Why You Should Trust Our Reviews
- EXPERT REVIEW PANEL
Our review panel is made up of individuals with many years of experience in the sports nutrition industry, dating back to the early 2000’s. Their tenure gives them knowledge on brands, supplements, ingredients, dosages and more. - FULL CONTAINER REVIEWS
Unlike the majority of “review” sites on the internet, Fitness Informant reviews every supplement on a full-container basis. What does this mean? It means that a review is not written or recorded until the last serving of that product has been finished. We’ve all had products that were great for the first couple of days, but then lost their effectiveness shortly after. We want to ensure you are getting a full review based on a full product. - INGREDIENT EDUCATION
We breakdown each ingredient in our reviews to educate you on exactly what the ingredients do, and what is the proper dosage of each ingredient to effectively do what they are intended to do. - 100% HONEST – NO B.S. REVIEWS
Our number #1 priority is to inform you proper supplement selection through honest reviews. The majority of “review” sites on the internet will push you to buy a certain product based on the commissions they received. Not us. We want you to purchase the highest quality supplements at the best value. We put your health and wellness first. To achieve your goals we want you to use only the best supplements that you can afford. We do this by being honest.

Testing Results and Ratings
We reviewed Alpha Lion Superhuman Greens on five categories. We first start by looking at its ingredient profile. This portion of the review looks at the different ingredients used in the greens supplement, what their intention is and how effectively dosed are each ingredient.
We then look at effectiveness. An effective pre-workout product will use high quality, proven ingredients, at clinically backed dosages. This is generally an extension of the profile section. The higher quality ingredients used at proper dosages, the more effective that greens product will be.
Then we move into the taste of the different flavors we’ve tried. We grade each flavor separately and average the scores for their overall taste rating. We were able to test out the following flavors: WODermelon
Mixability refers to how well the powder mixes in 6-8oz of water. We use the shaker bottle test. We use the Official Shaker Cup of Fitness Informant, the Ice Shaker.
Finally, we talk about value. Value is the combination of profile, effectiveness, taste and mixability in relation to cost. Another part of value are the competitors and other versions of pre-workout products on the market.
Ingredients Profile
We will break this down into each blend and go over them. We have to call out right from the start, that the blends are not transparent and we have no way of knowing the dosages of ma ny of the ingredients.
Superhuman Grass and Greens Blend (6g)
Alpha Lion starts us off with a blend with ingredients you’d expect in a greens product. It starts us off with a blend of Wheat Grass, Barley Grass, and Alfalfa Grass. Really these are pretty much standard in greens products, and no surprise to see in them. While there is some debate as to how effective these ingredients are, they certainly don’t hurt. What’s nice to see in here is the Spirulina and Chlorella. These are algae and are great sources of Chlorophyll, which may help with ridding your body of heavy metals according to animal studies.
Superhuman Carotenoid-Rich Vegetable Blend (2g)
This blend is interesting, as it actually looks like a digestive support. Aloe is commonly used for digestive issues, and so are peppermint and spearmint. Either way, it’s nice to see these ingredients in here.
Superhuman Fruit and Vegetable Blend (1g)
This is a 1g blend of various different fruits and vegetables. Of course, while this blend will certainly provide some nutrients/antioxidants that you would want out of this, there is no way of telling how much of each is in here. There are certainly some great ingredients in Superhuman Greens. The first ingredient is Beet Root, which is a natural source of nitrates, thus making it good for blood pressure. However with over a dozen ingredients in here at a gram, we can’t say for certain that anything is dosed well enough, and most likely they are not.
Superhuman Sprouts and Sea-Vegetable Blend (500mg)
This blend has some interesting ingredients, such as amaranth. Amaranth is a good source of Magnesium, however that is if you eat a cups worth. This blend also provides Kelp, which is a natural source of Iodine. At 500mg, there is little chance that anything in here is dosed well.
Superhuman Cruciferous Vegetable Blend (500mg)
This 500mg blend provides Kale, Broccoli, Cabbage, and Celery. These are great vegetables on their own, however we are not sure if there is enough in here to provide any noticeable benefit.
Superhuman Enzyme Blend (180mg)
Pretty standard, this is a blend of enzymes which will aid in digestion. Honestly it’s no surprise to see this in here, and we like it.
Superhuman Probiotic Blend (500mg)
Probiotics have been one the rise in recent years, and many debate their effectiveness. While a healthy diet is a surefire way to make sure your gut flora are healthy, it does not hurt to supplement with them. You get 4 Billion CFUs in here, which is a decent amount, provided they are still alive in the powder.
Superhuman Absorption Blend (50mg)
The final blend is basically just AstraGin™. This ingredient may aid in absorption and it’s dosed well in here.
Overall, the formula is on par with many other greens products on the market. A huge blend of everything you can think of, with some good ingredients, but still with very little transparency on doses. With that said, it certainly won’t hurt to add this into your supplement regimen, and there isn’t anything wrong with adding a nice heaping blend of various greens/fruits/etc to your diet.
Effectiveness
Despite the criticisms that we had over the profile, Superhuman Greens does deliver on effectiveness. Now you may wonder how you can tell if a Greens is working, and we’d be right there with you.
One way to go about it is how regular you are, and how good your digestion is. Several of us used Superhuman Greens here on FI, and we all agreed that our movements and digestion were optimal. Of course, those are some of the only things we can go by. Other than that, we kind of have to go by the profile and how it compares to other products on the market.
Taste
Anabolic Apple:
This is something that Alpha Lion does well. Even with a Greens formula, they are able to make it taste good, at least as good as a greens product can taste. We had the Anabolic Apple and it was one of the better greens flavors we’ve had. While of course you can’t expect candy, most of you will prefer this over a non-flavored greens.
Mixability
Honestly this is hard to rate, as greens tend to always have a lot of grit to them. There is little you can do to get around that. With that said, it mixes as good as any Greens product out there. You can expect some residue or stuff on the sides of your shaker, but nothing horrible and with enough swishing, you should be able to get around it.
We used the Official Shaker Cup of Fitness Informant, The Ice Shaker.
Check out the video above for a full mixability test.
