Wellness Booster
Vitamer Laboratories
Overview
The Wellness Booster contains a diverse blend of herbal extracts, many of which have traditional uses and some scientific backing for immune support and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the efficacy is limited by the short-term use recommendation and the fact that most ingredients are included in a combined 'Herbal Extract Powder' amount, making it difficult to ascertain if individual ingredients are dosed effectively for their specific benefits. While Echinacea and Reishi have evidence for immune modulation, the overall blend's effectiveness for a 'wellness boost' is generalized.
The Good
Contains a variety of traditional immune-supporting herbs.
Vegan-friendly formulation.
Free from common allergens (wheat, gluten, milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, shellfish, fish).
The Bad
Explicitly stated for 'short-term use only', limiting its general wellness application.
The 'Herbal Extract Powder' includes 16 herbs, making specific dosing for each individual ingredient difficult to assess, likely leading to underdosing of some key active compounds.
Goldenseal and Chinese Licorice have significant potential for drug interactions due to liver enzyme inhibition.
