EnergyPlus
Pure Essence
Overview
The EnergyPlus supplement features a diverse blend of adaptogenic herbs and spirulina, many of which are supported by preclinical and some clinical research for their roles in energy, adaptogenic effects, and overall health. While the individual ingredients show promise, the effectiveness of the overall blend depends heavily on the synergistic interactions and the specific dosages of each extract. The product provides some ingredients at robust doses (Spirulina), while others are included at doses that may be on the lower end of effective ranges or where human clinical data for the specific extract dose is limited. The inclusion of Black Pepper Extract aims to enhance the bioavailability of other ingredients, potentially boosting overall efficacy.
The Good

Comprehensive blend of adaptogenic and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs.
Includes Organic Spirulina at a clinically relevant dose, offering broad nutritional and antioxidant benefits.
The Bad
Several key adaptogenic and beneficial ingredients, such as Eleuthero, Gynostemma, Organic Schizandra, and Organic Astragalus, are likely underdosed compared to clinically effective amounts when used individually.
The product's efficacy relies on synergistic effects, which are not always well-quantified for complex herbal blends.
Specific human clinical data on the efficacy of this particular ingredient combination and dosages is lacking.
