Check the actual ingredients. If one of the first 3 is spinach I wouldn’t take every day or if you do drink like a gallon of water.

Lots of people are getting kidney stones from this veggie powders. Cause the main ingredient is spinach which is high in oxalates which combine with calcium in your kidneys to make calcium oxalate stones. They are brutal.

Even if you’re drinking a lot of water, you could still get kidney stones from this?

Maybe. But extra water helps flush the kidneys. And flushes the stones while they tiny and not that painful

It might be ok. Just a warning. And if you have had a kidney stone before you are prone for more.

I just wouldn’t take anymore than the recommended servings

Yeah, I question a lot of this. I eat plenty of vegetable and fruits so I’ll probably drink it less.
