Supersonic Greens is a South African functional greens powder made with nine vertically farmed microgreens, spirulina, lion’s mane mushroom, pea protein, prebiotic inulin and monk fruit.
What makes it different is not one supposed “miracle” ingredient. It is the combination of diverse young greens, carefully selected functional ingredients and a direct connection to the vertical farm where its microgreens are grown.
When we developed Supersonic Greens at Arable Grow, we started with a simple idea:
No single green provides the same range of naturally occurring plant compounds.
That is why the formula contains red veined sorrel, coriander, basil, pea, wheatgrass, broccoli, mint, Chinese cabbage and red cabbage microgreens rather than relying on only one generic green powder.
Why Use a Blend of Different Microgreens?
Different crops naturally produce different combinations of carotenoids, polyphenols, plant pigments, vitamins and other phytonutrients.
Research comparing multiple microgreen varieties has found substantial differences in their vitamin and carotenoid profiles. This means that simply calling something a “microgreen powder” does not tell the whole story—the crop varieties included in the blend matter.
By combining nine microgreens, Supersonic Greens brings together a broader spectrum of plant ingredients in one convenient daily serving.
Carotenoid-Rich Greens
Red veined sorrel, coriander and red cabbage microgreens are recognised in microgreen research for their carotenoid profiles.
Carotenoids are naturally occurring plant pigments that include compounds such as beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin. They are widely studied for their roles in human nutrition and antioxidant activity.
The amount found in any finished product can vary according to crop variety, growing conditions, harvest stage and processing. Our reason for combining several varieties is therefore not to depend on one compound or crop, but to create greater overall plant diversity.
Broccoli Microgreens and Sulforaphane-Related Compounds
Broccoli microgreens are especially interesting because they contain glucoraphanin and related compounds involved in the formation of sulforaphane.
Sulforaphane has become an important area of nutritional research because of its interaction with the body’s natural cellular-defence and antioxidant pathways.
A small human feeding study using fresh broccoli microgreens detected sulforaphane metabolites after consumption, showing that compounds from broccoli microgreens can be absorbed and processed by the body.
Supersonic Greens is not presented as a sulforaphane supplement, and the amount in the finished dried blend has not been individually quantified. Broccoli was included because it adds another distinctive and well-researched plant profile to the wider formula.
Colourful Plant Compounds
Red cabbage and red veined sorrel add more than colour. Deep red and purple plants can contain anthocyanins and other polyphenols associated with their pigmentation.
Basil, coriander and mint contribute their own naturally occurring phenolic compounds, while pea and wheatgrass microgreens broaden the blend with additional chlorophyll, carotenoids and leafy-green nutrients.
The real benefit of the formulation is therefore not that every crop performs the same function. It is that each contributes something different.
Nine microgreens create a more diverse nutritional foundation than one green used alone.
Why Add Spirulina, Lion’s Mane and Pea Protein?
The microgreens form the heart of Supersonic Greens, while the remaining ingredients help create a more complete functional blend.
Spirulina is a nutrient-dense blue-green microorganism commonly included in daily greens and active-lifestyle formulations.
Lion’s mane mushroom is a functional mushroom that has attracted growing interest in research relating to cognition, mood and focus. Human evidence is still developing, and results depend on the form and quantity used, so we include it as part of a focus-conscious daily formula rather than promising a guaranteed cognitive result.
Pea protein adds a plant-based protein component and gives the powder more nutritional substance than a blend made only from powdered leaves.
Monk fruit provides light sweetness without the need for added sugar.
Together, these ingredients allow one scoop to replace the inconvenience of measuring and mixing several different powders separately.
What About Gut Health?
Supersonic Greens contains added inulin, a recognised prebiotic fibre.
Prebiotics are compounds that can be used by microorganisms in the gut. Human studies using inulin-type fructans have shown that inulin can influence the composition and activity of intestinal bacteria, although these studies generally use substantially larger daily quantities than those found in a serving of Supersonic Greens.
The current formulation contains approximately 6 g of added inulin per 60 g container, providing about 200 mg per recommended 2 g serving.
We therefore describe it accurately as part of a gut-conscious formulation, rather than claiming that one serving will transform the microbiome or treat a digestive condition.
It should complement fibre-rich foods such as vegetables, fruit, legumes, seeds and whole grains—not replace them.
Grown in Our South African Vertical Farm
A major difference between Supersonic Greens and many conventional greens powders is that Arable Grow produces the microgreen component.
The microgreens are cultivated in our controlled vertical-farming environment in South Africa. Growing indoors allows us to carefully manage their water, light and growing conditions while producing them without pesticides.
After harvesting, the microgreens are carefully dried and milled before being incorporated into the final formula.
This provides a traceable connection between the finished product and the farm where its greens originate. It also gives us first-hand knowledge of the crops rather than relying entirely on anonymous premixed green powders.
Is Dried Microgreen Powder the Same as Fresh Microgreens?
No. Supersonic Greens is intended to complement fresh food, not replace it.
Fresh vegetables contribute water, volume, fibre and nutrients that remain important in a balanced diet. A dried powder offers a different benefit: concentration and convenience.
Drying removes much of the water, allowing several plant ingredients to be combined in a small, shelf-stable serving. However, growing conditions and processing can affect the levels of individual plant compounds.
That is why we focus on what the product can genuinely offer:
- Nine different microgreen varieties
- Greater plant-ingredient diversity
- A convenient once-daily format
- Plant-based protein
- A focus-conscious functional mushroom
- Added prebiotic inulin
- No added sugar
- Microgreens grown by Arable Grow in South Africa
It is not a substitute for a healthy diet and it is not marketed as a cure or treatment.
How to Use Supersonic Greens
Mix one measured serving—approximately 2 g—into:
- Water or milk
- A smoothie or protein shake
- Yoghurt
- Oats
- A breakfast bowl
- Another cold food or drink
It can be used in the morning, added to a post-workout smoothie or included wherever it fits most naturally into your routine.
Consistency is more valuable than making a wellness routine unnecessarily complicated.
Who Is Supersonic Greens For?
Supersonic Greens was developed for people who want a convenient way to include a diverse blend of microgreens and functional ingredients in their day.
It may suit:
- Busy professionals looking for a simpler morning routine
- People who struggle to use several separate powders consistently
- Active individuals wanting a plant-based addition to smoothies
- Customers interested in microgreens, spirulina and lion’s mane
- People looking for a South African greens powder with traceable farm-grown ingredients
Individual nutritional needs differ. Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a health condition should discuss supplement use with a qualified healthcare professional.
