Genki's Evidence
To measure is to know.
Our mission is to investigate GENKI 
as broadly as possible, step by step. 
as broadly as possible, step by step. 
From nutritional values and ingredients to shelf life and quality: we want to know what is actually in our shots.
What we are investigating
Good research takes time. That is why we are building our Evidence Library step by step. Below you will find what we have already had researched, which results are available, and which studies are planned next.

What research shows
Below, we have collected independent, published studies on the plants and plant compounds that make up our shots. This is therefore not research conducted by Genki itself.
BroccoliGlucoraphaninSulforaphane
Clinical and molecular evidence of the consumption of broccoli, glucoraphanin and sulforaphane in humans
Review of human intervention studies
Wheatgrass
Nutritional Significance of Wheatgrass: Cultivation Practices and Opportunities for its Processing and Preservation
Scientific review · 2024
Pea
Nutritional evaluation of raw and germinated pea (Pisum sativum L.)
Scientific study · 2005
This study investigated sprouted peas, not specifically pea shoots at the same growth stage as the microgreens that GENKI uses.
Pea shootsAmino acids
Amino Acid Analyses of Plant Foods Used in the Dietary Management of Inherited Amino Acid Disorders
Scientific analysis · 2023
This study examined raw pea shoots. The results pertain to pea shoots and not specifically to the GENKI Pea Shot.
Microgreens

The above publications are independent studies on microgreens, plants, or nutrients. They were not conducted with GENKI products, unless expressly stated otherwise.
