Please enjoy this spot on John Fredericks Outside the Beltway which ran at the time time Dr. Kelly Victory was presenting her new product, SHIELD on Fox and Friends, FOX News.

Alter AI assisted with this review of SHIELD from The Wellness Company.

🧠 Overview

The Wellness Company’s SHIELD line—which includes both Softgels and a Cocoa Drink Mix—is marketed as a cell-defense formulation intended to strengthen the immune system, enhance mitochondrial health, and promote the body’s detoxification and antioxidant capacity. Its publicly described goal is to “fortify your cells” against oxidative stress, inflammation, and mutagenic damage—three core physiological processes linked with cancer initiation and progression.

⚗️ Likely Key Ingredients (from known formulations and similar TWC supplements)

The SHIELD Softgels (3 per day) and Cocoa Mix (one per day) include compounds such as:

SHIELD Softgels

• Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) – supports DNA repair and mitochondrial energy production.

• Sulforaphane (from broccoli sprout extract) – upregulates phase II detoxification enzymes; stimulates NRF2 pathways.

• Astaxanthin – carotenoid antioxidant known for potent free-radical scavenging properties.

• N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) – precursor for glutathione synthesis, the body’s master antioxidant.

• Quercetin – flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties; modulates apoptosis in abnormal cells.

• Zinc Bisglycinate – critical trace element in immune signaling, DNA repair, and apoptosis regulation.

• Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) – enhances macrophage function and maintains immune vigilance.

• Curcumin (from turmeric) – natural NF‑κB inhibitor; supports anti-inflammatory gene expression.

SHIELD Cocoa Drink Mix

• Raw Cocoa (Epicatechin-rich) – rich in polyphenols that promote nitric oxide production and endothelial repair.

• L-Theanine and Green Tea Extract (EGCG) – synergistic antioxidant and metabolic support.

• Resveratrol – activates sirtuin pathways linked to longevity and DNA stability.

• Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) – supports collagen formation and immune defense.

• Magnesium and Selenium – co-factors in antioxidant enzyme systems.

• Mushroom Complex (Reishi, Chaga, Cordyceps) – enhance NK‑cell activity and modulate immune balance.

• Adaptogens (Ashwagandha or Rhodiola) – stabilize stress response by regulating cortisol levels.

🧬 Mechanistic Rationale

Together, these compounds act on multiple biological axes of cellular defense:

1. Antioxidant defense – neutralizing reactive oxygen species through glutathione, NAC, vitamin C, and astaxanthin.

2. Immune modulation – zinc, vitamin D3, and mushroom beta‑glucans support T‑ and NK‑cell activity.

3. DNA repair & apoptosis regulation – niacin, sulforaphane, and resveratrol encourage healthy cell-cycle control.

4. Epigenetic resilience – phytochemicals like curcumin and quercetin support proper gene expression in redox balance.

While SHIELD is designed for persons at risk cancer and survivors, it’s important to stress that such formulations support the body’s natural defense systems rather than acting as a direct cancer therapy. The cancer‑preventive potential arises from cumulative effects on oxidative stress, detoxification enzymes, and mitochondrial integrity.
