Quantity: 10Quantity: 30
MacroLife Naturals' Miracle Reds, based on the provided ingredient list, is a highly misleading and overpriced product. Despite its name suggesting a rich blend of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, it purportedly contains only 400mg of Vitamin C and a minuscule 174IU of Vitamin A. While Vitamin C offers general immune and skin support, and Vitamin A contributes to vision, these two common vitamins alone, especially at such low Vitamin A potency, cannot justify the premium price or adequately address the wide array of stated goals including anti-aging, anti-inflammatory support, and comprehensive general health. Online reviews for actual 'Reds' products consistently emphasize diverse nutrient profiles, which are absent here. Nutritionists would highlight the lack of a broad spectrum of antioxidants and phytonutrients typically found in such a product, rendering it ineffective and poor value for a 'superfood' supplement.
- Contains Vitamin C, which is essential for immune function and collagen synthesis.
- Includes Vitamin A, a nutrient important for vision and skin health.
- Extremely poor value for money, given the minimal listed ingredients and high price.
- The product name 'Miracle Reds' is highly misleading, as no actual 'reds' blend or fruit/vegetable extracts are listed.
- The Vitamin A quantity (174IU) is negligibly low for significant health benefits, especially vision support.
- Insufficient ingredient profile to effectively address broad goals like anti-aging, anti-inflammatory support, or comprehensive general health.
- Lack of detailed ingredient breakdown beyond the two listed vitamins raises transparency concerns and makes evaluating true value difficult without servings information.

Categories
Vitamin C 40.0
At 400mg, the Vitamin C dosage is adequate for daily intake. However, for a product with such a high price tag and limited other listed benefits, it is an extremely expensive source of a common vitamin, and many alternatives offer higher doses or better value.
Vitamin A 5.0
The Vitamin A quantity of 174IU is extremely low. This amount is negligible and provides almost no discernible benefit compared to recommended daily allowances or doses found in other supplements, making it a very poor source of Vitamin A.
Goals
Skin Health 40.0
Vitamin C is vital for collagen production and antioxidant protection for skin, and Vitamin A supports skin cell turnover. However, a 'Miracle Reds' product would typically offer a richer array of skin-benefitting antioxidants, making this product only moderately effective for skin health compared to specialized formulations or true superfood blends.
Immunity 30.0
While Vitamin C (400mg) contributes to immune function, this product lacks the broader spectrum of immune-boosting nutrients and phytonutrients typically found in a 'reds' blend, making it less effective than more comprehensive immune support supplements.
Anti-Aging 15.0
While Vitamin C is an antioxidant that plays a role in cellular health, and Vitamin A contributes to cell renewal, these two vitamins alone are a very minimal approach to anti-aging. A comprehensive anti-aging product should include a much wider range of antioxidants, polyphenols, and other compounds to combat oxidative stress and cellular damage.
