CYCLE DEFENDER
LGXNDS
Overview
CYCLE DEFENDER aims to provide comprehensive organ support (liver, kidney, heart) and general metabolic health with a blend of B vitamins, antioxidants, and herbal extracts. While many ingredients have individual research backing, the overall formulation suffers from underdosing of several key components (e.g., TUDCA, Milk Thistle for robust therapeutic effects) and relies on ingredients with limited high-quality human clinical trials for the claimed benefits. The B vitamin complex is well-dosed, contributing to fundamental metabolic processes.
The Good
Comprehensive blend of ingredients targeting multiple organ systems (liver, kidney, heart)
Includes essential B vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid) known to support energy metabolism and overall health
Features Milk Thistle Extract, a well-researched herb for liver support, at a reasonable dose
The Bad
Suboptimal dosing for several key ingredients, reducing overall efficacy
Some ingredients are primarily supported by animal studies or traditional use, lacking robust human clinical evidence
Potential for gastrointestinal upset with some ingredients, though generally mild
Is it for you?
