The core benefits, as mentioned by the manufacturing company Fusion Health, refer to maintaining healthy eyes, skin, liver, and prostate, enhancing the body’s antioxidant defense, support cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation, regulate cell function, and neutralize free radicals. Additionally, the formula is claimed to reduce cholesterol and support healthy aging processes.

Summary

1) What is Revital 8 Antioxidant?

Revital 8 Antioxidant is a mixture of herbal extracts, free of most common allergens, colors, flavors and preservatives.

Turmeric, known as an Asian and Indian cuisine spice, has long been discovered to have medicinal properties, mainly attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Frequently used in Ayurvedic medicine, Turmeric has many health-enhancing properties adopted and promoted in the Western medicine as well. Curcumin is the active ingredient of Turmeric, which is held responsible for its numerous properties. Turmeric has been prescribed as a treatment or preventive remedy against diseases such as colitis, stomach ulcers, infections of the respiratory ways, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, high cholesterol, Alzheimer’s, mild cognitive impairment, heart failure, headaches, and even some forms of cancer. In addition, several research studies indicate it might help alleviate symptoms of depression and boost mood.

Another important ingredient of Revital 8 Antioxidant is Milk Thistle, an herb touted for regenerative and antioxidant effects. It is generally mentioned as a liver tonic, helping repair damaged liver cells and generate new ones. Milk Thistle is also able to fight high cholesterol and atherosclerosis, although research is rather limited or evidence is incomplete.

What’s Inside?

2) What’s Inside Revital 8 Antioxidant?

Revital 8 Antioxidant includes the following ingredients: Japanese Knotweed, Grape Seed, Milk Thistle, Green Tea, Black Pepper, and Turmeric extract.

You can also find Milk Thistle in health supplements like UltraNutrient.

3) Is Revital 8 Antioxidant Right for You?

Revital 8 Antioxidant is a combination of herbs that are used traditionally for their health-sustaining qualities.

If well-calibrated, this formula has the potential to meet all the manufacturer’s claims. In some parts of the world, these herbs are used for their healing properties for hundreds of years. Recently, they have been included in dietary supplements for the purpose of curing or alleviating the symptoms of certain diseases. Although we cannot know if this is the case with this particular formula, some herbal extracts can lose some of their healing properties when they are included in dietary supplements.

Japanese Knotweed is a powerful antioxidant and may also have laxative effects. Grape Seed extracts are very popular in both alternative and modern medicine. They are also powerful antioxidants (grape seeds contain OPCs, which are said to be several times more potent antioxidants than Vitamin C or Vitamin E) and may support the cardiovascular system and the immune system. Milk Thistle is one of the most commonly used medicinal plants in the world. Several scientific studies confirmed that this plant could adequately sustain liver health, protecting it from the effects of toxins such as alcohol, pollutants, etc. Finally, Green Tea has been proven to aid the immune system and promote weight loss.

The recommended dosage for Revital 8 Antioxidant is one tablet daily.

Does it Work

8) Bottom Line – Does It Really Work?

Antioxidants are molecules that inhibit the oxidation of other molecules in the body. Oxidation may have serious damaging effects on numerous body function, processes and systems, including the cardiovascular system and the neurological function. Revital 8 Antioxidant is a dietary supplement which contains several herbal extracts known as powerful antioxidants (Turmeric, Milk Thistle, Green, Black Pepper, and others), which have been medically used as such for decades. There are no consumer testimonials posted online referencing this product which makes it very difficult for us to evaluate its effectiveness, potential interactions, and side effects. You should remember though that this is an herbal formulation, and potential side effects are fairly limited.

Really great blend of antioxidants! My mind is clearer; I have more energy and feel better altogether ever since taking it.

Christina

Well it works for me. I used to be plagued by 2 or 3 colds a year. Now I might get one tiny little bug I hardly notice in the middle of winter. I don’t bother with Vit C, garlic, horseradish etc. This one’s all you need!

Before they changed the formula and increased I the content of green tea extract I loved it. I find it too strong and I even get nausea if I have not eaten a decent breakfast….I am having a break after reading liver damage can occur by Green tea extracts supplements.
