A moderate-dose resveratrol supplement with a proprietary antioxidant blend, whose full value is obscured by undisclosed ingredient quantities and a higher price point.
This product contains 50mg of Resveratrol from Polygonum cuspidatum root extract, which is a moderate dose. However, a significant portion of its formulation is a 400mg 'Dr. Mercola's Antioxidant Blend,' which lacks transparency regarding its exact components and their amounts. While Dr. Mercola is a known brand, the proprietary blend makes it difficult for consumers to assess the true value and efficacy of the additional antioxidants. Coupled with a higher price per serving and a relatively low number of reviews compared to other products, its overall appeal is diminished for those seeking clearly defined ingredients and value.
- Contains 50mg of resveratrol, a moderate dose.
- Includes an 'Antioxidant Blend' which could offer synergistic benefits if well-formulated.
- Uses a proprietary 'Antioxidant Blend,' making it impossible to ascertain precise ingredient amounts.
- Relatively high price per serving for the disclosed resveratrol content.
- Lower review count compared to competitors, potentially indicating less widespread adoption or general satisfaction.
- The proprietary blend may contain ingredients not desired by all users or in amounts that are less than ideal.

Categories
Resveratrol 50.0
Its moderate resveratrol dose is overshadowed by the use of a proprietary blend and a higher price point, placing it in a less competitive position within the resveratrol collection.
Goals
Anti-Aging 50.0
The 50mg resveratrol dose is moderate for anti-aging, and while the antioxidant blend might help, the lack of transparency about its composition makes a definitive assessment of its anti-aging contribution challenging.
Heart Health 50.0
A 50mg resveratrol dose can provide some heart health support, but the unknown composition of the 'Antioxidant Blend' prevents a comprehensive evaluation of its cardiovascular benefits.
Skin Health 45.0
The moderate resveratrol dose offers some antioxidant protection for skin. However, without knowing the specifics of the proprietary blend, its full impact on skin health remains unclear.
