So much for that “Free User Guide” they promote, or the “Get your next bottle free!” Promotion. I tried doing additional research on Gods Greens and came up with very little. I’m hoping they may just have poor marketing, but for any product that I put in my body, I want to know that I can trust the company making the product, and that all of the claims they make are legitimate.<br /><br />What I DO like about this product is that it’s manufactured in an FDA-registered facility, made in the USA, and 3rd party verified. It’s also good that the product contains black pepper, because turmeric studies have proven it’s more effective in conjunction with pepper. However, I’m not sure if they have enough black pepper for the ratio of turmeric. The youtheory brand I’ve been using for the past year has 10mg of black pepper for every 1,000mg of turmeric. The Gods Greens brand only has 15mg of pepper for every 2,100mg of turmeric.<br /><br />Of the claims on the bottle, one that I’m not too sure about is the bottle’s label states “Certified Organic by Organic Certifiers”. In doing some research, you’ll find that a lot of times organic products slip through the cracks. I tried to contact Gods Greens at the phone number they listed to understand the process of being organic certified, but got an answering machine. Granted, it is a Sunday, but it could be like that all the time. Didn’t help my suspicion with the legitimacy of the company.<br /><br />Lastly, I was excited at the high-volume of turmeric in these (2,250mg) as listed on the front of the bottle, but in flipping over and reading the back - the serving size is THREE capsules!! That was NOT clear in the product description or from looking at the packaging. What I thought at first was a great value of for this product quickly changed when I realized I had to divide that by 3 to get the true cost for “1 serving” of these.<br /><br />In short, I am disappointed by misleading marketing, serving size, and have concerns about the trustworthiness of the company that makes these. I will be going back to purchasing my turmeric supplements from youtheory, and/or keeping my eye open for a different brand (nothing wrong with youtheory, just a little pricey).
