Shield | Liposomal Vitamin C CaAKG P.E.A Hyaluronic Acid Supplement | 120 Capsules with Vitamin C (500mg) CA AKG (150mg) Palmitoylethanolamide (75mg) HLA (75mg) | Made in The USA

The Renue by Science Shield Liposomal Supplement brings with it a lot to unpack.Liposomal supplements are a category of supplements designed to enhance the absorption and bioavailability of vital nutrients. NAD+ works as a transporter to carry electrons from one molecule to another within our body’s cells, helping to carry out reactions vital to generating energy necessary for cell survival.CaAKG is a natural compound that has many uses in the body, including building and restoring muscle. It is often used as an anti-aging supplement and is thought to enhance athletic performance. Another benefit of CaAKG is that it binds to excess phosphorous and passes it as wasted, reestablishing a healthy balance of calcium and phosphate in the body.P.E.A is a complex chemical thought to relieve inflammation and pain. HLA, hyaluronic acid, is known to have many uses in the body, and is essentially a lubricant used by the joints and between bones. HLA also keeps the body hydrated; one quarter-teaspoon of hyaluronic acid will retain one and a half gallons of water. It is often found in cosmetic products, such as skin serums.For all intents and purposes, and by Renue by Sciences own assertions, the Shield Immune Support and Joint Health Supplement is a well thought out, synergistic aggregate of scientifically sophisticated ingredients that fully support those benefits put forth by the seller. In addition, “Shield is formulated with patented liposome technology designed to protect vitamin C, CaAKG, P.E.A and HLA throughout the intestinal tract and bloodstream to reach cells and tissues throughout the body intact.” Well, that’s Renue by Science for you.Renue by Science states that the Shield supplement is manufactured in the USA at an FDA registered facility, under strict GMP standards. There are no fillers or “unnatural” ingredients listed on the bottle. The recommended dosage is two capsules per day, so the 120-count bottle represents a two-month supply.I like what I see here.

Looking at the ingredients, this formulation seems to have potential. I can't say that I noticed any dramatic improvements in my health during the course of taking this, nor did I notice any backslides. The capsules are easy enough to take, and I do like that it is manufactured in a GMP certified facility.Interestingly, I do like to see a product that is lab tested, but the CofA mentions berberine, and doesn't mention PEA. It makes me wonder whether this product was really lab tested.

This seems like it would be a good formula for post-training or post-injury support. Vitamin C and CaAKG help with muscle repair, PEA helps with pain management, and HLA supports joints and skin. That being said this did nothing for me after a full bottle. For $70, I would hope to see some changes, even if it is improved skin tone. This says it is made in the USA, and is 3rd party tested. However, the lab report shown here is for a different formula, not for this one, so you may want to contact the company if you want to see the lab results.

I ordered this supplement because it is supposed to help with things caused by aging and gives immune support and helps with joint health.For supplements, I don't make any recommendations. First, because I don't know the result of taking them for a long period of time. Second, I have no clue about your medical condition or how your body would respond.Having said that, all I can do is give you my thoughts on the product.This bottle came with the safety seal securely in place. It is made in the USA which is always awesome.There are 120 capsules and the dosage is 2 capsules a day. My only issue is there's a manufacturing date, but no expiration date. The manufacturing date is 9/2023. I'm pretty sure it will be good for a couple of years, but it would be nice to know for sure.I'm planning to start taking these on Monday. I will update this review if there are any issues, but I do think this supplement will be very helpful to my body.

Overall Rating: 5 stars (excellent) - Although the label lists this as “Immune Support & Joint Health”, Renue by Science also claims that this supplement is designed to optimize NAD+ utilization. I take an NAD+ precursor daily, so this seems like a good way to supplement my supplement. So many immune supplements throw in the kitchen sink, so it’s good to have a simple and straightforward formulation.Individual Ratings:INGREDIENTS: excellent - Liposomal Vitamin C, CaAKG, PEA, HLA, and the capsule-related ingredientsQUALITY: excellent - Made in the USA using global ingredients. Stated GMP certified and 3rd party testdUSAGE: above average - Two capsules per day for a 60 day supply.Note: Supplements are regulated like foods by the FDA, and claims regarding efficacy often aren't backed by science. So I don't review supplements based on those claims, and instead rate them based primarily on ingredients and quality. Prices can fluctuate so I leave it to the reader to decide value for themselves.
