It's just another "snake oil" product. All you have to do is google the name and you will find 100s of horror stories about it. There is only one way to fix a head gasket and it does not come in a bottle. Unfortunately, many of these products not only do not fix the problem, they contribute to the engine's death by cloggin the radiator or causing the water pump to sieze.
