Superfood Powder vs Multivitamin
Superfood powder vs multivitamin is not really a contest: a superfood powder is whole plant foods, dried and milled, while a multivitamin is measured amounts of vitamins and minerals pressed into a tablet.

Greens powder vs multivitamin
Greens powders sit between the two. Some are whole plant foods like ours; others add a vitamin and mineral premix, so they read more like a multivitamin in powder form. Check the ingredient list: if it runs to long chemical names, it has a premix.
Powder vs tablets: the format question
A tablet holds about a gram. Our 7 g serve would be seven or more tablets a day. Powder is the practical format when the serve is measured in grams, and you can adjust it to suit you. Tablets are easier to travel with, and that is the fair case for them.
Which to choose
If you want measured amounts of specific vitamins and minerals, that is what a multivitamin is for. If you want an easy way to add more plant foods to the day, a superfood powder fits. See how to choose a superfood powder.
Questions
Can I take a superfood powder and a multivitamin?
They are different products, and many people use both. If you take other supplements or medicines, ask your doctor or pharmacist what suits you.
Does your powder list vitamin amounts?
No. It has no added vitamins or minerals, so the label gives the standard nutrition panel only, with no vitamin amounts.
