Better Quality. Bigger Doses.
Many of the supplements on the market, especially greens and testosterone boosters, use sneaky tactics to cut costs and deliver a sub-par product so you don't see results, but still pay big bucks. Man Greens doesn't.
NO Proprietary blends
Companies use blends and complexes to hide the doses of their ingredients. Each ingredient, to be effective, requires a fully effective dose. Many aren't aware of this, so companies get away with tiny doses while charging a premium. At MITA, we include a fully effective dose, of proven ingredients, in every single serving, and we put it right on the label, so you get REAL RESULTS.
NO Artificial flavors
You'd be shocked how many products contain artificial flavoring. Man Greens, again, is different. We only use natural flavoring in our products so you're not getting any added sugar or unwanted calories, and yet, Man Greens tastes great!
NO chemical garbage
Not only do we use a BPA-free bag for Man Greens, but each ingredient is organic, so you're not getting estrogenic, androgen disrupting chemicals in your greens. These pesticides are incredibly unhealthy for your health and your hormones, and we ensure they don't find their way into our products. We also third party test for impurity, dosing, and foreign substances to make sure you're only getting what's on the label.
More Than Just Greens: Full Doses of Proven Organic Ingredients for Health, Testosterone, Stress, & Vitality
We Don't Hide Our Ingredients in Blends or Complexes
Every ingredient is chosen because it's backed by science to help male hormones, energy, overall health & vitality, & stress. And we include each in a clinically effective dose so you know you can experience real results.
Organic Tongkat Ali 200mg
Boosts Testosterone in men
Helps reduce stress hormones
Supports estrogen balance
Boosts libido*
Research
Clinical measurements showed that Tongkat Ali supplementation increases energy and levels of free testosterone in most subjects, which translates to an improved quality of life and sexual health in terms of both desire and activity.… (39)
According to studies, Tongkat Ali boosts desire, stamina and endurance. A review of studies published in the Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines found a “remarkable association” between Tongkat Ali and sexual performance…
Calling it an “adaptogen of male sexual health.”
Another 2012 study from Malaysia tested the effects of Tongkat Ali or placebo on 109 men ages 30-55 years old… using the Quality of Life questionnaire and Sexual Well-Being tests.
At the end of the study, the Tongkat Ali group had higher scores in the overall Erectile Function domain questionnaire…
Sexual performance increased 14%, sperm motility increased 44.4%, and semen volume increased 18.2%. (40)
Another research team was so impressed with the results from Tongkat Ali… and how it proved to be a natural aphrodisiac and energy booster… that they ran it through another test.
In this study, men aged 40-65 years old were given questionnaires that aimed to evaluate erectile function, satisfaction, sexual intercourse performance, erectile hardness, mood, and overall quality of life…
The results showed those who were given Tongkat Ali saw significant improvements in their desire to initiate sex, improved blood flow and feeling overall happier and healthier. (41)
Organic Ashwagandha 500mg
Helps lower stress hormones*
Nutritiously dense
Supports Testosterone in men*
Research
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen, a term coined by Russian scientists to describe a herb that helps the body regain hormonal and psychological homeostasis – ie. it helps reduce stress. Studies have also shown this adaptogen's effects on helping boost test levels in men.
In two different studies ashwagandha was shown to help reduce cortisol levels by 27% and 33% respectively. Cortisol is a stress hormone. When your cortisol levels are high you’re going to have trouble sleeping, but you’re also going to use more protein for fuel than fat.
When we look directly at how Ashwagandha affects male test levels, one study showed a 17% boost in serum test levels (a pretty incredible increase from a single ingredient), with a 36% increase in luteinizing hormone, leading researchers to believe that Ashwagandha can help stimulate testosterone production at the brain level, which is powerful, seeing as this is where the entire process of male hormone health begins.
Organic Spirulina 5g
Rich in antioxidants that support longevity
Source of beta-carotene + iron
Supports immunity*
Research
IMPROVES HEALTH + ONE OF NATURE’S MOST COMPLETE SOURCES OF VITAL NUTRIENTS
You can get a lot of nutrients from a few ingredients that aren’t common in any diet on the planet.
Spirulina is at the top of this list. It’s a powerful blue-green algae considered one of nature’s most complete sources of important and vital nutrients.
Source of antioxidants.
Source of beta-carotene, a provitamin A to help maintain eyesight, skin, membranes and immune function.
Source of Iron which helps to form red blood cells and helps in their proper function.
Source of essential amino acids involved in muscle protein synthesis.
Source of protein which helps build and repair body tissues.
Spirulina is one of the most important ingredients you can have in a greens supplement. It’s rich in minerals, protein, essential fatty acids, and beta-carotene.
Organic Moringa 1g
Supports health and energy*
High in potassium, calcium, vitamin A, protein, and vitamin C
Rich in antioxidants that support longevity
Research
Very high in potassium, calcium, vitamin A, protein, and vitamin C, Moringa is a powerful tree that has been used in India for centuries to maintain health and energy. It contains all of the potent antioxidants you need to maintain and repair cells, to stay healthy and vibrant.
It’s a multivitamin on its own and a necessary addition to a good greens supplement.
Organic Maca 1.5g
Promotes a sense of well-being*
Boosts libido*
Mitigates stress
Nutritiously dense
Research
Maca has a long and rich history in ancient Peru where it was used by the Incans to help improve overall mood and well-being.
Since being re-discovered by German scientists studying ‘lost Incan herbs’, it’s been more widely studied and shown to:
Help to improve emotional aspects of sexual health
Maca has been often associated as a natural hormone healthy booster due to the actual feeling of the effects in the body, however, has not been studied or shown to directly impact test levels. Sexual function and a sense of wellbeing are important enough, you don't have to push it as something it isn't, which we are not doing.
With sexual function and libido being so closely linked to testosterone, and low testosterone often lowering a man’s libido and sex drive, you’d think that with its ability to support emotional aspects of sexual health, maca would also help improve testosterone in men, but it doesn’t.
It’s often marketed as a magical testosterone booster because you can feel it working, but that’s not what it does. Sexual function and a sense of wellbeing are important enough, you don’t have to push it as something it isn’t, which we are not doing.
Organic Foskohlii 250mg
Increases androgen receptors
Increases cAMP levels in the body
May help with heart function & asthma*
Research
Forskolin is a rare supplement that you’ll almost never find in conventional ‘testosterone boosters’, but it’s one of the most potent there is because of what it does with androgen receptors in the body.
Forskolin increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels. cAMP is a messenger that transports biological signals between cells and hormones. Thus, increasing cAMP levels should increase the sensitivity, amount, and activity of hormones in the body, with one study showing an increase of 33% in obese men. 3
Organic White Button Mushroom 1g
Balances estrogen levels
Nutritiously dense
Increases fighter T cells supporting immune response
Research
Supports immunity while blocking estrogen
Organic White Button Mushrooms are an impressive superfood that help block aromatase (the conversion of testosterone to estrogen)[28][29], while being filled with nutrients like vitamin D,[30] which increases free T levels (the form of the hormone that actually works), and B12, which is rarely found in foods outside of animals.
They're also incredibly rich in antioxidants,[31] and contain beta glucan which stimulates the immune system and kicks it into action ready to fight intruders [32][33]. On top of that, white button mushrooms, through their ergothioneine content, may help remove arterial plaque, improving heart health. [34][35] This makes these potent mushrooms a must-add to any greens product focusing on men's health and performance.
Organic Beet Root 1g
Supports cardiovascular health
Aids in recovery
May improve endurance performance*
Research
Beets are the blood flow superfood. Packed with nitratines that help increase blood flow – which is vital for athletic performance. The more you consume nitratines the more nitric oxide is released into your blood, which lowers the oxygen demand of exercise and improves performance in endurance sports and aid in workout recovery.
Your Body's Timeline to Better Testosterone, Less Stress, More Energy, & Better Performance.
Man Greens creates compounding benefits, backed by good research. It's not a stimulant that gives you a 'quick jolt', but a system that creates compounding and lasting benefits.
Weeks 1-3: Foundation Phase
Your body begins absorbing these powerful superfoods, laying groundwork for hormonal optimization.
You'll likely notice:
Clearer morning energy
More energy in the afternoon as stress becomes less of a factor
Improved recovery as beet root enhances blood flow & hormones begin to optimize
Week 4: Momentum Builds
This is when the adaptogenic herbs kick in. In a 2013 study of moderately stressed adults, Tongkat Ali showed significant stress reduction by week 4.
Sharper mental focus
Goodbye afternoon crash
More motivation & drive
Libido & workout performance start to improve
Weeks 5-8: Results Accelerate
This is where the magic compounds. A landmark study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that men taking KSM-66 Ashwagandha for 8 weeks increased testosterone by 15% while significantly boosting muscle strength. Another study showed Tongkat Ali increased testosterone by 37% while slashing cortisol by 16% at the 8-week mark:
Noticeable strength gains (ashwagandha studies show 138% increase in muscle strength)
Enhanced libido & confidence
Week 12: Optimal Health & Hormones Unlocked
In A 12-week study on Tongkat Ali in the journal Andrologia showed 90% of participants achieved normal testosterone levels by week 12. The same timeframe showed KSM-66 Ashwagandha maintaining its testosterone-boosting effects while improving VO2 max by 5.67 points in athletes. Maca's benefits for sexual desire remained steady from week 8 through 12 in double-blind trials, proving these aren't temporary spikes but sustained improvements:
More energy throughout the entire day
Calm focus to solve problems & thrive at work and home
More drive to workout & better recovery
6 Months & Beyond: the New You
A 6-month study on Tongkat Ali combined with exercise showed continued improvements in erectile function and overall vitality. Long-term spirulina supplementation studies demonstrate sustained cardiovascular benefits and reduced inflammation markers:
Maintained testosterone levels naturally
Improved health & vitality
Enhanced overall quality of life scores

I created Man Greens to help guys thrive with...
more Energy, optimal Hormones, and better Health.
I always loved the idea of a greens supplement. This notion of ushering in full, bioavailable amounts of superfoods that you just don’t find in the grocery store, in a single scoop. But that’s not what was out there. Instead, I found small amounts of the effective ingredients, and supplements that had estrogenic ingredients. So, I created Man Greens to actually do what a greens supplement should do, improve health, vitality while helping your male hormones thrive. It’s the best. I don’t go a day without taking it.”
Chad Howse, founder of MITA Nutra
Answers to all of your questions
When will I start experiencing results?
MG starts working right away. You'll feel the fully dosed superfoods and adaptogens boosting energy. With hormonal health, some guys experience it immediately, others with consistent use over a few weeks. The key is you want to be consistent. Maca, for example, the libido-boosting adaptogen, has increasing benefits up to 8 weeks of use at which point the benefits maintain if consumed consistently.
What are the ingredients? (back of label)
Each of the ingredients in Man Greens have a benefit, but only if they're in their effective dose. Which is why we include full doses of every ingredient in every serving, to help you thrive, instead of hiding them in blends and complexes so you don't know how much of what you're getting.
Do I have to sign up for a subscription?
You do not. You can order one bag, 4 bags, or sign up for subscription. We give a large discount for subscription just to encourage consistent use, which is where guys see the most benefits. But, feel free to buy a single bag and try it out for a month.
When will my order arrive?
Domestic orders typically arrive within 3-10 business days and you will receive an email with the tracking information as soon as your order leaves our warehouse. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our team at support@mitanutra.com and they will be happy to help.
Does Man Greens taste good?
We've tested dozens of different flavors using only natural flavoring, and our orange flavor consistently comes out on top.
If you look at our reviews, you'll see consistent praise of the orange flavor that tastes great, even with our fully dosed organic ingredients.
What if I don't love it?
Try it for a full month. Each ingredient is the best natural ingredient a guy can consume, so you're getting the benefits. If, for some reason, you just don't want to take it anymore or you don't like it, just reach out to us at support@mitanutra.com and we'll refund you the cost of the product, no problems, no questions asked.
Why is Man Greens the best for men?
MG contains full doses, of organic ingredients. Most supplements hide their ingredients in a blend or a complex, and don't include a full dose in each serving. MG is one of the few companies, possibly the only greens supplement, that does this.
Second, we chose each ingredient to support men's health and male hormones, so we don't include estrogenic ingredients like reishi mushrooms or soy lechithin, plus we include full doses of ingredients that actually help men hormonally, that are backed by science and human trials, making MG the only greens supplement actually formulated for men.
What are adaptogens and why are they important?
Adaptogens are a classification of plant that help mitigate our body's response to stress, namely by lowering the levels of the hormone cortisol.
This can have a positive impact on male hormones because cortisol opposes testosterone, but also being chronically stressed can have negative impacts on overall health and well-being.
Can I take more than one serving per day?
We included a full daily dose of every ingredient in every serving.
So, you're getting your full value in each serving. There's no added benefit of adding another serving to your routine, no matter how much you love MG, it'll just make your piss more expensive, as they say. You're getting all of the possible benefits you can get from a single serving, there's no need to double dose on a daily basis.
Why is MG more expensive than some other options?
While we're far from being the most expensive greens powder, we believe we have the most value per serving.
Other companies will hide their doses in blends or complexes, meaning you won't get enough of an ingredient to have a benefit. For example, we include 5GRAMS of spirulina (organic) in every serving, other companies don't tell you how much they include simply because it's an expensive - but beneficial ingredient to take. To have an effect, you need that 5 grams per serving, otherwise it's just in the supplement to be on the label and not to actually help you.
When is the best time to take Man Greens and how much is a single serving?
Take MG whenever you'll form the habit. I, personally, take it around noon for a mid-day energy boost. But most guys prefer it with breakfast, because it's the best time to create the habit of taking it daily, which is most important.
Serving: you'll see a line on the scoop. Fill MG to that line, don't round the scoop like you would a protein powder. There are no added benefits to taking more, as the full dose of each ingredient is in that single scoop.
