Quicksilver Scientific Performance Cardio+ - Herbal Supplement to Support Blood Circulation & Brain Health - Cardiovascular Supplement with Hawthorn Berry + He Shou Wu + Ginseng Extract (3.38 oz)

At $3.5 per serving (the bottle is 20 servings and costs $69), I was expecting a miracle and was looking forward to try this product. I placed it on my tongue for a couple of seconds and felt a sting in addition to the strong taste. I didn’t feel comfortable swallowing it after feeling that sting and had to spit it out.Not sure how much ethanol is in it or what it was going to make me feel like because I won’t be using it again!

The media could not be loaded.  5/5 - Odds are you've never had anything like it. The first dose was unbelievable, instantly wanting to refuse the product I kept the intake instructions in mind. Sure seemed like a long 30 seconds that first time and when I swallowed it felt warm like a shot of booze, even seemed to have a cinnamon liquor style finish. Within a couple of minutes it hit the stomach and was also warming up, nothing in the tummy now it's time to eat.Subsequent doses have not felt near as profound as that first tsp shot of pure cardio. It seems to pep you up just by the nature of it especially when aware of the feeling at intake. It feels effective, when held in the mouth it's like liquid electricity or something. Im very impressed and I would recommend to anyone seeking these type of supplements. Definitely a 5-star product and with this kind of quality priced right

I had to stop taking this product because after trying 2 times the ethanol in this product is overwhelming. It doesn't even list the percentage? I would definitely not recommend unless you like the taste of ethanol, it burns your mouth.

This blend is very interesting, utilizing herbs I've never heard of before. While investigating the ingredients - which I highly recommend one does - I was surprised at what I learned. There are several chinese herbs and preparations included in this supplement that are new to me.My first surprise revolved around all of what Dan Shen root can do, as well as the various studies and clinical trials associated with this herb covering various body systems and conditions, as well as pharmaceutical interest in this herb. Quite amazing actually.The next is He Shou Wu. This is actually a specialized preparation. Preperation of He Shou wu is made with Foto roots. This preperation involves slow cooking the whole roots in a bean stew for 5 days to draw the emodin (that is toxic to your liver) out of the roots. Without this process it is not safe for daily consumption. In contrast, if it is prepared poorly it can cause intestinal issues (like the runs), numbness in arms and legs, headaches, and if one has issues with their liver, hepatic problems. Again, one should research these ingredients well. The benefits are many and its use goes back thousands of years.Myrrh resin. Again I was surprised to learn how this one has a very large list of uses and benefits. Again a very ancient substance used for thousands of years. There are precautions, especially for women and bleeding, so please read up on this substance.Another, Boswellia resin extract has several, wide varying benefits, and has been in use for centuries in Asia and Africa. Again, there are possible issues - again with special emphasis for women. Please research well.Other ingredients are fairly familiar to most.The dosage of the blend, while I would like to see the individual amounts of each ingredient, seems to be on the low side. For instance, according to healthline, a daily dose of Boswellia resin extract is about 300-500mg two to three times a day. The total dose of all ingredients in this blend combined is 775mg per 5ml dose. So one doesn't even get anywhere close to just one average dose of Boswellia resin extract. Usually, when adding something new, I like to add ingredients individually, one at a time. Because of the low amount of each ingredient compared to a normal dose, I am ok trying this blend.Also be aware there are only 20 doses total. Alcohol helps to facilitate absorption in the mouth through the buccal membranes, and food grade ethanol is often used in the making of tinctures.

I was not aware this has ethanol in it. This does have a lot of herbs which help to energize and I was curious how this would work. The taste of ethanol is overwhelming! You are supposed to hold this in your mouth for 30 seconds which I assume allows some of the blend to be absorbed sublingually allowing for a fast charge. And yes the experience is something very different. Not sure that I want to try this again. There are no warnings for people with heart issues but I think those with heart problems should avoid this product. Not for me but I can understand how persons doing competition sports could be drawn to a product like this.

This supplement should be for a specific target audience that is able to withstand the yuckiest of tastes! You are supposed to leave about a tablespoon of it in your mouth and swish it around for 30 seconds and then swallow it. I was able to leave it in my mouth for 15 seconds before swallowing it. I don’t know why I didn’t spit it out. It tastes pretty bad, and is bitter. However, it also reminds me of some eastern medicine type things my dad would give us growing up and I’m sure it has benefits if you can withstand the taste.As I was putting the cap back on, it quickly snapped. So I would say be careful. We were able to pour it into a mason jar, but it would surely create a mess if you aren’t careful.

I love these Quicksilver supplements even though they can be on the pricey side! This is an herbal supplement designed to support healthy blood circulation and therefore a healthy heart. I have been very pleased with this one, as I have circulatory problems as a result of a medical condition. Since using, I have noticed a decrease in secondary issues such as cold and numb hands and feet and foot sores - these are things I experience as a result of poor circulation, so I think this supplement is working fairly well for me in terms of improving circulation.While I DO consider it a good value since it has been helpful, it is in a price range that makes it unaffordable for me to take on a regular basis, which is really unfortunate since I would love to be able to continue to take it. I still give this five stars and more though, A++++! This is an awesome supplement and one I highly recommend.
