Hence Greens vs AG1 vs Huel vs Verve

The Transparent Comparison the Industry Doesn’t Want You to See

Most greens powders sound impressive — 70+ ingredients, “all-in-one nutrition”, proprietary blends.

But there’s one problem:
If you don’t know the dose, you don’t know the effect.

Hence Greens was built to be the opposite of that model.
No blends.
No smoke and mirrors.
No fairy-dust dosing.

Just 12 clinically dosed, fully transparent ingredients, chosen for outcomes you can feel:
Energy. Focus. Stress resilience. Recovery. Immunity.
