leaderboard Score 35.0
An expensive, multi-ingredient 'cell protector' supplement with a minimal dose of bioavailable selenium, primarily focused on botanical extracts rather than high-potency vitamins.
This product is a premium, multi-ingredient 'cell protection' formula heavily featuring various organic botanical and superfood extracts, alongside a modest 55mcg of Selenium in the SeMC form (a bioavailable organic type). While the broad array of ingredients may offer general antioxidant and health benefits, the selenium dosage is minimal, essentially at the RDA level, and the price per serving is exceptionally high due to the complex proprietary blends. It is not a cost-effective or targeted source of selenium or vitamin E.
- Contains a bioavailable organic selenium form (SeMC)
- Features a wide array of organic botanical and superfood extracts for holistic support
- Extremely high price per serving
- Very low selenium dosage (RDA level) for a product with 'Selenium' in its collection
- Proprietary blends make exact ingredient amounts and their individual efficacy difficult to assess
- Individuals sensitive to various botanical ingredients should review the full list carefully
- Given the complex blends, potential interactions with medications should be considered

Categories
Selenium 30.0
Provides only 55mcg of selenium, which is a very low dose for a product listed in the 'Selenium' collection, especially considering its extremely high price per serving. Many single-ingredient selenium products offer 200mcg in better value.
Goals
Immunity 50.0
While the selenium content is minimal, some of the botanical blends may offer general immune support. However, for targeted selenium-driven immune benefits, the dose is insufficient and the cost disproportionate.
General Health 50.0
The product aims for broad general health support through its diverse plant extracts and a low dose of selenium. Its high price point for the given selenium content limits its value as a general health supplement focused on these core nutrients.
Anti-Aging 50.0
The blend is marketed for 'cell protection' and likely contains various antioxidants. However, the specific contribution of the minimal selenium dose to anti-aging, relative to its cost, is very low compared to dedicated, higher-potency antioxidant supplements.
