Overview

The Ultimate Immune Support offers a broad spectrum of ingredients, many of which are well-researched for immune health. Essential vitamins (C, D, E) and minerals (Zinc, Selenium, Copper) are provided at dosages that meet or exceed daily values and are supported by scientific evidence for their roles in immunity. Several herbal extracts such as Elderberry, Echinacea, and Andrographis also have scientific backing for reducing the severity and duration of respiratory infections. However, the proprietary blends for 'Super Herbs', 'Power Mushroom', 'Vibrant Flavonoid', and 'Traditional Respiratory' make it difficult to ascertain the exact dosage of each specific constituent herb, potentially leading to underdosed individual components.

The Good

Provides robust doses of essential immune-supporting vitamins (C, D, E) and minerals (Zinc, Selenium).

Contains well-researched immune-boosting botanicals like Elderberry, Echinacea, and Andrographis.

Includes a diverse array of herbs and mushrooms, offering broad-spectrum traditional immune support.

The Bad

Extensive use of proprietary blends ('Super Herbs Blend', 'Power Mushroom Blend', 'Vibrant Flavonoid Blend', 'Traditional Respiratory Blend') prevents knowing exact dosages of many individual botanical components.

Some ingredients within the blends, such as Elecampane and Horehound, lack strong scientific evidence for efficacy in human clinical trials.

Goldenseal is a potent CYP enzyme inhibitor, creating a high risk for significant drug interactions, especially with many common medications.
