Reviewed by Dr. Younghun Cho, PharmD
The score is very low because the product's high cost and potential risks from unproven animal ingredients far outweigh the benefits of its standard vitamin and omega-3 content.
Pharmacist's Verdict
This is a complex and questionable supplement that combines beneficial omega-3s and vitamins with exotic, unproven ingredients like pig pituitary gland, making it an overpriced and potentially risky choice for anti-aging or general health.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Contains well-studied Omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and brain health.
- Provides a range of essential vitamins, including B-vitamins, C, D, and E, which support overall wellness.
- Includes several antioxidants like Vitamin C and Glutathione that help protect cells from damage.
Cons
- Contains highly speculative ingredients like cycloastragenol and pig pituitary gland extract with little to no solid human evidence of benefit.
- The use of animal-derived ingredients (pig pituitary, herring sperm) raises significant safety concerns about purity and contamination.
- Likely very expensive due to the exotic ingredients, while the proven benefits come from the cheaper components.
- Oral glutathione supplements are not well absorbed by the body, making that ingredient largely ineffective.
