Hormone Balance
MILAMEND
Overview
MILAMEND Hormone Balance attempts to provide a comprehensive blend of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. While some individual vitamins and minerals are well-dosed and in good forms (Vitamin B6, Folate, Zinc, Selenium, Chromium), the effectiveness of the 'Amino + Mineral Blend' and 'Amino Blend' is severely compromised by the use of proprietary blends, which conceal the exact dosages of critical ingredients. Many of these ingredients, such as Inositol, D-Chiro-Inositol, L-Glutamine, L-Carnitine Tartrate, Coenzyme Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, L-Lysine, and L-Leucine, are likely present in sub-optimal amounts, rendering their potential benefits for metabolic and hormonal support largely ineffective. The product's overall claim for 'hormone balance' is largely unsubstantiated given the likely underdosing of several key compounds.
