Overview

The GNC SuperFoods Antioxidant Blend features three well-regarded antioxidant ingredients: Sicilian Blood Orange, Watermelon, and Curcuwin Turmeric Extract. The doses of Sicilian Blood Orange (100mg) and Watermelon Fruit Extract (100mg) are on the lower side of reported effective ranges, where research often suggests several hundreds of milligrams to a few grams for noticeable effects. However, the Curcuwin Turmeric Extract (50mg) is a specialized, highly bioavailable form of curcumin, making its dosage more potent than standard turmeric extracts. While the individual ingredients show promise, the overall effectiveness may be limited by the dosing of two out of three primary active compounds, leading to potentially mild benefits.
