Greens capsules are a convenient way to add chlorophyll-rich plants, algae, and adaptogenic roots to a busy day. This article walks through the featured ingredients in CHF #28 Greens 120 Capsules—Country Health’s 1-gram greens proprietary blend—and what NIH and NCCIH sources report about several of its standouts.
Full ingredient list (per 2-capsule serving): Proprietary blend 1 g of bee pollen, spinach leaf, cabbage leaf, chlorella, eleuthero root, asparagus tuber, broccoli tops, kale leaf, parsley leaf, buckthorn bark, fo-ti root, Asian ginseng root, saw palmetto berry, papaya fruit, West Indian lemongrass tops, peppermint leaf, spearmint leaf, American ginseng root, and a trace mineral blend. Other ingredients: gelatin (capsule), magnesium silicate, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide. Suggested use: two capsules between meals daily, or as directed.
Why do chlorella and leafy greens matter in a greens formula?
Chlorella is a single-celled green algae often included in greens blends for its chlorophyll and micronutrient density. CHF #28 pairs chlorella with everyday cruciferous and leafy vegetables—spinach, cabbage, broccoli, and kale—plus parsley. NIH ODS notes that dark leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables contribute vitamin C, carotenoids, and other nutrients that support antioxidant defenses and normal cell function when eaten as part of a varied diet. Capsules do not replace plates of produce, but they offer a concentrated plant-ingredient approach for adults who want Country Health’s greens blend between meals.
What do Asian ginseng and eleuthero add?
NCCIH explains that Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) has a long traditional use as an adaptogen—herbs thought to help the body respond to everyday stress. A 2023 review summarized by NCCIH suggests Asian ginseng alone may have a small beneficial effect on general fatigue (not disease-related fatigue) in some studies, though not all research agrees. Short-term oral use in recommended amounts appears safe for most adults; insomnia is the most commonly reported side effect, and people who are pregnant, have diabetes, or take medications should check with a clinician first.
Eleuthero (often called Siberian ginseng) appears alongside Asian and American ginseng roots in the same 1 g blend, reflecting Country Health’s multi-ginseng tonic style rather than a single-herb ginseng capsule.
How do bee pollen, mint, and traditional companions fit?
Bee pollen sits at the top of the proprietary blend and contributes hive-derived amino acids, vitamins, and phytonutrients historically used in tonic formulas. Peppermint and spearmint leaves, lemongrass, papaya fruit, asparagus tuber, fo-ti, and saw palmetto berry round out the botanical profile. Trace minerals close the blend. Together these companions support the “greens plus adaptogen” design rather than acting as standalone high-dose herbs.
How do these ingredients work together?
CHF #28 centers a full gram of greens, algae, bee pollen, and ginseng-family roots in two capsules. The 120-capsule bottle is built for adults seeking chlorophyll-minded daily nutrition with Country Health’s classic multi-ingredient approach.
Who might enjoy it: adults who want a greens capsule rather than a powder scoop, people who prefer chlorella with spinach–broccoli–kale companions, and anyone whose clinician agrees a ginseng-inclusive greens blend fits their routine.
Who should check with a clinician first?
Please check with your clinician first if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding (NCCIH notes questions about Asian ginseng safety in pregnancy).
- Have or develop diarrhea, loose stools, or abdominal pain—this formula contains buckthorn bark, which may worsen those symptoms.
- Have diabetes or take blood-sugar or blood-thinning medicines (ginseng may interact).
- Have a pollen or bee-product allergy.
- Already use other high-dose ginseng, stimulant, or laxative herbal products.
