Analysis

SCRAM by HealthForce SuperFoods is presented as a herbal dietary supplement, focusing heavily on a 'Proprietary Herbal Blend' that constitutes the majority of its active ingredients. Products with such blends are typically geared towards detoxification or specific systemic support rather than broad nutritional needs. While online reviews might indicate subjective improvements in well-being, the absence of detailed ingredient breakdown within the proprietary blend makes it challenging for nutritionists to definitively evaluate its effectiveness for complex goals like muscle gain, heart health, or even sustained energy, as these require specific nutrient profiles. The product also provides only trace amounts of macronutrients and select minerals.

Pros
  • Contains a proprietary herbal blend which may offer cleansing or specific systemic support, as suggested by its name 'SCRAM'.
  • Low in calories and carbohydrates, suitable for various dietary preferences.
  • Contains some dietary fiber, which supports digestive health.
Cons
  • The 'Proprietary Herbal Blend' lacks transparency, making it impossible to know the exact dosage of individual active herbs.
  • Does not directly address many of its stated broad goals like muscle gain or significant energy boosts with its listed nutrient profile.
  • The very low content of Potassium (120mg) and Iron (1.6mg) means it's not a viable source for these essential minerals.
Warnings
  • The proprietary herbal blend may contain potent herbs that could interact with medications or cause adverse effects in sensitive individuals.
  • Its primary purpose appears to be 'cleansing,' which may involve diuretic or laxative effects; consult a healthcare professional before use, especially for long periods.

Categories
Potassium 15.0
The product provides only 120mg of Potassium, which is a very insignificant amount compared to the daily recommended intake of 4700mg. It is not a functional source for potassium supplementation.
Iron 10.0
With just 1.6mg of Iron per serving, this product contributes a minimal amount to daily iron needs, falling far short of the 8-18mg daily values. It should not be relied upon as a source of iron.
Goals
Energy 45.0
Some herbal blends can indirectly support energy by improving gut health or detoxification, which may alleviate fatigue. However, without knowing the specific stimulating or adaptogenic herbs and their dosages, its direct impact on energy levels is speculative and not a primary function.
Heart Health 40.0
While some herbs in proprietary blends might have general antioxidant properties, there are no specific ingredients or quantities disclosed that are well-established to directly support heart health. Its contribution would be indirect at best, primarily through general wellness.
Productivity Boost 40.0
Any 'productivity boost' would be an indirect result of a general feeling of well-being from potential 'cleansing' effects, rather than direct cognitive enhancement from specific ingredients. Transparency issues prevent a clear assessment of its impact on mental function.
