Omega-3s Antioxidants
Anutra
Overview
While the product contains a wide array of beneficial nutrients, the dosage of many of the vitamins, minerals, and amino acids is significantly below established effective or recommended daily intake levels. The primary active ingredients, ALA and Linoleic Acid from 'Anutra' (chia), are present in meaningful amounts and can contribute to cardiovascular health. However, the efficacy of the product as a comprehensive 'antioxidant' or 'complete protein' source in the capsule form is questionable due to low dosing of many individual components.
The Good
Provides plant-based Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) and Linoleic Acid, contributing to cardiovascular health.
Offers a broad spectrum of vitamins (B vitamins, Vitamin E) and essential minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Potassium).
Includes a range of amino acids, though in small amounts, contributing to overall nutrient profile.
The Bad
Dosages of most vitamins (e.g., Vitamin E, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Folate, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid) and minerals (e.g., Iron, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Potassium) are significantly below recommended daily values or therapeutic levels.
Claims of being a 'complete protein' are misleading given the negligible amounts of individual amino acids per serving (total protein is only 1g per serving).
The term 'Omega-3s Antioxidants' in the product name and claims of 'HIGHEST AND SAFEST... ANTIOXIDANTS' are exaggerated given the quantity and form of the ingredients.
