Has anyone tried this green food powder or a similar product? Basically they take tons of natural ingredients and jam it into powder you can take with water. Supposedly two table spoons of the powder is equivalent of 5-10 servings of fruits or veggies (or so they say). The ingredients list is ridiculously long and I have a hard time believing that they can actually jam that much crap into one product. If you had any experience/info regarding this type of product, I apprecite you sharing with us. Thanks!

Poten-ZymeTM Process The nutrient rich superfoods contained in Perfect FoodTM are pre-digested using the proprietary Poten-ZymeTM process. The Poten-ZymeTM process is an ancient bio fermentation process using beneficial microorgainisms (probiotics) and their enzymes to gently break down foods into their most basic elements. Poten-ZymeTM neutralizes nutrient inhibitors found in foods such as grains, seeds and legumes. Many people with sensitive digestive systems have a tough time obtaining nutrition from these sometimes difficult to digest foods. Poten-ZymeTM solves that problem. Poten-ZymeTM creates and liberates valuable compounds within the foods including: enzymes, antioxidants, beta glucans, phytosterols and many others. Poten-ZymeTM enhances the nutritional value of the food while making it much easier to digest. This assures the Perfect FoodTM user more complete absorption and delivery of nutrients at the cellular level. Some of the longest living and healthiest people in history have relied on fermented foods such as yogurt, kefir, miso and sauerkraut to supply them with much needed nutrition and aid in digestion. Perfect FoodTM provides the health secrets of old in a fast food for the future. Unlike other products, the probiotics and enzymes contained in Perfect FoodTM are created within the foods themselves. Perfect FoodTM provides probiotics, enzymes and phytonutrients in one whole food package. Where other super foods isolate, Perfect FoodTM completes.
