Perfor-Max
Nutrients for Health
Overview
Perfor-Max contains several ingredients known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the doses provided for some key ingredients, such as Grape Seed Extract (50mg) and Maritime Pine Bark Extract (25mg), are significantly below the generally accepted effective doses (e.g., 150-300mg for Grape Seed Extract, 100-200mg for Pine Bark Extract). The 'Botanical Antioxidant Support Blend' is a proprietary blend with an undisclosed breakdown for Green Tea, Hawthorn Berry, and Rosemary, making it impossible to assess the efficacy of these components. While these ingredients theoretically offer benefits, the underdosing and proprietary blend formulation severely limit the expected effectiveness of the product.
The Good
Generally safe due to low ingredient concentrations.
Contains a variety of well-known antioxidant and anti-inflammatory botanicals.
May offer mild general wellness support due to the presence of plant extracts.
The Bad
Significant underdosing of most key ingredients (Grape Seed Extract, Maritime Pine Bark Extract, Turmeric) rendering them ineffective for their primary studied benefits.
Proprietary blend (Botanical Antioxidant Support Blend) hides the specific amounts of Green Tea, Hawthorn Berry, and Rosemary Leaf extracts, making their efficacy unknowable.
Unlikely to deliver clinically meaningful benefits due to insufficient dosages.
