Product analysis
The Original Glacial Grape combines amino acids and minerals with good value for several named ingredients. An unnamed blend makes part of the formula difficult to assess.
AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works
Nutrient Quality22
Most ingredient forms are unspecified, limiting comparisons of preparation quality. An unnamed blend also leaves some components unidentified.
Ingredient Transparency44
Most amounts are stated, but carbohydrate has no declared amount. Most forms and the individual blend components are also unspecified, making the full formula difficult to compare.
Value For Money70
Value is favorable for several amino acids and the mineral contributions. Comparisons remain uncertain for vitamin B6, carbohydrate and citrulline malate.
Customer Satisfaction87
Customer feedback is very positive across thousands of ratings. The sizeable review base gives a broad satisfaction picture without demonstrating health effects.
Product Focus35
Energy-related nutrition is the main purpose, with a smaller immune-support role. Extra energy is not established when nutrient intake is adequate, and glutamine’s immune findings concern specific exercise conditions.

Goals
Impact
High effect
Potassium · 190 mg
Vitamin B6 may help with deficiency-related tiredness, while potassium deficiency can cause weakness. Extra intake does not establish a general energy boost when needs are already met. Isoleucine and valine receive saved recognition despite the lack of established independent fatigue benefits. The 1000 mg citrulline-malate serving is below the saved inclusion threshold, so its exercise findings do not contribute here.
How this product is rated for Energy
Ingredient fit81
Vitamin B6, potassium, isoleucine and valine receive ingredient and amount recognition. Their amounts offer uneven or partial coverage of the comparison range.
Goal fit
Vitamin B6, potassium, isoleucine and valine contribute to the goal, alongside ingredients or uses beyond energy.
Dose adequacy
The recognised amounts provide partial support overall; the saved comparison does not establish them as proven fatigue-treatment doses.
Pathways8
The strongest tracked connection is muscle energy buffering. Coverage remains below the breadth threshold.
Depth
The strongest tracked contribution is in muscle energy buffering, with the scientific limitations described for the relevant ingredients.
Breadth
None of the tracked pathways reached the coverage threshold.
Evidence60
Potassium leads the recognised evidence contribution. Preparation recognition is incomplete for isoleucine and valine.
Evidence strength
Potassium supplies the strongest recognised evidence contribution here, subject to its ingredient-specific population and outcome limits.
Studied preparation
Isoleucine and valine lack the preparation recognition assigned to the other included ingredients.
Formulation logic100
The included ingredients meet the saved amount threshold and have no missing required partners. No configured conflict was found.
Partner coverage
The included ingredients do not lack a required partner in the saved findings.
Conflicts
No configured ingredient conflict was identified in the supplied facts.
Effective doses
All included ingredients meet the saved amount threshold; this threshold is not a proven effective dose.
Isoleucine Not classified

Valine Not classified
No linked studies yet.
Impact
Moderate effect
Glutamine at 2.5 g has limited, context-specific immune evidence: a supplied endurance-exercise study used two timed drinks after exercise, so its findings do not directly transfer to ordinary daily use. B6 at 0.64 mg contributes toward normal immune-cell function, particularly where dietary intake is low.
