ageLOC TRMe Super Greens Shake (AU)

ageLOC TRMe Super Greens Shake is the phytonutrient and fibre layer of Nu Skin's TRMe weight management system in Australia — a low-kilojoule, nutrient-dense greens powder built around five whole-food greens: spirulina, wheatgrass, barley grass, spinach and kale. Unlike the four TRMe pillar products that target specific weight management mechanisms, Super Greens addresses a more fundamental problem: most Australians don't eat enough green vegetables, and that gap widens during calorie restriction when food volume drops. It's a phytonutrient and fibre supplement, not a protein supplement — those are different products with different jobs.

✅ Best suited: Australians who don't reliably eat 5-6 serves of vegetables daily (statistically, 92.5% of adults), or anyone in a calorie deficit where micronutrient gaps widen

⚠️ Less suited: Consult a healthcare professional first if you take blood thinners (kale's high vitamin K1 affects warfarin), have phenylketonuria, or are sensitive to algae

💡 Pairs well with: TRMe Protein Vanilla (clean blend), Nu Biome, and the TRMe 90-Day Kit

What Makes Super Greens Different from Protein Shakes (and Other Greens Powders)

The most common confusion with Super Greens is that people assume it's another protein shake. It isn't. Protein shakes (TRMe Protein, Amazonia Raw, Nuzest) provide amino acids for muscle protein synthesis and satiety. Greens powders provide phytonutrients (plant-derived antioxidants, polyphenols, flavonoids), micronutrients (vitamin K1, folate, vitamin C), and fibre. They solve different problems and are designed to be used together, not as substitutes.

The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend 5-6 serves of vegetables daily. The latest ABS National Health Survey data shows only 7.5% of Australian adults actually meet this target — meaning 92.5% have a measurable phytonutrient gap. Super Greens doesn't replace whole vegetables (nothing does — chewing, water content, satiety from volume all matter), but it provides concentrated phytonutrients from five plant sources that most people simply aren't getting in adequate quantity. The combination of microalgae (spirulina), cereal grasses (wheatgrass, barley grass) and leafy greens (spinach, kale) covers a broader phytonutrient spectrum than single-ingredient greens powders, which typically rely on one or two sources.

Super Greens vs TRMe Protein — Different Products, Different Jobs

Key Ingredients and How They Work

Spirulina: A blue-green microalga that's one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet by weight — 55-70% protein (with all essential amino acids), B vitamins, iron, and the unique antioxidant phycocyanin (the compound responsible for its blue-green colour). A 2016 systematic review in the Journal of Medicinal Food found spirulina supplementation significantly reduced total cholesterol and LDL while increasing HDL. At greens-shake concentrations you won't get therapeutic doses, but it contributes meaningful phytonutrient density per serve.

Wheatgrass and Barley Grass: These cereal grasses are harvested before grain forms, when nutrient concentration in the young plant peaks. Rich in chlorophyll, vitamins A, C and E, and antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD). Barley grass specifically contains saponarin, a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory activity in laboratory studies published in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry. The grasses are processed at low temperatures to preserve enzyme activity.

Spinach and Kale: Two of the highest-scoring vegetables on the Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI). Spinach provides folate (essential for cell division and DNA synthesis), iron, and lutein for eye health. Kale delivers vitamin K1 (a single cup of raw kale contains over 600% of the daily adequate intake), vitamin C, and glucosinolates that convert to sulforaphane during digestion — a compound studied extensively in Cancer Prevention Research and other journals for its cellular protective properties. Together, spinach and kale round out the profile with familiar leafy greens that most Australians recognise but don't eat often enough.

How Australians Are Using It

Mix one serve with 250 ml of cold water and drink it, ideally in the morning. It's not a gourmet experience — greens powders taste like greens — but it's tolerable in water and meaningfully better blended with apple juice, coconut water, or added to a fruit smoothie. The most popular Australian usage pattern is adding one serve to a TRMe Protein Vanilla shake (vanilla mixes more cleanly with greens than chocolate's bitter cocoa notes) — one drink, 15g protein, full phytonutrient hit, takes 30 seconds. The kilojoule load is low enough that it won't materially affect your daily kilojoule budget, which makes it one of the easier additions to a calorie-managed plan.

What to expect: Phytonutrient supplementation is structural rather than acute — you don't feel a hit the way you do from caffeine or protein. The benefit is gap-fill: micronutrients you weren't getting, antioxidant cover during the oxidative stress that calorie restriction tends to elevate, and additional fibre supporting digestive regularity (which often suffers during dietary changes). Most users notice digestive regularity improvements within 1-2 weeks. Broader benefits (energy stability, immune resilience) are gradual and depend heavily on baseline diet quality.

Works With

ageLOC TRMe Protein (Vanilla)

The cleanest pairing — Super Greens contributes phytonutrients and fibre, TRMe Protein Vanilla contributes 15 g of plant protein, both blend together in 300 ml of water for a single drink that covers two of the most common gaps in a calorie-restricted Australian diet. Vanilla mixes far more cleanly with greens than the chocolate variant.

Nu Biome

The fibre in Super Greens acts as a prebiotic — substrate for beneficial gut bacteria. Nu Biome contributes the probiotic side (specific bacterial strains). The combination addresses the prebiotic + probiotic gut health framework more completely than either alone, particularly relevant during weight management when the gut microbiome shifts in response to dietary changes.

ageLOC TRMe 90-Day Kit with Nu Biome

The full 4-pillar TRMe system bundled with Nu Biome. Super Greens isn't part of the standard Kit but is the most common additional purchase by 90-Day Kit users — particularly people whose pre-TRMe diet was already low in vegetables. The four pillars handle the energy balance and body composition mechanics; Super Greens handles the underlying nutritional substrate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy ageLOC TRMe Super Greens Shake in Australia without signing up to Nu Skin?

Yes. NuBest Skin sells Super Greens directly without any Nu Skin membership, registration or auto-ship requirement. Your order ships from the official Nu Skin Australia warehouse — same product as registered customers receive.

Does Super Greens replace eating actual vegetables?

No. Whole vegetables provide fibre, water content, chewing satisfaction, and a sustained eating experience that a powder can't replicate. Think of Super Greens as supplementary insurance that fills phytonutrient gaps, not a replacement for the salads and cooked vegetables in your meals. The Australian Dietary Guidelines are based on whole-food consumption for good reason — no supplement fully replicates the benefits of eating actual produce.

Does Super Greens contain protein?

Only incidentally — spirulina is high in protein by weight, but at the concentrations used in a greens shake, the protein contribution per serve is minimal (a few grams at most). If your goal is hitting daily protein targets, take TRMe Protein. Super Greens and TRMe Protein are designed to be used together, not as substitutes.

Can I take Super Greens if I'm on warfarin or other blood thinners?

Speak to your GP or pharmacist first. Kale and spinach are very high in vitamin K1, which directly affects warfarin's anticoagulant action. The interaction can be managed by maintaining a consistent daily intake (rather than fluctuating high and low days), but the dose may need monitoring. This isn't a contraindication, just a coordination issue worth flagging with your prescriber.

Can I take Super Greens if I'm not on the TRMe programme?

Yes — it's the most versatile product in the TRMe range. There's nothing weight-management-specific about getting more phytonutrients into your diet. It works as a standalone daily greens supplement regardless of whether you're managing weight, training, or simply trying to improve overall nutrient intake. If you eat 5+ serves of vegetables daily and have a varied diet, the marginal benefit is smaller, but the concentrated phytonutrient profile still adds value.

How does Super Greens compare to Athletic Greens (AG1)?

Different design philosophies. AG1 is a kitchen-sink all-in-one product (~75 ingredients including greens, multi-vitamins, probiotics, adaptogens) priced as a complete daily nutrition product (~AU$5/day). Super Greens is a more focused 5-source greens blend — it does the greens and phytonutrient job specifically, designed to sit alongside other targeted supplements rather than try to do everything. If you already take a multivitamin, a probiotic, and a protein supplement, AG1 duplicates a lot of what you have; Super Greens slots in cleanly without overlap.
