Highlights
- 75 whole foods, mostly organic
- Best ingredients include spirulina, chlorella, acerola, bilberry fruit extract, rose hips, cocoa bean extract, green tea extract, licorice, ginger, astragalus, eleuthero root, milk thistle, and inulin
- Superior forms of added folate, B12, zinc, and magnesium
Formulation Improvements and Additional Support
- Beta carotene appears to be a synthetic isolate
- A poorly absorbed form of B6
- A high dose of isolated alpha-tocopherol that can be inflammatory for those with certain genetic variants
- 4.5:1 ratio of calcium to magnesium (I prefer to see a 1:1 or 2:1 magnesium to calcium to match traditional diets)
- Wheat grass and barley leaf used
- Hot water or alcohol extracts should be used for reishi and shiitake for efficacy (powders can include a lot of starch and are uneffective at lower doses)
- Contains a very high amounts of ingredients that may affect absorption levels or cause toxicity and potentially the reason for online reports of elevated liver enzymes
