Lean Greens Review: The UK Greens Brand Behind Collagen Greens, With Creatine, Collagen and Enzymes

Collagen Greens, dose by dose

Each 12.6 g serving, about two and a half teaspoons mixed with cold water, contains:

• Creatine monohydrate (micronised): 4,000 mg
• Hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides: 4,000 mg
• DigeZyme multi-enzyme blend: 303 mg
• Lean Greens daily greens blend: 4,297 mg, including spinach, wheatgrass, barley grass, alfalfa, chlorella, blueberry, carrot, spirulina, broccoli, Siberian ginseng and green tea, with stevia leaf extract for sweetness

That is 16 ingredients in total, with no sucralose, added fiber, fillers or added sugars. A pack contains 33 servings.

The creatine dose is particularly interesting. Most research on creatine uses 3 to 5 g per day, so 4 g sits right in the effective range for strength, training performance and, increasingly, studies on healthy aging. The collagen dose is more modest than some dedicated collagen products, which often provide 10 g, but it is still a reasonable daily amount.

How it compares with all-in-one greens

Collagen Greens is a different proposition from fortified all-in-ones such as AG1. Those products focus on vitamins, minerals, probiotics and a broad plant blend. Lean Greens instead pairs a greens blend with two well-researched performance and structural ingredients: creatine and collagen.

That makes it attractive for people who already take, or have considered taking, creatine and collagen. Buying them in one scoop simplifies your routine and can work out cheaper than three separate tubs. If you mainly want vitamins and minerals, though, a fortified greens powder or a multivitamin is the better fit, and Lean Greens even markets one of its products directly as an AG1 alternative.

The rest of the range

Lean Greens also sells a handful of single-purpose supplements:

• Super Greens Powder, the brand's original greens drink, aimed at people who struggle to eat enough vegetables.
• Good Fats, an omega-3 fish oil with 500 mg EPA per capsule plus DHA, around £24.95.
• Drift Off, magnesium citrate with vitamin B6, around £19.95.
• Amber Boost, vitamin D3 with turmeric, around £19.95.
• Billions, an acidophilus probiotic.

Earlier formulas have been described as gluten-free, gelatin-free and vegan with select organic ingredients, but check each current label, since Collagen Greens contains bovine collagen.

Prices, subscriptions and delivery

Collagen Greens is priced at:

• One-time pack: £94.
• Monthly subscription: £74 per month, about £2.24 per day, with the option to cancel anytime.
• Quarterly subscription: £189 every three months, working out at £63 per pack.

The first monthly box has included a free Kinto bottle and a pack of Amber Boost, which the brand values at £53. Subscriptions can be skipped, paused or cancelled at any time, and include free delivery. Other UK orders ship free over £70, and orders typically go out the business day after they are placed.

Prices are in pounds sterling, and the brand is primarily set up for UK customers, so readers elsewhere should check delivery options and costs at checkout.

The guarantee

Lean Greens offers a 60-day money-back guarantee on first orders: if you do not feel the difference, the first order is refunded in full, and you can keep the pouch. That is a generous policy, and 60 days is long enough to judge a greens and creatine product, since creatine in particular takes a few weeks of consistent use to saturate muscle stores.

How to take it, and what to expect

Collagen Greens is designed as a once-a-day drink. Stir or shake one serving into a glass of cold water; many people take it in the morning, but because creatine works through daily saturation rather than an immediate effect, the time of day matters less than taking it consistently. Some users prefer it after training, mixed into a smoothie with fruit.

Realistic expectations help:

• Creatine typically takes three to four weeks of daily use at this dose to build up in muscle. Some people notice a small increase in body weight early on, which is water held in muscle rather than fat.
• Collagen benefits for skin, hair and joints, where they occur, tend to take eight to twelve weeks to show.
• Greens and enzymes may make digestion feel more comfortable for some people, but effects vary widely.

Drink plenty of water through the day, especially on training days, and give the product most of the 60-day guarantee window before deciding whether it works for you.

Who Lean Greens suits, and our verdict

Collagen Greens suits gym-goers and active adults who want creatine without a separate tub, people in midlife interested in both creatine and collagen, and anyone who wants a no-sugar greens drink with clearly printed doses. The UK manufacturing and founder ownership will also appeal to buyers who value smaller independent brands.

It is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans, and people with kidney disease should check with a doctor before taking creatine. Budget-focused buyers can get creatine and collagen separately for less, and people mainly wanting vitamins should look at AG1, Live it Up or Grüns.

Our verdict: a well-conceived, transparent formula from an independent British brand. Pricey, but the 60-day guarantee makes it a fair trial, and the quarterly plan brings the cost down meaningfully if it becomes a habit.
