On Guard
doTERRA
Overview
On Guard Protective Blend is marketed for immune support and antioxidant defense. While in vitro studies suggest some antiviral activity, particularly against influenza, there's a lack of high-quality clinical trials to support these claims in humans. The blend combines several essential oils known for their individual therapeutic properties, but the overall effectiveness of the specific combination remains uncertain due to limited clinical evidence.
The Good
May provide a pleasant aroma for aromatherapy
Individual components (e.g., clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus) have demonstrated antimicrobial properties in lab settings
Can be used topically for localized skin support when diluted
The Bad
Possible skin sensitivity and irritation
Potential for allergic reactions
Insufficient clinical evidence for claimed benefits
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking natural aromatic or topical support, those interested in essential oils for general wellness
Skip If: You have known allergies to any ingredients, are pregnant or nursing without consulting a doctor, or have sensitive skin (use with caution and dilute heavily).
