Analysis

The 'Blood Cleanse' product from Health Plus is designed as a broad-spectrum supplement aiming to support several bodily functions including vision, skin, immunity, and detoxification. It contains a mix of well-known vitamins (A, B12, Folic Acid), essential minerals (Copper, Phosphorus, Iron, Calcium), and a range of herbal extracts like Echinacea, Dandelion, Burdock, and Red Clover. Additionally, it features specific compounds like Astaxanthin, Carotenoid Complex, and Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin. While the diversity of ingredients is notable, the efficacy of the product is hampered by the relatively low dosages of some key ingredients, particularly Astaxanthin and Chlorophyllin, which are present in amounts significantly lower than those found in specialized, single-purpose supplements. The concept of 'blood cleansing' is primarily a traditional health notion, with scientific understanding pointing to the body's liver and kidneys as the primary organs for detoxification, which these herbs may indirectly support. Overall, it serves as a general wellness blend but may not provide potent effects for any specific targeted health concern due to ingredient quantities.

Pros
  • Contains a diverse blend of ingredients including essential vitamins, minerals, and traditional herbal extracts.
  • Includes Astaxanthin and Carotenoids, which are known for their antioxidant and potential health benefits.
  • Incorporates traditional herbs like Echinacea, Dandelion, Burdock, and Red Clover, commonly used for general wellness and supportive detoxification.
  • Offers a relatively affordable price per serving, making it accessible for general health support.
Cons
  • The dosages of certain key ingredients, such as Astaxanthin (100mcg) and Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin (10mg), are significantly lower than those found in dedicated single-ingredient supplements.
  • The term 'Blood Cleanse' is a broad, non-specific health claim that lacks precise scientific definition, and the body's natural detoxification processes are primarily handled by organs like the liver and kidneys.
  • With only 68 reviews, the product has limited widespread consumer feedback available for assessing consistent user experiences or efficacy.
  • The Vitamin A (Beta-Carotene) quantity at 1260 IU is quite low for providing substantial vision support compared to supplements specifically formulated for eye health.
Warnings
  • Individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, those on prescription medications, or pregnant/nursing women should consult a healthcare professional before use, as some herbal ingredients can have contraindications or interact with drugs.
  • Consumers should manage expectations regarding the 'blood cleansing' aspect; supplements primarily support natural bodily functions rather than directly 'cleanse' the blood, which is a complex physiological process.

Categories
carotenoids 30.0
The product provides Astaxanthin (100mcg) and a general Carotenoid Complex (120mcg, including Beta-Carotene). While these are beneficial antioxidants, the total quantities of specific carotenoids are exceedingly low. Dedicated carotenoid supplements or even comprehensive multivitamins often provide several milligrams of key carotenoids like Lutein and Zeaxanthin, making the contribution from this product minimal for optimizing carotenoid intake.
Chlorophyllin 25.0
The product contains a very small amount of Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin at 10mg per serving. This dosage is substantially lower than what is typically offered in dedicated chlorophyll supplements, many of which provide 50mg to 132mg or more per serving. As a result, its potential impact on any purported benefits associated with chlorophyllin, such as internal deodorizing or mild detoxification support, is likely to be negligible.
Goals
Immunity 60.0
Echinacea, included at 300mg, is a widely recognized herb traditionally used to support immune system function, and its presence at a reasonable dose is a positive aspect for this goal. Additionally, the product contains essential micronutrients such as Vitamin B12, Folic Acid, Copper, and Iron, all of which play crucial roles in maintaining normal immune responses and overall bodily defense mechanisms.
Detoxification 55.0
This supplement incorporates traditional herbs like Dandelion, Burdock, and Red Clover, which are commonly used in herbal medicine to support the healthy function of the liver and kidneys, the body's primary detoxification organs. Choline Bitartrate further supports liver health by aiding fat metabolism. However, the term 'blood cleansing' itself is not a precise scientific concept, and the modest dose of Chlorophyllin (10mg) significantly trails the amounts found in dedicated chlorophyll products designed for similar supportive 'cleansing' or deodorizing purposes.
Skin Health 45.0
Astaxanthin and Vitamin A (from Beta-Carotene) are valuable for skin health, contributing antioxidant protection and supporting healthy skin cell turnover. While Sodium Copper Chlorophyllin is also present and occasionally marketed for skin benefits, its evidence base for this purpose is weaker and the dosage of 10mg is minimal. The overall concentrations of the primary skin-benefiting ingredients are too modest to yield significant improvements compared to more potent, dedicated skin health formulations.
