Overview

Spectrum Vibrance contains a wide array of fruit and vegetable powders and extracts, designed to deliver antioxidant and general health benefits. While many individual ingredients are scientifically recognized for their bioactive compounds, the overall effectiveness is hampered by the relatively low doses of several key ingredients and the broad nature of the blend. Some powerful antioxidants like astaxanthin and phycocyanin are present at clinically studied doses, offering potential for robust effects. However, for many other fruit and vegetable powders, the amounts provided (200-300 mg) are likely insufficient to exert significant clinical benefits compared to consuming whole foods or higher-dose extracts, making some claims about '4 1/2 servings of fruits and veggies in one scoop' speculative without detailed breakdown of nutrient equivalents.

The Good

No proprietary blends, allowing for transparent ingredient dosing.

Contains clinically studied doses of Astaxanthin and Phycocyanin for antioxidant benefits.

Rich in a wide variety of fruit and vegetable components, providing diverse phytonutrients.

The Bad

Many fruit and vegetable powders are significantly underdosed for specific therapeutic effects (e.g., Goji Berry, Apricot, Raspberry, Blueberry, Kale, Peach, Pear) relative to research-backed amounts.

General antioxidant claims are challenging to quantify due to the blend's nature and varied ingredient efficacies at these doses.

Curcuminoids (100 mg) are at the lower end of clinically effective doses, often requiring higher amounts for significant impact.
