Down For Greens was created by a unique collaboration between functional medicine expertise and real-food culinary design.
Our mission is to support the Down syndrome community with personalized nutrition and education to help improve health outcomes.
Our Story:
"Down For Greens started with my brother, Nick. On a run one day, I found myself thinking about how to best support his health knowing that a strong foundation always starts with healthy eating, regular movement, and good sleep. But I also kept coming back to the reality that adding multiple supplements on top of that could mean hundreds of dollars a month and 8–10 pills a day... not exactly ideal. There had to be a simpler way. That’s where the idea for Down For Greens was born: a thoughtfully crafted, all-in-one greens formula designed to complement a healthy lifestyle and make daily support easier for families like ours."
