iGenics Advanced
Alpha Labs
Overview
iGenics Advanced offers a blend of essential vitamins and minerals at reasonable doses, which are generally effective for correcting deficiencies and providing basic nutritional support. However, the efficacy of the product's proprietary blend, which contains several ingredients traditionally associated with vision health and other benefits, cannot be fully assessed due to the undisclosed individual dosages. While some ingredients in the blend have scientific backing, their presence at unknown quantities makes it impossible to determine if they reach clinically effective levels to 'promote healthy vision' or 'support macular health' as claimed.
The Good
Provides a comprehensive range of essential B vitamins at significant percentages of daily value, supporting energy and neurological function.
Includes key antioxidant vitamins (C and E) for combating oxidative stress and immune support.
Contains essential minerals like Zinc and Copper at 213% and 100% of DV respectively which are important for immune function and overall health.
The Bad
The product extensively relies on a "Proprietary Blend" (505 mg total) for many key ingredients, obscuring the individual dosages of Lutein, N-Acetyl Cysteine, Bilberry Extract, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Eyebright, Zeaxanthin, Quercetin, Rutin, L-Taurine, Grape Seed Extract, and Lycopene. This lack of transparency makes it impossible to assess if these ingredients are present at clinically effective (or safe) levels.
Many minerals (Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Oxide, Zinc Oxide) are provided in forms that generally have lower bioavailability compared to other chelates or organic forms, potentially limiting their efficacy.
The dosage for Vitamin A (2000 IU) is stated but the form (e.g., Retinyl Palmitate, Beta Carotene) is not specified, which is important for understanding potential toxicity risks associated with preformed Vitamin A.
