Texas Superfood Review: Does It Really Work?

We all know that we should be eating plenty of fruit and vegetables.

In reality how many of us do? Sometimes it’s just too much hassle to shop, prepare and cook vegetables.

There are other ways we can get these healthy foods into our bodies. We can take supplements or drinks.

There are now so many on the market, how do we choose the right one?

Texas Superfood is a product that comes in two forms.

• You can get a powder that you can mix with water or juice to drink.
• If you don’t like that option you can also get capsules.

This product claims to:

Deliver the vitamins, enzymes, and micronutrients contained in a healthful intake of raw fruits & vegetables.

Could this be an alternative to eating the correct amount of fruit and vegetables that we need?

Let’s dig a little deeper.

This supplement is manufactured by Nuplexa. The company also makes several other health supplements.

The person responsible for the development of this product is Dr Dennis Black N.D. He owns Nuplexa and Now Wellness Centre in Texas. He is a doctor of Natural Medicine.

It is worth noting that both Dr Black and Nuplexa have been the subject of warnings from official departments.

A warning letter was issued by the FDA in 2015 requesting the company stop marketing their products as drugs or cures for illness.

A further warning was issued to Dr Black by the Texas Medical Board requesting that he clarifies on all advertising etc. that he is not a medical doctor.

The product is a blend of:

The company markets this product as being “All Natural, All Real, All Good.”

They further claim that this dietary supplement supports:

• Physical energy and performance
• Quality sleep
• Mental focus and clarity
• Balanced weight

There are ingredients in this product that can benefit our health. There are no clinical trials that support the claims the company makes.

Eating a diet containing fruit and vegetables can help with many health issues.

There is no indication on the labeling of these products exactly how much of each fruit or vegetable is in it.

There is therefore no way of knowing how much this product may help with any of the claims they make. It may be there are not enough of the beneficial elements to have any effect.

The company markets the ingredients as being naturally grown and vine-ripened.

They state they harvest the fruits and vegetables at the peak of perfection. They then use a cold press juicing technique to obtain the nutrients from the pulp. The cold pressed juice is then used to make the whole food powder.

There are no side effects listed on the company website.

However people may react to something new introduced into their diet.

Looking at customer reviews people have experienced:

• Stomach cramps, diarrhea and bloating
• Excess Gas
• Allergic reactions
• Headache
• Nausea
• Changes in bowel movements

If you are unsure about any of the ingredients it may be advisable to check with your physician before using this product.

The company is listed on the Better Business Bureau and has an F rating.

Of 159 reviews on Amazon 74 per cent rate this product 4* and above.

Many people are very happy with this product.

Many comment that it is a good way to get the vegetables they do not eat.

Some like the fact that they have a choice between a capsule and powder form.

Judith E Walden writes:

This is a wonderful vegetable supplement. I have tried both the powder format and the capsules, and I am reordering the capsules, which are more convenient.

People report that they have more energy and their digestive systems work better. Beth Billings has found the supplement has helped her in many ways.

She writes:

This stuff works! I have Crohn’s Disease and often have trouble eating the fruits and veggies I need to maintain my health and immune system. Texas SuperFood has helped me in every way. My energy level is marvelous, my sleep is more complete, my hair is healthier, my skin is more radiant. I am a true believer! …and no.. this is not a paid endorsement. I’m just a gal who has found something that works. I’ve used two bottles of capsules and have a third bottle of the powder. I ordered that accidently but I’ll use that in cooking for the family. The bottles look identical except for the capsule vs powder on the label. Pay attention when ordering.

On the opposite side of the fence there are many that found no benefit from this supplement. Some comment that the price is quite high.

Rick Johnson writes:

Will never buy again. Used whole bottle and all that changed was the amount of money in my wallet. Way overpriced fruits and veggies.

There are many comments in the same vein. Some people also experienced upset stomachs.

T J writes:

It actually bothered my stomach, and had no positive changes with energy, etc. Very expensive experiment.

This product can be bought on the company website as well as other outlets like Amazon.

Texas Superfood Capsules or Powder Prices:

See below how the official site looks like.

The company offers a 30 day money back guarantee on the product. This applies from the date of your first purchase. You must return any unused portion of the product.

They state that if you are not satisfied with your purchase you may return it for refund. The refund will be less shipping and handling costs. They will also deduct another 15% for processing fee.

They state:

The bottom line is there is no substitute for eating fresh fruit and veg. Supplements may be beneficial to some but cannot deliver the same punch.

As an adult following a healthy varied diet you may already be getting all the nutrients your body needs.

There are times however when you may need help from a supplement.

It may be when you are pregnant. It may be that you are over 50.

There are also a number dietary or medical reasons why supplements may be beneficial.

This product contains many fruits and vegetables, some of which are good for our health.

On the other hand, we don’t know the exact quantities of each one.

It also contains vitamins and enzymes. Albeit they were a few years ago, warning letters from authorities may not reflect well on this company.

Should you try this product?

Many people have found it has benefited them. I suppose it depends on whether you feel your diet is lacking in the fruit and veg you need.

You do have a 30 day money back guarantee if you do decide to give it a go.
