Greens Plus was formulated in 1989 by Sam Graci after years of research into the health-giving benefits of the world's most nutritious superfoods. Sam began his career as an adolescent psychologist in the Canadian education system in the late 1970s, and it was there that his interest in nutrition took hold. He went on to train as a biochemist, and turned his attention to whole-food concentrates and how they differ from isolated synthetic vitamins.
Realizing the potential of whole-food concentrates, Sam was inspired to formulate Greens Plus by his sister-in-law Lani Deauville. Lani injured her 4th, 5th, and 6th cervical vertebrae in a diving accident in 1958. At the young age of seventeen, she was diagnosed with quadriplegia and given just five years to live. Determined to beat the odds, Lani went on to continue her education, teach psychology and help others with disabilities, but poor health eventually caught up to her. Due to her severe injury, she suffered many years with a weakened immune system and an uncertain life expectancy.
In 1984, Sam prepared a green drink for Lani. She gave him suggestions for making it tastier, and he kept refining it. After five years of trial and error, Sam perfected the Greens Plus formula. Lani took it daily for the rest of her life. She died at home in the summer of 2012. In 1989, Jude, along with his wife Lani, began distributing Greens Plus, first to their family and friends, and later to health food stores, health care professionals, national pharmacies and overseas to several countries worldwide.
Since 1989, Greens Plus has accumulated multiple international awards for product quality and integrity. Today, Greens Plus continues its dedication to helping people live healthier, happier lives.
