Immune Plus (Elderberry, Garlic, Echinacea, Vitamin C + Zinc)

Immune Plus (Elderberry, Garlic, Echinacea, Vitamin C + Zinc) – Product Details Immune Plus Capsules consist of 60 capsules. The immune system does a remarkable job of defending against disease-causing microorganisms, but sometimes it fails. A germ invades successfully and causes illness. Is it possible to intervene in this process and boost the immune system? Immunity Boosters are extremely important if you are looking to supercharge your immune system. Immune Plus is full of powerful vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants with the potential to work quickly and efficiently to boost the immune system, regenerate the body, and protect against any potential infection. Potential Benefits of Immune Plus Immune Plus Capsules contain several key ingredients known as potential aids in boosting the immune system: Vitamin C Long been researched, Vitamin C was found to affect several components of the human immune system. Vitamin C appears to play a role in several neutrophil functions including increased particulate ingestion, increased chemotaxis, lysozyme-mediated non-oxidative killing, protection against the toxic effects of superoxide anion radical, inhibition of the halide-peroxide-myeloperoxidase system without a pronounced bactericidal effect, and stimulation of the hexose monophosphate shunt [R]. Animal studies additionally support the role of supplementation of vitamin C in humoral immunity as it increases serum levels of antibodies. Zinc Citrate Zinc citrate is available as dihydrate and trihydrate and is produced by the complete neutralization of citric acid with a high-purity zinc source, subsequent precipitation, and dehydration. Zinc citrate is mainly known for its use in dental care products such as toothpaste, mouthwashes, and chewing gums due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects and its potential ability to reduce or inhibit the formation of dental plaque and tartar. Zinc in itself is an essential nutrient and trace mineral that the body requires to function normally and optimally and is the second most abundant mineral found in the human body behind iron. Because Zinc is not produced by the body, Zinc must be obtained from diet or external sources. Numerous research studies show that Zinc as a mineral may potentially enhance immune function, stabilize blood sugar levels, and support skin, eyes, and heart health. Zinc Citrate and Absorption: A recently published study in the ‘Journal of Nutrition’, has found zinc citrate to be equal to zinc gluconate and higher than zinc oxide in terms of bodily intake, this research could potentially help battle regional deficiencies and conditions like diarrhea [R] . The study found zinc citrate to have a zinc absorption of 61.3%. Zinc Citrate and Obesity: A recent study was designed to determine whether zinc supplementation could increase the effects of a restricted calorie diet (RCD) on obesity. A randomized, double-blind clinical trial was performed on 40 obese subjects who were randomly assigned to receive zinc supplements (30 mg/day) or placebo for 15 weeks. Both groups were under a restricted calorie diet (300 kcal lower than the estimated energy requirement). Anthropometric measurements, biochemical markers, appetite, and dietary intakes were determined during the study period [R] . The study concluded that reductions in body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, and hip circumference were significantly higher in the zinc group compared to the placebo group. This study seems to indicate that Zinc supplementation, with a restricted calorie diet, may have favorable effects in reducing anthropometric measurements, inflammatory markers, insulin resistance, and appetite in individuals with obesity, and may potentially play an effective role in the treatment of obesity. Further research is needed to warrant the effects of zinc citrate as an obesity aid for human consumption. Elderberry Fruit Extract Elderberry refers to several different varieties of the Sambucus tree, which is a flowering plant belonging to the Adoxaceae family. Black elderberry extracts and flower infusions have shown the potential to reduce the severity and length of influenza [R] . One 2004 study of 60 people with influenza found that those who took 15 mL of elderberry syrup four times per day showed symptom improvement in 2 to 4 days, while the control group took 7 to 8 days for noticeable improvements [R]. Further large-scale studies are required to confirm these results and determine if elderberry may also play a role in preventing influenza. Another vital ingredient of Elderberry capsules is Echinacea, which is best known for its beneficial effects on the immune system. Numerous studies have found that this plant may help your immune system combat infections and viruses, which could help potentially aid in quicker recovery from illness [R]. A review of 14 studies found that taking echinacea may potentially lower the risk of developing colds by more than 50% and shorten the duration of colds by one and a half days [R].
