Analysis

ImmuBlast Citrus by 21st Century is an immune support supplement that provides 1000mg of Vitamin C, along with essential immune-supporting minerals like Zinc, Selenium, and Vitamins A and E. Positioned as a value-oriented alternative, it includes proprietary blends of herbal extracts and amino acids, but the specific components and their dosages within these blends are not disclosed. This lack of transparency makes it challenging to fully evaluate its effectiveness for its wide array of stated goals, including skin, bone, joint, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory support, particularly as it lacks significant amounts of primary nutrients for these broader claims. While offering a decent profile for basic immune support at a competitive price, its reliance on proprietary blends and limited efficacy beyond general immunity make it less comprehensive compared to some alternatives.

Pros
  • Provides a good dose of Vitamin C along with essential immune-supporting minerals like Zinc and Selenium.
  • More affordable per serving compared to some premium brands offering similar multi-ingredient immune support.
  • Includes a proprietary herbal extract blend and amino acid blend, potentially offering synergistic benefits.
Cons
  • Relies heavily on "Proprietary Herbal Extract Blend" and "Proprietary Amino Acid Blend" which lack transparency regarding specific ingredients and their individual dosages.
  • Weak or non-existent support for several stated goals (Bone Health, Joint Health) due to missing key ingredients.
  • Higher carbohydrate and calorie content per serving compared to some other options, which might be a consideration for some users.
Warnings
  • The undisclosed ingredients in the proprietary blends make it difficult to assess potential allergens or interactions.
  • Users seeking comprehensive support for bone or joint health should look for more targeted supplements.
  • Individuals monitoring carbohydrate or calorie intake should consider the per-serving values.

Categories
Vitamin C 70.0
This product provides 1000mg of Vitamin C, a common and effective dose for immune support and antioxidant benefits. While adequate, its price per serving is not as competitive for this amount of Vitamin C when compared to other pure Vitamin C alternatives available.
Manganese 60.0
The product contains 3mg of Manganese, which is a good daily dose supporting bone health and antioxidant systems. While adequate, it is not a primary source if Manganese is the sole focus, and other alternatives may offer higher or chelated forms for specific needs.
Goals
Immunity 75.0
Product provides a robust dose of Vitamin C alongside critical immune minerals like Zinc and Selenium, which are scientifically recognized for their roles in enhancing immune function and reducing cold duration. Its combination makes it a strong choice for acute immune system bolstering, as frequently praised in consumer reviews.
General Health 60.0
The supplement offers a spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals that contribute to foundational bodily processes and overall wellness. However, it is not formulated as a comprehensive daily multivitamin, and its specific proprietary blends lack the detailed transparency needed for a full general health assessment.
Skin Health 55.0
Key antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Vitamin A are present, which are important for collagen production, cell renewal, and protecting skin from oxidative damage. While these contribute positively to skin health, the product is not a specialized dermatological supplement and may not offer the same targeted benefits as dedicated skin formulas.
