Background Info
The past few years have been extremely difficult for me. I struggled with a lot of life problems, family problems, etc. Within the last year, things really went downhill. I was having a very hard time getting any sleep, I would get a lot of headaches due to stress and environmental factors. To put it simply, I felt horrible, had no energy, no motivation, no drive, nothing. I was tired all the time, would often sleep much of the day away, get up for maybe 8 hours for work, shower, etc. then I'd be back in bed. I had absolutely no energy to do anything and nothing worked.
I was desperate. I was feeling more and more miserable. I hated sleeping so much. I probably even suffered from depression. I knew something had to change but due to my current job/life situation, my options were unfortunately very limited. I even contemplated going to the doctor, thinking something had to be wrong with me. But I couldn't really afford a doctor visit, or the numerous tests I'm sure they'd put me through. Not to mention I absolutely hate being on medication. So I talked with Brandy, to see if It Works! had any products. She spoke to me about the Greens and answered my questions, they sounded very promising! I did a little research about the ingredients. I found this website: http://flatbellywrap.wordpress.com/2013/04/11/it-works-greens-research-and-ingredients/ that broke all the ingredients listed on the packaging down. Indicating what they were, what they are generally used for and their benefits. I even went so far as to double check what this website said with accredited medical journals and reports to confirm. I was a little skeptical, I always am about things like this, but I took the plunge, this was a last ditch effort before heading to the doctor.
Review
I received my first jar had have been taking them for about 3 weeks (I missed a week due to receiving devastating news). At slightly over $1 a day, that wasn't a bad price at all. You can’t buy your suggested daily servings of fruits and veggies for that price. I bought the powder form, to increase my daily water intake which I knew would also help me feel better. I also got the orange flavor, just personal preference.

I mixed up my first bottle Sunday 4/20/14. Very dark green and I did smell some orange, which I didn't smell in the canister. Did not taste orange at all which was very disappointing. Kind had a nutty tea like taste to it, even a slight bitterness, not overpowering at all though. But I read on a number of sites it may taste bitter for awhile until you body gets used to it. I don't drink tea, not a fan, so not my favorite flavor, but I drank it anyway.

By day 2, I felt some of the effects. Things I noticed, it seems to help curb my appetite. I take it after breakfast and while I still snack, I don't seem to be doing it quite as much. I stress eat and I am constantly stressed right now, so a curbed appetite is a good thing. Secondly, I don't feel different but in those 2 days I didn't nap at all. I laid down, mainly out of boredom I think, but no nap. That's a huge accomplishment.

As the days went on, the taste became less bitter and I mixed it with more water to help even more. While my energy didn't drastically spike up, I wasn't sleeping 90% of my day away. I was able to make it through work (which I do have a physical job) without feeling like I was dragging myself through quicksand. I also noticed that while I would still get headaches, they were less often and certainly less intense. I was impressed.

I also noticed, that if I missed taking them because I was busy and forgot or whatever the situation was, I felt the effects. I missed a week, as previously mentioned, and I was back to sleeping the day away, no energy, massive headaches... everything terrible that was curbed when I took the Greens. That to me, was reaffirmation that this really did work for me.
Final Review:
Lessened headaches, lessened appetite, and some more energy. I was expecting the more energy, but the other two effects were unexpected, but I was more than happy to experience it. I was hoping my body would feel better overall more, but I imagine that takes more than 3 weeks to do. While everyone may not experience the effects I have, I would definitely recommend it, at least give it a try and see if it helps. It’s certainly a lot cheaper than a doctor visit and because all the ingredients are natural (i.e. nothing on the label you can't pronounce lol), you are less likely to get the negative side effects that many get from medication. I’m hoping that once my situation changes in a few more months, I can wean myself off of them in time. But for now and for the next few months at least, Greens are my saving grace to get me through each day.
