Q + A
Benefits
What are the benefits of taking Daily Elements every day?
Your body benefits from consistently eating real vegetables, and Daily Elements makes that much easier to do every day.
Vegetables provide vitamins, minerals, fiber, and naturally occurring plant compounds that support overall health. Most Americans still do not eat enough vegetables, which is the basic problem Daily Elements was built to solve.

When should I expect to feel a difference?
There isn’t one magic timeline, but many customers tell us they notice a difference once Daily Elements becomes part of their routine.
This is real food, not a 14-day transformation program. Consistency matters more than a countdown promise.

Will Daily Elements give me more energy?
There’s no caffeine or stimulant hiding in the bag, but energy is one of the things our customers talk about most.
Good nutrition supplies vitamins and minerals your body uses in normal energy metabolism and everyday function. Daily Elements is vegetables, not an energy supplement.

Does Daily Elements help with digestion?
Eating more plant foods is a pretty sensible place to start if digestive health is on your mind.
Dietary fiber helps support normal digestive health, and vegetables are an important source of fiber.

Can Daily Elements replace my multivitamin?
We didn’t make a multivitamin. We made vegetables easier to eat.
A multivitamin starts with a list of isolated nutrients. Daily Elements starts with broccoli, kale, red cabbage, and peas. Customers may choose to simplify other parts of their routine, but specific doctor-directed supplementation is a separate question.

Basics
Why is Daily Elements the best greens powder?
Because we think a greens powder should actually be made from greens.
We grow the broccoli, kale, red cabbage, and peas ourselves on our Illinois farm, harvest them as microgreens, freeze-dry them, and make them easy to have every day. No giant proprietary blend. No mystery ingredient list.
What makes Daily Elements different from other greens powders?
Most greens companies buy powdered ingredients. We grow our greens ourselves.
Daily Elements started as a fresh-greens farming company, not a supplement company. Growing the four vegetables at the heart of every pouch gives us visibility from seed to powder.
Why do I need a greens powder in the first place?
If you already eat enough vegetables every day, you may not. Daily Elements is for the rest of us.
Most Americans do not eat the recommended amount of vegetables. Knowing vegetables are good for us is rarely the problem. Daily Elements makes actually eating them consistently a whole lot easier.

Can I really count this as eating vegetables?
The broccoli in your pouch started as broccoli. The kale started as kale. Freeze-drying them doesn’t make them stop being vegetables.
We grow the plants, harvest them young, remove the water through freeze-drying, and grind them into an easy-to-use powder. Daily Elements is another way to get more real vegetables into your day.
Isn’t eating fresh vegetables still better?
Please eat fresh vegetables. Daily Elements exists because most of us aren’t doing that often enough.
Fresh, frozen, dried, roasted, tossed into a salad, we’re pro-vegetable. Daily Elements simply makes the 'every day' part easier.
Microgreens + Nutrition
What exactly are microgreens?
They’re just vegetables harvested young.
We grow broccoli, kale, red cabbage, and peas and harvest them shortly after their first leaves develop rather than letting them grow to full maturity. Same vegetables, earlier stage.
Why do you harvest your vegetables as microgreens?
Because vegetables can be remarkably nutrient-dense when they’re young.
A USDA-associated study of 25 microgreens found that microgreens generally had considerably higher concentrations of vitamins and carotenoids than mature-leaf comparisons. Red cabbage is a memorable example: the tested red cabbage microgreens contained about 6x more vitamin C than a published mature red cabbage comparison.

Are microgreens really more nutritious than full-grown vegetables?
For certain nutrients and varieties, yes. That’s the interesting part of microgreens, and we don’t need to exaggerate it.
USDA summarized research on 25 microgreens as finding that, in general, they had about five times higher levels of vitamins and carotenoids than mature counterparts. Red cabbage microgreens were especially high in vitamin C, while other varieties stood out for carotenoids, vitamin K, or vitamin E.

How can such a small serving contain so much?
Because fresh vegetables contain a whole lot of water, and freeze-drying takes that water out.
What looks like a small scoop started as a much larger volume of fresh microgreens. Removing the water gives us a lightweight, concentrated way to make those plants part of an everyday routine.
Why broccoli, kale, red cabbage, and peas?
Because four great vegetables we know from seed to harvest beat 75 ingredients we don’t.
Broccoli, kale, red cabbage, and peas bring a range of naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, fiber, and plant compounds. We chose vegetables we can grow really well ourselves instead of building a longer label for marketing purposes.
Does freeze-drying destroy the nutrients?
Freeze-drying lets us remove water at low temperatures instead of cooking our fresh microgreens at high heat.
Freeze-drying is widely used as a gentle preservation method. Nutrient retention varies by nutrient and ingredient, but the process is well suited to preserving foods while making them shelf-stable.

Farm + Ingredients
Where are your vegetables grown?
The broccoli, kale, red cabbage, and peas in every bag are grown by us, right here on our Illinois farm.
We grow them indoors in a state-of-the-art, controlled environment where our farm team can closely manage water, light, temperature, and growing conditions from seed to harvest. For fruits and plants we don’t grow ourselves, we work with U.S. farming partners.
Why does growing your own greens matter?
Because 'we know exactly where our greens came from' shouldn’t be an unusual thing to say about a greens powder.
Growing our own vegetables gives us control from seed to powder. They’re grown indoors in a clean, controlled environment. Our team manages the water and growing conditions carefully, and we don’t use traditional pesticides. There are far fewer unknowns than in a long global ingredient supply chain.
Do you use pesticides?
Our broccoli, kale, red cabbage, and peas are grown on our farm without traditional pesticides.
Our indoor growing environment gives us close control over the conditions from seed to harvest, including water, light, and temperature, without relying on the standard pesticide practices common in conventional field-grown produce.
Is Daily Elements organic?
We’re not certified organic. We chose to prioritize knowing exactly how our core vegetables are grown.
Our vegetables are grown by us indoors on our Illinois farm, without traditional pesticides, with visibility from seed through harvest. For ingredients we don’t grow ourselves, we work with U.S. farming partners.
What about heavy metals?
Heavy metals matter to us, and this answer should say exactly what our testing supports.
Growing our core vegetables ourselves gives us control over water, inputs, and growing conditions. Final public copy should state the actual finished-product or batch testing protocol, lab, frequency, and standard once verified.
Products + Flavor
What’s the difference between Original and Electrolyte?
Same farm-grown vegetables, two different jobs. Original is your everyday veggie habit. Electrolyte adds sodium and potassium so you can get veggies + hydration in the same glass.
Both start with broccoli, kale, red cabbage, and peas grown on our Illinois farm. If you already keep an electrolyte powder around, Electrolyte gives you one less thing to think about.
What does Daily Elements actually taste like?
Like real food, not green candy.
Garden Greens is fresh, clean, and unapologetically green. Wild Berry is fruitier. Lemon Ginger is bright and lightly sweet. The Electrolyte flavors are built to be easy to drink in water: Salty Lemon, Wild Berry, and Orange Sea Salt.
Which flavor should I start with?
Greens purist? Garden Greens. Want fruitier? Wild Berry. Bright and refreshing? Lemon Ginger. Already drink electrolytes? Start there.
The best flavor is the one you’ll actually look forward to having tomorrow.
How to Use
What’s the best way to take Daily Elements?
The best way is whatever makes you actually take it.
Mix the flavored blends with water, put Garden Greens into a smoothie, or add it to foods you already eat. The point is consistency, not a complicated ritual.
“So versatile & tasty in anything you combine it with.” - Gloria J. Y., Verified Customer
Do I need to take it every day?
You don’t have to. But consistency is kind of the whole point.
Good nutrition comes from the foods and habits you repeat. If Daily Elements makes vegetables easy enough to become a daily habit, we’ve done our job. Miss Tuesday and carry on.
Family
Can kids have Daily Elements?
Parents use Daily Elements as another easy way to work vegetables into foods their kids already eat.
Customers report mixing it into smoothies, soups, yogurt, eggs, PB&J, and family meals. Because Daily Elements is sold as a dietary supplement, parents should check with their pediatrician before adding it to a child’s routine. Lemon Ginger contains honey and should not be given to infants under 12 months.
Storage
How should I store Daily Elements?
Keep it sealed, dry, and away from heat and moisture. Refrigeration isn’t required.
You can keep it in the fridge if you like. The most important thing is keeping moisture out and closing the pouch tightly after use.
Guarantee
What if I don’t like it?
Try it. If it isn’t for you, that’s what the 30-Day Taste Guarantee is for.
We’d rather earn a place in your routine than make you keep a bag you don’t want.
