Ingredients
Echinacea
Echinacea provides unique compounds that work together to provide dynamic immune system support.* Alkamides in echinacea encourage immune system responses and support the activity of immune cells.* This plant’s polysaccharides help to feed immune system cells and help the immune system to maintain self regulation.*
African Geranium
African Geranium (Pelargonium sidoides) is an herb used for supporting the health of the respiratory system.* It helps cells to stay healthy by supporting their ability to resist invasion and keep their defenses strong.*
Vitamin E
An essential for immune health, vitamin E is responsible for promoting the production of immune cells in the body.* These immune cells, specifically T-cells, are how the immune system takes on seasonal threats in the body.*
Zinc (as Zinc Citrate and Zinc Ascorbate)
Like vitamin E, zinc is another important nutrient for immune health.* Zinc helps the immune system maintain a timely response to everyday problems in the body.* And the importance of getting enough zinc may increase with age.*
Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid)
Responsible for a wide range of benefits to your health, including helping your body make the most out of its vitamin E, vitamin C is also an important part of continued immune system health.* It can help maintain the lining of the epithelial cells along airways, helping these important cells maintain their first line of defense.*
Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol)
Vitamin D3 functions as an antioxidant, helping maintain strong cells in the face of common oxidative stress in the body.* Keeping this in check can have benefits throughout the body, including the immune system.* Additionally, vitamin D3 is important for immune health in its own right, as it helps support the proper function of important immune system cells.*
Chromium (as Chromium Picolinate)
With the support of chromium, an essential micronutrient, the immune system is able to maintain immune cell production at proper levels, thereby maintaining overall immune response.*
