Score 62.0

A more cost-effective larger size of a combination product, offering antioxidants and moderate liver support, but still includes an ingredient (Red Yeast Rice) irrelevant to the stated goals.

Analysis

The product's formulation is identical to ID 106603, offering CoQ10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid which are valuable antioxidants supporting cellular health and combating oxidative stress, thereby indirectly aiding detoxification and skin health. Milk Thistle extract is included for liver support. The main distinction is the increased quantity and slightly reduced price per serving, making it a more economical choice for consistent use. However, the presence of Red Yeast Rice, primarily known for cholesterol management, is not aligned with the specified goals and may represent a less efficient use of space or cost for those specifically targeting detoxification and skin health. The absence of silymarin standardization for the Milk Thistle extract means its exact therapeutic liver benefit is less quantifiable than other market alternatives.

Pros
  • Offers a better price per serving compared to the smaller quantity, providing greater value for long-term use.
  • Includes CoQ10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid, which are strong antioxidants beneficial for overall cellular health, detoxification, and skin protection.
  • Contains Milk Thistle extract, a recognized herb for its liver-supporting properties.
Cons
  • The Red Yeast Rice component does not directly contribute to the stated goals of detoxification or skin health, making it an unnecessary ingredient for these specific purposes.
  • The Milk Thistle extract is not standardized to silymarin, which leaves uncertainty about its precise potency and effectiveness for liver support.
  • While offering some benefits, the multi-ingredient approach means less focus on maximizing the efficacy of specific ingredients for detoxification or skin health compared to more targeted formulations.
Warnings
  • Red Yeast Rice can interact with cholesterol-lowering medications (statins) and may cause similar side effects, including muscle pain and liver damage. Individuals with pre-existing conditions or on medication should consult a healthcare provider.
  • Reliance solely on supplements for 'detoxification' without proper diet and hydration is not recommended.

Milk Thistle 62.0
As a Milk Thistle product, its effectiveness is somewhat diluted by the inclusion of Red Yeast Rice and other components, although CoQ10 and ALA are beneficial additions for overall health. The dose of Milk Thistle is present, but the absence of standardization to silymarin prevents it from scoring higher as a dedicated Milk Thistle supplement, despite the better price point in this larger size.
Goals
Detoxification 67.0
Detoxification benefits are derived from the Milk Thistle for liver support and the antioxidant properties of CoQ10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid, which assist in neutralizing harmful compounds. The improved price per serving makes it a slightly better option for sustained use, but the lack of Milk Thistle standardization and the irrelevant Red Yeast Rice still prevent it from being a top-tier detoxification product compared to focused liver blends.
Skin Health 57.0
The antioxidants CoQ10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid support skin health by mitigating oxidative damage, while liver support from Milk Thistle can indirectly improve skin clarity. The larger quantity at a better price enhances its long-term value for these benefits. However, it's not a direct skin health supplement, lacking specific nutrients like higher doses of Vitamin C or collagen, and Red Yeast Rice is not a skin-focused ingredient.
