Review: Magma Plus
Magma Plus is made by the same people who make Green Magma. This formulation is their super green drink with a variety of greens and veggies. In fact, they put everything imaginable in there with a focus on barley grass, wheat grass, alfalfa, and veggie powders (carrots, cabbage, beats and others). There is an acceptable amount of what they call “whole food extracts,” which is mostly a selection of healthy fillers (chicory root, wheat germ, brown rice).
Magma Plus also contains an excellent selection of natural herbs, including coix (a Tibetan herb used to help regulate digestion and liver function), licorice, milk thistle, Echinacea, ginseng, astragalus, green tea, ginger, reishi mushroom and several others. I love seeing Echinacea and reishi in green drinks, and not many formulators include them.
Top off the formula with a fruit blend, some bee pollen and royal jelly (I love seeing these additions too), and a little stevia for sweetening (not for everyone, mind you) and you have an excellent, well-rounded formula that costs about $3.60 per ounce, which makes it one of the best deals going.

A wide variety of greens and veggies with an even wider variety of special herbs and a few excellent surprises, like reishi, American ginseng, and Cat’s Claw…all for a good price.
Not everyone will want the “everything but the kitchen sink” approach, but those who do will like this mixture. Also, not everyone will like the stevia sweetener.

Wow, been drinking Magma Plus for about two years now and our latest shipment tasted WAY different.
Have they changed the formula? It’s darker, grassier and less sweet like they left out the royal jelly.
Thanks, TD.
