Sunshine Heroes Elderberry Immune
Nature's Sunshine
Overview
This product contains several well-researched immune-supporting ingredients like Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, and Elderberry extract. While these individual ingredients are backed by scientific evidence for their immune benefits, the effectiveness of the proprietary blends (Immune and Protector Shield) is difficult to fully assess due to the undisclosed quantities of individual components within them. The doses of Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc are well-aligned with recommended daily intakes for immune support.
