Once opened, store Green Vibrance in your freezer for maximum potency and preservation of the Probiotics & Enzymes.
At the time of production – all O2 is removed from the tub as it is sealed (and with Oxygen absorbency packets placed inside for added protection) and then it is sealed of all light. This is why it is placed into a thick Solid White Tub – so no light can penetrate into the product. As you open the seal – light and Oxygen activates “wakes up” the Probiotics and Enzymes. The cold of the Freezer (best) or fridge puts them into a dormant state again, and keeps your product perfectly fresh.
Sadly – this is not a good idea. As this is a dry powder – it does not freeze solid, and it returns to a higher active temperature very fast. This activates the Pre-biotics, Probiotics (which feed off the Pre-biotics) and the Digestive Enzymes (which feed off all the wonderful plant nutrients in the tub). Rather buy a box of travel sachets – made for exactly this purpose. They do not need to be kept cold or in the freezer at all – and are in a triple foil packet to protect them from all security scanners and airport x-rays.
As a Health Practitioner – Ange and we at Natural Vibrance feel very strongly that it is far more important to heal your Digestive Tract and rebalance your Probiotic levels in your gut than to try to follow a “fad” diet. The fact that you may be suffering from IBS or any other gut issue – can mostly be attributed to a lack of a healthy microbiome in the gut. Fix that – and most of your issues will start to resolve themselves. The FODMAP Diet or any other “fad” diet – will simply help temporally alleviate your symptoms – only to have them return if you eat any of the HIGHLY NUTRITIOUS FOODS ON THE “NAUGHTY LIST”.
Feel free to contact Natural Vibrance if you have any further questions or we can be of help.
Yes – this is totally normal and a good sign initially. It is also normal to experience a light headache from the detoxing effects. We recommend that you drink plenty of water – especially initially to help flush the toxins from your body as fast as possible. Should you NOT experience a looser stool – it may be a sign that your Kidneys & Liver are very congested and toxic. The Liver & Kidney Detox Tea was designed to help clear this vital detox pathway and stimulate the body’s natural cleansing mechanism.
Yes. Green Vibrance may be taken one or two times per day, but it is recommended to start off slowly as it is designed to detox the entire body system as well.
Many women have inquired about taking Green Vibrance during pregnancy and lactation. While many have chosen to use Green Vibrance during these times, it’s important to note that individual reactions to supplements can vary. Green Vibrance aims to support nutrition and digestion, can increase circulation, energy and supply Mother and baby with all the essential trace nutrients. Green Vibrance contains a high amount of FOLATE – the natural form of Folic Acid (a chemical – and not recommended other than by Dr’s who lack true nutritional knowledge). If you’re considering taking Green Vibrance or any supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, please consult with your healthcare provider to ensure it’s the right choice for you.
Yes – totally, but the dosage needs to be adjusted depending on their age. We have plenty of “Green vibrance babies” – who simply eat it like sherbet, thanks to their Mommies who took it during pregnancy and brought healthy babies into this world used to eating natural healing superfoods.
Please enquire about appropriate dosages from us.
Yes. There are two desiccant packets in each container of Green Vibrance. One is a moisture absorbing packet the other an oxygen absorbing packet. Removing moisture and air from the container helps to keep it fresh. However, once opened you should store Green Vibrance in your Refrigerator or Freezer (best), and use within the month or time – depending on the tub size.

Yes – you can still use it, but it does depend on the length of time it was out of the Freezer or kept in the cupboard once opened. It is made from Organic fresh raw ingredients – and these will “spoil” and lose their nutritional benefits – just like any fresh food, as well as the Pro-biotics and Enzymes will die-off.
If you are truly unsure – please contact Natural Vibrance directly, or sadly simply feed this beautiful product to your favourite plants – mixed in a ratio of 1 to 10 (water), and watch them grow like magic!
Green Vibrance contains every nutrient known to man. However, depending on your diet, additional supplements may prove to be complementary. For example, if you are not getting enough protein, Maximum Vibrance would be an option as it contains a perfect blend of 20g of Plant Protein, Green Vibrance and Spectrum Vibrance.
Yes, and yes! Green Vibrance can help alkalinise your cells and provide vital nutrition to each cell for healthy new cells to be reproduced. Studies have shown that Cancer cells have a hard time living in an alkaline system. Green Vibrance is also designed to help boost one’s Immunity. A robust Immune system aids in fighting Cancer Cells, and helps boost your energy and recovery.
Yes. Many Customers undergoing Chemotherapy have suggested that they felt better during Chemo while taking Green Vibrance, and they certainly regained their strength and health far faster than normally expected. We however do NOT recommend taking it 3 days prior or 3 days post any treatment – as it may have a detoxing effect on the Chemicals and Heavy Metals used in the Chemo or Radiation.
Green Vibrance is a food and therefore is not standardized like most supplements. Depending on weather conditions and/or when or where the crops are harvested could vary the colour and taste.
Yes. Green Vibrance is totally free from all common allergens.
Yes – the past few Versions are fully Vegan because the Vitamin D3 comes from lichen and the Probiotics are no longer grown in a lactobacillus culture.
Lichen – is a new plant based Vitamin D3 that is wild harvested from Lichen growing on rocks, trees and other forest locations.
Yes, you can replace 1 or 2 meals with Green Vibrance. However, to feel fuller we suggest taking Maximum Vibrance as it contains 20g of Pure Plant Protein as well as Green Vibrance and Spectrum Vibrance. It is a perfectly balanced Superfood Meal replacement. Add two scoops of Maximum Vibrance with vanilla flavoured or unflavoured almond or oat milk. Yum!
No, Green Vibrance earlier Versions contained Lecithin from Soy. However, there was never any detectible Soy Compounds found in Green Vibrance. Today, Green Vibrance contains NO SOY at all.
NO! Heating the product will destroy the Probiotics and Digestive Enzymes. Green Vibrance is an undiluted, Comprehensive, Restorative, Live Super food. Please do not heat it OR cook with it!. Blend it into a smoothie or mix it with your favourite juice or water and drink it with your meal or straight after.
The absolute best time is about half an hour after a light breakfast. Many consumers will use Green Vibrance in a smoothie for breakfast, which is fine. The most important thing is TO TAKE Green Vibrance daily when it’s most convenient for you to do so routinely. It is NOT recommended to take after about 5 pm – as the high nutrient density of the product will activate the cells – energizing them, and could keep you awake!
It is the grain that contains Gluten, not the young grass. Our Wheat Grass is harvested before the jointing stage. The jointing stage is that point at which the internodal tissue in the grass leaf begins to elongate, forming a stem. This stage represents the peak of the cereal plants vegetative development; factors involved in photosynthesis and plant metabolism would be expected to increase up to this stage. At this stage the grass has yet to sprout. Sprouting begins the process of grain creation. Since we use the young grass that is harvested before the Jointing Stage there is no grain and subsequently no gluten.
There is a small amount – 4/10ths of a milligram from the decaffeinated green tea – purely providing you with L-Theanine to lessen Stress & Anxiety.
We think this is a great idea – and depending on the needs of the person receiving this, we highly recommend the Maximum Vibrance as it contains 20g of Pure Plant Protein as well as Green Vibrance and Spectrum Vibrance. It is a perfectly balanced Superfood Meal replacement.
However, you should always first check with your medical professional or doctor.
Yes. Green Vibrance is foundational, so adding other supplements as adjuncts is a best practice that has been employed by many over the past 20 plus years. Since the products introduction into the Natural Products Industry consumers have taken fish oils and other supplements along with Green Vibrance. Others have looked to Green Vibrance to replace a myriad of Supplements.
It is however not necessary – unless you have specific health issues you are trying to heal that are needing additional focus. Remember – Green Vibrance is fully balanced and designed to feed each and every living cell in your body, but it cannot account for severe shortfalls in every circumstance. It is therefore best to contact us or to speak with your health practitioner.
Yes – absolutely. Over the past 30 years consumers have shared stories of how their pets LOVE the Green Vibrance, and it helped with so many ailments. Animals instinctively know when they need a certain nutrient – and they will find a way to get it. As a result of all the wonderful feedback – Vibrant Health introduced a Pet Range (with natural beef liver) a few years ago, but sadly – we can no longer import that at present.
It is safe to take Green Vibrance during pregnancy and lactation. Many women have used Green Vibrance throughout their pregnancies to great benefit for themselves and the foetus. Green Vibrance delivers essential trace nutrition that benefits both mother and child while improving digestion so that nutrient intake can be maximized. Other ingredients including ginkgo biloba help improve circulation thereby enhancing nutrient delivery to all cells and, of course, to the placenta. The potential dangers of ginkgo biloba alluded to on the web are related to two factors: 1.) Dosage (as you surmised), and 2) vascular integrity. Dosages of hundreds of milligrams per day of ginkgo extract would be unwise for anyone without first paying close attention to overall cardiovascular health. Blood vessels can be prone to leakage IF nutrition is poor. If vitamin C, zinc, calcium, polyphenols, and, to a lesser degree, vitamin D, vitamin K and boron are undersupplied in the diet, collagen synthesis suffers, and blood can leak through capillary walls at frightening rates. The medical community fears ginkgo, because it can thin blood, and improve circulation. Thinner blood will be more prone to seeping rapidly through capillary walls if vascular integrity is poor.
Much of allopathic physicians fear is unfortunately founded on ignorance. They cannot know everything, of course, and the nuances of herbal substances remain unknown to most of them. They are unaware that ginkgo biloba also contains a range of polyphenols that actually improve vascular integrity. So the concern that ginkgo, in conservative doses, may lead to excessive bleeding is overrated, especially in healthy individuals. [However, it is certainly not recommended to give ginkgo to a patient suffering with scurvy. In such a case, vascular integrity has deteriorated to such a point that other nutrients (e.g. vitamin C, zinc, calcium, vitamin D) are needed first to restore firm collagen bonds among the cells of vascular tissue before any blood thinning agent can be given.]
In Green Vibrance, ginkgo biloba is present at a dosage that will not lead to capillary leakage, but will enhance circulation. It is safe to make this statement because the ginkgo is also paired with grape seed extract, milk thistle extract, green tea extract, and Acerola berry extract. All of these botanical extracts supply vitamin C and polyphenols that will enhance vascular integrity. Other nutrients that help build and sustain vascular integrity can be found throughout Green Vibrance (i.e. calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K and boron.) Green Vibrance is balanced, and thoughtfully formulated. It has contributed to the birth of many strong, healthy babies since it first appeared in 1992.
Our Super Natural Boron is a patented calcium fructo-borate that Vibrant Health obtains from Van Drunen Farms. Human clinical trials verify its high bioavailability. The material is synthesized by replicating the forms of boron found in fruit where boron is bound to calcium and fruit sugars
The answer to that depends on the degree of joint damage present at the start of your Joint Vibrance regimen. If you still have any discomfort in your knees, hip or shoulder, I would recommend continuing Joint Vibrance at a full scoop each day. At some point in time, you will notice either that your joints either no longer bother you at all, or there appears to be no further improvement to be hoped for.
If you have reached a stage where the joints are pain free, with good mobility, or where no further improvement is to be had, I recommend switching to a maintenance program where you do not take Joint Vibrance for about 8 weeks, and then take it again on a daily basis for about a month. This alternating schedule will allow you to maintain previous gains, and repair any wear and tear that occurs during the periods “off” Joint Vibrance.
No, separate functions of Joint Vibrance and of Methotrexate do not conflict. Methotrexate interferes with cell replication, and can inhibit several enzymes, resulting in immune suppression of T-cell function. Joint Vibrance is designed to stimulate and support the synthesis of collagen and cartilage. The process does not call for the growth of new cells, but only demands that the cells (Chondorcytes) already present inside the cartilage do their job of manufacturing the components of new cartilage.
Arthred is manufactured in Germany from the hides of German cattle. The animals are not necessarily organically grown, but Germany and the EU have strict regulations governing the health and biochemical cleanliness of livestock. Use of growth hormones and the sale of hormone treated beef are banned within the EU, and twenty years ago, Europe banned the importation of animals treated with growth hormones. Even so, the process of extracting the collagen from hides, after which the hydrolysis of collagen to gelatin and then to Arthred removes any impurities or contaminants, including BSE. Arthred is thus pharmaceutically pure free amino acids, di and tri-peptides from collagen.
Teenagers’ metabolism is at its lifetime peak, building most tissues at a fearsome rate. Calcium is needed at high levels. Depending on the quality of the diet, 1,000 to 2,000 mg of calcium should support growth well. However, soft drink consumption (especially those containing phosphoric acid), processed foods, snack items and other less-than-wholesome foods that often invade a youth’s diet, can compromise the dietary calcium contribution and utilization.
Dietary habits play such an important role in calcium bioavailability and utilization that it is impossible to accurately predict what intake of calcium will work best for any given person without knowing their customary eating habits and lifestyle choices. Nevertheless, most experts claim that 1,000 to 1,200 mg calcium is adequate for adults, and 1,500 to 2,000 mg for pregnant and lactating women. For the latter, Super Natural Calcium (hydrilla verticillata) is certainly safe for use during pregnancy. We recommend using it in combination with Phyto-Boron and Green Vibrance.
We like high-magnesium Dunaliella salina algae, Mg taurate, Mg 2-AEP, Mg orotate, and Mg diglycinate, as well as Mg aspartate. These seem to be highly bioavailable and lowest in laxative effect. Magnesium oxide is the worst, with low to zero bioavailability, and a tendency to be readily converted to magnesium hydroxide (aka “Milk of Magnesia”) in the intestines.
Low magnesium can lead to muscle cramps, heart arrhythmias, hardening arteries, high blood pressure, and poor calcium utilization. Since it stimulates parathyroid hormone, the hormone that commands osteoclasts to tear down bone, supplemental Mg should be taken from morning to mid afternoon, when the pull of gravity counters parathyroid hormone by calling forth calcitonin, the hormone that stimulates bone building osteoblasts. Then, at night, when parathyroid hormone usually holds sway, take some calcium and vitamin D3 before retiring to reduce parathyroid hormone secretion.
Yes Super Natural Calcium contains 350mg of magnesium glycinate. Daily dosage of Mg should be 80% to 100% of the dosage of calcium, which is the reason it is included in this amount.
We also recommend vitamin D3 at a minimum daily intake of 2,000 i.u. However, current research indicates that if one’s bones are weakening, then 4,000 i.u are needed to restore and maintain appropriate levels of hormonal D (1-25-dihydroxy D3), which is the form of Vitamin D actually involved in placing calcium into bone tissue.
Gram negative and Gram positive refer to the dye stain used in the identification of bacteria. Gram staining is named for Hans Christian Joachim Gram (1853-1938), the Danish bacteriologist who developed the process. Gram gained an international reputation with his development of the method of staining bacteria that later played a major role in classifying bacteria.
The terms “negative” and “positive” carry no connotations of “bad” or “good” and refer only to the fact, which Gram observed, that some bacteria (Gram positive) hold on to the dye, but that alcohol or acetone can be used to wash the dye out of other bacteria (Gram negative). The retention or release of the stain by the bacteria relates to the structure of the bacteria’s cell membrane. Probiotic bacteria appear to be all Gram positive.
A good daily intake of Vitamin D is now considered to be 2,000 i.u. to 4000ius. Some researchers are advising daily intake of 8,000 i.u.
D3 is the ideal form of Vitamin D to take as a supplement. The human body has control mechanisms in place that regulate conversion of D3 to its hormonal form, whereas D2 is foreign to the body, lacks controls, and can actually be too aggressive, causing deposition of calcium into soft tissues such as the arteries and muscles, a side effect not shared with D3
Absorbed calcium plays far less a role in constipation than calcium compounds in transit through the bowels do, and since calcium is required for muscle contraction, absorbed calcium actually normalizes peristaltic action (the waves of muscle contractions that move things through the bowel) thus helping to ensure efficient transit of contents through the intestinal tract. Calcium from a food such as the hydrilla verticillata in Super Natural Calcium is the least constipating of all forms of calcium.
Normal bowel function can be expected from a diet short on grains and refined carbohydrates, but containing plenty of fibre from fruits and vegetables and an adequate supply of probiotics, magnesium and Vitamin C.
The raw materials in Super Natural Calcium (hydrilla verticillate and lithothamnium) have low bulk densities. Encapsulation would result in the need for multiple large capsules in order to provide a meaningful dose. Vibrant Health’s tablets are all made using a minimum of excipients derived exclusively from purely vegetable sources. The Super Natural Calcium tablet is quite a technological achievement, using just 6 mg of vegetable-sourced magnesium stearate as the only excipient other than a plant-derived cellulose coating.
Mark Timon’s answer: This is an easy answer. No! The curcuminoid extract material is not irradiated. Irradiation is a sure-fire way to sterilize a material in order to guard against bacterial and viral contamination. The extraction process itself does that job, however, in the case of botanical extracts.
Vibrant Health, by-the-way, DOES NOT purchase irradiated raw materials, which usually refers to gamma irradiation. I say usually, because a new ultraviolet light irradiation technique is presenting itself, and seems to do no harm to nutrients and bioactive substances in the treated materials. We have not yet bought any UV sterilized materials, and continue to rely on steam sterilized plant materials when needed.
Lecithin, especially in the amount found in Green Vibrance, is perfectly safe to take during pregnancy. It is in the product to provide a source of phospholipids which just happen to be the primary structural component of every cell membrane in the body! Any lecithin that the mother’s body does not consume building and repairing her own cells, may be used to help build cells in the growing foetus. They will also support neurological development while helping keep arteries clear and blood flowing smoothly through the mother’s cardiovascular system, thereby indirectly helping nourish the developing child.
If the fear of lecithin during pregnancy is (erroneously) attached to the false fear that soy lecithin contains phytoestrogens, then, of course, that argument is meaningless given the fact that Green Vibrance contains lecithin from sunflower oil. I would like to do point out, however, that even soy lecithin contains no anti-nutrients and no phytoestrogens due to the high level of processing that must occur in order to extract 98% pure soy phosphatides. The remaining 2% of the material would be moisture and mineral ash. No phytoestrogens.
