Overview

The supplement contains several well-researched ingredients, including trans-resveratrol, green tea extract, and curcumin, known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The dosage of 125 mg of natural trans-resveratrol per serving falls within the effective range for some metabolic benefits, although higher doses are often used in studies. The green tea extract provides 80 mg of EGCG and 160 mg of total catechins, which are also within generally effective ranges. Curcumin at 47.5 mg, however, is significantly lower than typical research-backed doses (300-4000 mg) and lacks a bioavailability enhancer, making its efficacy questionable. While the product boasts an "Extended Release" formulation, no specific data is provided to substantiate its improved absorption or sustained action.

The Good

Provides a decent dose of Natural Trans-Resveratrol.

Contains an effective dose of Green Tea Leaf Extract and its active components (EGCG and Catechins).

Includes a blend of other antioxidant-rich plant extracts (Grape, Red Wine Concentrate).

The Bad

Curcumin dose (47.5 mg) is significantly lower than therapeutic ranges and lacks a bioavailability enhancer (e.g., piperine), making it likely ineffective.

Proprietary Red Whole Food Blend is listed as an 'other ingredient,' and its specific composition and amount are not disclosed, limiting full evaluation.

High doses of EGCG, though not present here, are associated with liver toxicity in sensitive individuals.
