"Greens blend (proprietary)" generally refers to a mixture of powdered green vegetables, grasses, and sometimes algae or herbal ingredients. Common contents include spinach, kale, wheatgrass, barley grass, spirulina, and chlorella, though exact compositions vary by brand. The use of greens blends to "support the kidneys" is primarily justified by traditional and folk medicine, which often associates green vegetables and herbs with "cleansing" or detoxifying properties, sometimes extending to kidney health. For example, traditional systems may recommend parsley or nettle for urinary health, and green vegetables are often part of dietary recommendations aimed at supporting overall health, including renal function. However, scientific research specifically investigating proprietary greens blends and their effects on the kidneys is extremely limited. Some individual components (e.g., certain antioxidants in green vegetables) may contribute generally to health by reducing oxidative stress, but this is not direct evidence of kidney support or protection in humans. Moreover, for individuals with kidney disease, some greens blends may be contraindicated due to high potassium or oxalate content. In summary, while the use of greens blends for kidney support is rooted in traditional beliefs about "detoxification" and the health benefits of green vegetables, there is insufficient scientific evidence directly validating the use of such blends for kidney support.
