A Solopreneur’s Guide to Choosing Supergreens That Actually Work
You’re building an empire from your laptop. Client calls at 7 AM, content deadlines at midnight, and somewhere in between you’re grabbing whatever food is fastest. You know you should eat more vegetables, so you bought that green powder everyone’s raving about. But three weeks in, you still feel foggy, tired, and wondering if any of this “wellness stuff” actually works.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: most green supplements are packed with synthetic additives, processed at temperatures that destroy nutrients, and manufactured from ingredients you’d never recognize as food. The promise is simple – boost your energy, support your health – but the delivery often falls short.
If you’ve been struggling with brain fog that’s killing your productivity, the problem might not be what you’re taking – it might be what’s in what you’re taking.
The Dirty Secret About “Health” Supplements
Walk into any health store and you’ll find shelves packed with green powders and superfood capsules. The labels promise organic ingredients, immune support, and boundless energy. But flip to the ingredient list and you’ll often find something very different from what nature intended.
Most greens supplements use synthetic vitamins manufactured in industrial facilities overseas. These aren’t extracted from spinach and broccoli; they’re created through chemical processes using petroleum derivatives, solvents, and high-heat treatment that destroys the very nutrients you’re paying for.
Your body recognizes these synthetic compounds as foreign substances, not nutrition. Instead of nourishing your cells and clearing your entrepreneurial brain fog, your system works overtime trying to eliminate them. Think of it this way: you wouldn’t pour tap water full of chemicals into a coffee machine and expect a great brew. Your body works the same way – put junk in, and the output suffers.
Why Most Modern Produce Is Nutritionally Bankrupt
Even if you’re committed to eating your vegetables, there’s a problem you can’t control: modern produce isn’t what it used to be. Industrial farming has stripped soil of essential minerals. Crops grow faster but absorb dramatically fewer nutrients.
The apple you ate today contains a fraction of the vitamins and minerals your grandparents got from the same fruit decades ago. Those vibrant vegetables in your grocery cart? They’re nutritionally hollow compared to what previous generations consumed.
This is precisely why supplementation has become necessary for solopreneurs who need sustained mental performance. But supplementing with synthetic, low-quality products only adds to the problem rather than solving it.
The Manufacturing Problem Nobody Talks About
Here’s something the supplement industry doesn’t advertise: the majority of vitamin production happens overseas in facilities with questionable quality control. The last major vitamin C manufacturing plant in the United States closed years ago. Today, most supplements come from facilities where contamination issues surface repeatedly.
Heavy metal contamination, bacterial issues, and synthetic processing using industrial solvents are more common than most consumers realize. As someone building a business, you understand supply chain integrity matters. The supplement industry often fails this basic test.
Those bargain-basement greens powders at big box stores? They’re cheap because they’re made from cheap ingredients processed in the cheapest possible way. Manufacturing genuinely clean, organic supplements costs significantly more.
What Actually Works: Real Food, Real Nutrients
After years of experiencing the same brain fog and energy crashes that plague most entrepreneurs, I discovered what actually makes a difference: whole-food nutrition processed correctly.
The key is finding supplements made from actual organic plants – real broccoli, real spinach, real barley grass – processed at low temperatures that preserve living enzymes and natural nutrient structures. Not chemical isolates manufactured in laboratories, but complete nutrition extracted from the earth.
This is why I now recommend Touchstone Essentials’ Supergreens +D as part of what I call “Pillar 2: The Daily Green Ritual” in my Good Juju Trinity system for clearing brain fog and maintaining entrepreneurial stamina.
Why Supergreens +D Is Different
Unlike most greens supplements that rely on synthetic vitamins and harsh processing, Supergreens +D contains 44 organic superfoods processed using cold-extraction methods that preserve natural enzymes and nutrient integrity.
Here’s what you’re actually getting:
Plant-based digestive enzymes: Your body can actually absorb and use these nutrients instead of struggling to process synthetic compounds.
Certified organic ingredients: Real broccoli, spinach, and barley grass—not chemical approximations of these foods.
5 billion probiotics per serving: Supporting gut health, which directly impacts mental clarity and energy levels.
No synthetic fillers, no chemical isolates: Just concentrated whole foods in their most bioavailable form.
2,000 IUs of vitamin D from organic mushrooms: Not irradiated sheep’s wool like most vitamin D supplements, but a natural plant source that your body recognizes.
The Convenience Factor for Traveling Solopreneurs
Many people start with Super Green Juice – the powder form that you mix into water or smoothies. It’s excellent when you’re working from home or have access to a blender. But what about when you’re traveling to meet clients, attending conferences, or working from coffee shops across the city?
This is where Supergreens +D capsules become essential. Three capsules deliver the same concentrated nutrition without requiring a shaker bottle, water, or blender. Throw the bottle in your laptop bag, take them with your morning coffee, and you’ve got your green nutrition covered regardless of where your business takes you.
Many solopreneurs swap between the juice and capsules depending on their schedule. Home office days? The powder works great. Airport security and client meetings? The capsules are the obvious choice. Same high-quality nutrition, different delivery methods for different situations.
What to Look for in Any Green Supplement
Whether you choose Supergreens +D or explore other options, here’s what separates genuine nutrition from expensive green-colored sawdust:
Check the Source
Ingredient lists should name actual foods—”organic spinach,” “organic broccoli,” “barley grass” – not chemical compounds like “ascorbic acid” or “cyanocobalamin.” If you can’t picture the ingredient growing in a garden, that’s a red flag.
Verify Processing Methods
Cold-processing preserves enzymes and nutrients. High-heat processing destroys them. If the company won’t tell you how they process their supplements, assume the worst.
Look for Organic Certification
USDA organic certification means the ingredients were grown without synthetic pesticides and aren’t genetically modified. It’s not perfect, but it’s a baseline standard that matters.
Consider Bioavailability Enhancers
Digestive enzymes and probiotics help your body actually use what you’re consuming. Without these, even good ingredients might pass through without delivering benefits.
The Real Cost of Cheap Supplements
Quality whole-food supplements cost more than synthetic versions. Supergreens +D, for example, costs more than the bargain greens powder at discount stores. But this isn’t optional expense—it’s business infrastructure.
Think about your other business investments. You don’t buy the cheapest laptop and wonder why it crashes. You don’t use free software full of bugs and expect professional results. Your body is your primary business asset. The clarity and energy you maintain directly impacts your income.
Cheap supplements are expensive when measured against lost productivity, persistent brain fog, and the energy crashes that derail your most important work. Pay for quality now, or pay with diminished performance later.
My Personal Green Ritual
I take my daily greens mid-morning, usually around 10 AM when most entrepreneurs hit their first energy dip. It’s not a replacement for food—I still eat real meals—but it fills the nutritional gaps that modern life creates.
Combined with proper detoxification (Pillar 1 in my system) and cellular mineralization (Pillar 3), this simple daily habit has transformed how I work. No more afternoon crashes. No more staring at my screen wondering why I can’t form coherent thoughts. Just sustained mental clarity throughout my workday.

The Bottom Line for Busy Entrepreneurs
Your business runs on your mental performance. When you’re foggy, distracted, or exhausted, everything suffers – client work, creative thinking, decision-making, revenue growth.
Supplementation has become necessary given depleted soil quality, demanding entrepreneurial schedules, and the reality that none of us eat perfectly every day. But taking synthetic vitamins manufactured from petroleum derivatives and processed with harsh chemicals isn’t the solution.
Choose whole-food-based supplements from companies that transparently share their sourcing and processing methods. Investigate what you’re putting in your body with the same rigor you apply to business decisions. Yes, quality costs more. But you’re not buying supplements—you’re investing in sustained mental performance that keeps your business profitable.
Supergreens +D is available through my Good Juju wellness store. Whether you choose the capsules for travel convenience or the powder form for home use, you’re getting the same high-quality organic nutrition that actually works.
Your hustle matters, but it means nothing if you burn out from cutting corners on the foundations that make performance possible. Make the smarter choice.
