Porphyra-Zyme
Biotics Research Porphyra-Zyme is classified as a 'Botanical with Nutrients' supplement, featuring a concise two-ingredient formula. This product achieved an N+ Score of 58, corresponding to an 'F' grade, which indicates a low overall quality rating. Notably, it provides Vitamin C at a clinical dose of 120 mg per tablet. However, the second component is a 210 mg 'Proprietary Blend,' which lacks specific ingredient transparency regarding individual dosages. The product's ingredient adequacy and formula completeness scores are both 50%, reflecting the limited number of ingredients and the proprietary blend. With 100% label transparency for the disclosed ingredients, this supplement is designed for individuals interested in a combination of Vitamin C and a botanical blend, though the N+ grade suggests a need for more detailed information on the proprietary components.
