Immune Defense
MegaFood
Overview
This supplement combines several ingredients with a history of use for immune support. While some ingredients have shown mild benefits in reducing the duration and severity of cold symptoms, especially in early treatment, the short, high dose nature of the suggested use and the potential for general tolerability issues mean that it may not benefit all individuals. The product is designed as a short-term treatment, not a preventive measure.
