If there’s one thing I’ve learned about entering your 40s, it’s that your body starts asking for a little more support.
Energy can change. Digestion can become unpredictable. Skin and hair can feel different. And suddenly, getting enough nutrients every day feels more important than ever.
That’s why I’ve been looking into WelleCo The Super Elixir™ Greens — an all-in-one daily greens powder created with women’s wellness and midlife nutrition in mind.
Why I’m Loving the Ingredient List
This isn’t simply a scoop of powdered greens.
WelleCo’s Super Elixir contains 40+ ingredients, including greens, fruits, vegetables, fibre, probiotics, mushrooms, herbs, vitamins and minerals.
Some of the standout ingredients include:
Spirulina & wheatgrass — nutrient-dense greens that contribute vitamins, minerals and plant compounds to your daily diet.
Psyllium & chicory root fibre — sources of fibre and prebiotic compounds that can support a healthy digestive system.
Turmeric — contains curcumin and is included for its antioxidant and nutritional properties.
Dandelion — traditionally used as a botanical ingredient and included in the formula alongside other plant extracts.
Siberian ginseng — an adaptogenic botanical included in the formula.
Mushrooms including shiitake and maitake — adding even more variety of plant-based compounds.
Magnesium, zinc, selenium and biotin — important nutrients involved in normal body functions, including energy metabolism, immune function and maintaining healthy hair, skin and nails.
Why It Makes Sense During Perimenopause
Perimenopause is a time when I think it becomes especially important to look at the whole picture — nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, digestion and recovery.
WelleCo specifically created The Super Elixir as a daily greens ritual for women going through midlife and says it is designed to support areas such as energy, digestion, skin and nervous-system function.
And honestly, that’s what I like about it.
It isn’t marketed as a magic fix.
It’s a simple way to add a wide variety of greens, plant foods, fibre, probiotics, herbs and micronutrients into your day when life is already busy.
The Benefits That Stand Out to Me
According to WelleCo, The Super Elixir supports:
- Energy production and vitality
- Healthy digestive system function
- Cognitive function
- Healthy hair, skin and nails
- Normal fat metabolism
- Immune system function
- Healthy nervous-system function
And there’s something to be said for making healthy habits ridiculously easy.
You simply mix 2 teaspoons (10 g) once a day into water, coconut water or almond milk. You can also blend it into a smoothie.
And It Doesn’t Taste Like Grass!
This might actually be one of the biggest selling points for me.
The Original flavour is Pineapple & Lime, with WelleCo describing it as a refreshing tropical flavour rather than the bitter greens taste you get from many powders. There are also Mixed Berry, Blood Orange, Lemon & Ginger and Unflavoured options.
It’s also vegan, non-GMO, dairy-free, gluten-free, contains no artificial colours and has no added sugar.
My Take
If you’re in your 40s and looking for a simple way to increase the variety of greens, plant-based ingredients, fibre and micronutrients you’re getting each day, The Super Elixir is definitely one I’d put on the list to try.
I especially love the idea of making it part of a morning routine — mix it with cold water or coconut water, add some ice and you’ve got a quick little wellness ritual without having to prepare a giant green smoothie every morning.
Because sometimes looking after yourself doesn’t need to be complicated.
Sometimes it’s just two teaspoons, a glass and five minutes to start your day well.
