Rating: Average

Ingredient Score:

The ‘Live it up (formerly Enso) Feel the Beet’ garners a rating of 3 out of 5 green leaves on our scale. This product is a blend that aims to support vitality, featuring a mix of beetroot juice powder, a proprietary mushroom blend called Peak 02™, KSM-66ⓡ Ashwagandha extract, ElevATP™, Cognatiq™ whole coffee fruit extract, bacopa extract, ginkgo biloba leaf extract, maca powder, and pomegranate seed powder. The inclusion of coconut water powder and monk fruit extract suggests a focus on natural hydration and sweetness.

The product is certified organic, which is a positive aspect for consumers seeking cleaner food options. However, the presence of citric acid leads to points deducted due to its classification as an added sugar. The natural berry flavor and an unspecified ingredient listed as ‘Rum’ contribute to further deductions, as these are considered potentially harmful additives.

Despite these deductions, the product does not contain GMO ingredients, which aligns with the cleaner food ethos. The product is a fusion of traditional and exotic ingredients, such as reishi and lion’s mane mushrooms, along with adaptogens like Ashwagandha and energizing components like ElevATP™. The formula also includes nootropic elements such as bacopa extract and ginkgo biloba, which are known for their cognitive benefits.

The ‘Feel the Beet’ blend positions itself as a middle-ground option in the market. It balances commendable features like organic certification and non-GMO ingredients with some less favorable aspects such as added sugars and flavors. The 3 out of 5 green leaves rating reflects this balance, acknowledging the product’s potential health benefits while also recognizing areas where it does not fully meet the highest standards for clean eating.
