Overview

This blend combines some well-dosed antioxidants and vitamins with several underdosed botanicals and a largely opaque proprietary blend. While certain individual ingredients like ALA and Selenium are at efficacious levels, the overall 'cell repair' claim is not strongly supported by the collective dosing of the formula's components, especially those in the undisclosed botanical blend, and the significant underdosing of key phytonutrients like Quercetin and Trans-Resveratrol.

The Good

Well-Dosed Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA): Provides a clinically relevant dose (500mg) known to support antioxidant processes and metabolic health, including blood sugar and blood pressure modulation.

Adequate Selenium and Vitamin A: Contains appropriate levels of these essential micronutrients critical for antioxidant defense, immune function, and overall cellular health.

Broad Spectrum of Antioxidants and Botanicals: Includes a wide array of ingredients like EGCG, Astaxanthin, Lutein, Quercetin, Resveratrol, and various botanical extracts, offering diverse antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support.

The Bad

Proprietary Blends Mask Dosing: The 'Repairative Support Botanical Blend' lacks individual ingredient quantification, making it impossible to assess effective dosing for some potentially beneficial plant extracts like Spinach, Olive, Milk Thistle, Reishi, Allspice, Garlic, Aloe, Ginkgo, and Green Tea.

Underdosed Key Actives: Several ingredients, including Quercetin (25mg) and Trans-Resveratrol (25mg), are significantly below their clinically effective doses (Quercetin 1000mg+, Trans-Resveratrol 150mg+). Astaxanthin (4mg) and Chaga (25mg) are also at the lower end or below typically effective research doses.

Low Bioavailability of Form: Vitamin A as palmitate, while an acceptable form, is outshined by more bioavailable forms. Similarly, the efficacy of ingredients like Lauric Acid at 25mg is questionable given the typical dietary intake and lack of clear and compelling human evidence supporting such a low dose for specific benefits
