Steve Harvey, a well-known television personality, has entered the wellness market with L'Evate You, a nutrition brand featuring a greens powder supplement. This article explores the ingredients, potential benefits, and drawbacks of L'Evate You, drawing on expert reviews and customer feedback to provide a comprehensive analysis.
Introduction
The pursuit of weight loss and improved health has led to a surge in dietary supplements promising quick and easy solutions. L'Evate You Vitality Daily Greens, created by Steve Harvey, aims to help people change their lives and health for the better. This product features an M-Charge blend to help the mitochondria produce energy. As with any supplement, it's crucial to examine the ingredients and claims critically to determine its effectiveness and value.
What is L'Evate You?
L'Evate You is Steve Harvey's nutrition brand, currently offering a greens powder in various flavors. The product claims to provide numerous health benefits, including boosting energy, supporting gut health, and promoting overall well-being. L’Evate may be able to help with weight loss when paired with a sensible diet and exercise regimen. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
Ingredient Analysis
L'Evate You contains a variety of active ingredients, which can be categorized into different blends.
Greens Blend
The greens blend totals only 1,711 milligrams (mg), or 1.7 grams (g). The greens blend includes a variety of greens. However, the quantities of the vitamins, minerals, and proprietary blends seem too low. Again, we’re unsure if the individual ingredient doses here are high enough to provide any benefit. According to the USDA, one single blueberry has a dose of 2,000 mg.

Digestive Health Blend
The greens blend for digestive health-which includes digestive enzymes, prebiotic fiber, and a probiotic-looks great on paper.
Mushroom Blend
The Mushroom Blend has the same issue as the previous blends in our opinion. The average ingredient dose is only 21 mg, and we haven’t come across any medical studies suggesting raw, unextracted mushroom powder has health benefits at such a low dose.
M-Charge Complex
Finally, let’s look at this M-Charge complex that Steve Harvey claims is THE thing that sets his greens powder apart from the rest. It supposedly promotes muscle growth, boosts athletic performance, and “boosts” mitochondrial production. However, despite the product page continuously referring to it as “science-backed,” we couldn’t find any study that covers it.
Concerns About Proprietary Blends and Dosages
However, her score is so low because these awesome ingredients are mainly wrapped up in proprietary blends labeled things like “digestive enzyme & probiotic blend.” Plus, the quantities are quite low.
Taste and Mixability
L’Evate You Vitality Daily Greens comes in three flavors: Original, Chocolate, and Tart Cherry. “The chocolate had the highest rating from customer reviews when I was shopping for it, so that’s what I went with,” Amanda discloses. “Three times has been enough for me because I just can’t get over its taste. I’m not sure I’ll keep taking it,” Amanda reports. Jodie Steinberg tried L'Evate You. The packaging was a soft pouch and when I opened it, some of the chocolate powder spilled out. A hard container would be better. Mixability was good. I am not a fan of the taste. I bought the chocolate flavored one and it tastes like Yoo-Hoo mixed in with green vegetable flavor.

As far as solubility, we gave the powder a 3.5 out of 5 based on a mixed experience. Amanda says, “It dissolved very well when mixed in a shaker bottle, even without the agitator ball.
Third-Party Testing and Certifications
For third-party testing, we gave L’Evate You Vitality Daily Grains a 1 out of 5. Only AG1 is third-party tested by NSF for Sport.
Customer Experience and Reviews
We gave a 5 out of 5 rating for customer experience based on the generous return policy. Amanda had a great experience with the ordering process, noting that it follows the flow of most checkout processes for supplements. “Checkout was really easy,” Amanda adds. On Amazon, L’evate You Vitality Daily Greens hold a 4.3-out-of-5-star rating based on 99 customer reviews.
Potential Side Effects
The only ingredient of note in regard to side effects is maca. The good news about this product is that it doesn’t have any active ingredients we consider dangerous.
L’Evate You vs. AG1
We’ve done an Athletic Greens, or AG1, review in the past and wanted to see how L’Evate You stacked up. For starters, AG1 has a serving size that’s almost twice as big as L’Evate You. It’s nearly double the price as well. Both AG1 and L’Evate You are sweetened with stevia and contain adaptogens, prebiotic fiber, and digestive enzymes.
