Overview

Antioxidant Extreme provides a blend of well-regarded botanical antioxidants, with particular strengths in its Turmeric and Grape Seed Extract dosages, supported by Black Pepper for enhanced absorption. However, the use of proprietary blends for several other ingredients raises questions about the optimal dosing of those components, making a full assessment of their individual contributions challenging. Its effectiveness is likely driven by the larger, better-dosed ingredients.

The Good

Comprehensive Antioxidant Support: Contains a broad spectrum of well-known botanical antioxidants targeting various oxidative stress pathways.

Well-Dosed Turmeric Complex: The product provides a robust 410 mg of Turmeric Root Complex, which includes 330 mg of Turmeric and 80 mg of Turmeric Root Extract, aligning well with effective doses for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Bioavailability Enhancement (Black Pepper): The inclusion of Black Pepper is critical and effective for significantly increasing the absorption and bioavailability of curcumin from Turmeric.

The Bad

Proprietary Blends Mask Dosing: The 'Herbal Antioxidant Activators' and 'Super Fruit Blend' are not fully disclosed, making it difficult to ascertain the effective dosage of individual components within these blends.

Green Tea Extract Underdosed for EGCG: While general Green Tea Extract is present, the specific EGCG content is not provided, and the total amount (70 mg) is likely below the 400-500 mg EGCG equivalent per day typically required for significant effects.

Japanese Knotweed Extract Low Dose: Japanese Knotweed is present at 75 mg, but research on optimal dosing for its full benefits, particularly for its resveratrol content, suggests higher amounts might be beneficial, and its specific resveratrol content is not declared.
