Immune formula pro 60caps Vitals

Product description

Immune Formula Pro is a complete formula with the most important nutrients that support the functioning of the immune system. It contains vitamins A, C, D, selenium and zinc, all of which have a positive influence on the resistance in their own way. One capsule contains the amounts needed for daily support. In situations where there is an increased need, it is possible to temporarily increase the dose to two per day. Unique to this product is the high dose of quercetin in the highly absorbable phytosomal form (Quercefit®). Furthermore, this formula offers ease of use because all these nutrients in these doses are together in one capsule, so that in many cases one supplement is sufficient for effective support of the immune system. Where possible, Immune Formula Pro has chosen branded ingredients of the highest quality and with the best scientific substantiation. Quercetin (Quercefit®) The highest dosed ingredient in this product is quercetin. Quercetin is one of the most important and best researched bioflavonoids. Immune Formula Pro uses quercetin with the brand name Quercefit®, from the Italian manufacturer Indena. 500 and 1000 mg Quercefit® are the same dosages used in multiple human studies. Quercefit® contains quercetin extracted from the flowers of the honey tree (Sophora japonica). The absorption and bioavailability of the quercetin in Immune Formula Pro has been greatly improved by applying the patented Phytosome® technology. The term Phytosome (or phytosome) comes from the Greek word phuton (plant) and soma (body). During the patented production process, the natural clumping of specific, poorly absorbable phytonutrients (such as quercetin) is limited and they are mixed with phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine) from sunflower lecithin. The active substances are not encapsulated (as in liposomes), but a homogeneous mixture of small, easily absorbable particles is created. Bioflavonoids (such as quercetin) have a natural affinity for phospholipids. The result is the formation of phytosomes, where the bioflavonoids attach to the phospholipids. In this way they are absorbed extra well. After all, cell membranes (such as those of cells in the small intestine) also consist of a phospholipid double layer, which allows these phytosomes to pass through the intestinal wall very well and the active ingredients can be properly absorbed into the circulation. Studies have shown that the absorption and bioavailability of quercetin is improved by 10-20 times with this Phytosome® technology. Vitamin D3 (Vitamin D3V®) As a dietary supplement, the form of vitamin D3 is highly preferred over vitamin D2 in terms of effectiveness. A disadvantage of vitamin D3, however, is that in most cases it is made from sheep's wool fat and is therefore not suitable for vegans. Immune Formula Pro therefore uses a newer form of vitamin D3 from algae (Vitamin D3V®). This makes Immune Formula Pro also suitable for vegans. Immune Formula Pro offers a large dose of vitamin D as a supplement to the diet and its own production through sunlight. Vitamin K2 (K2Vital®Delta) In Immune Formula Pro, dosages of this vitamin have been chosen that have been shown to be effective in human studies. The quality of the vitamin K2 used is also a point of attention. After all, vitamin K2 is known to be very unstable. In combination with minerals or certain excipients, the vitamin K2 content in a dietary supplement can quickly decrease. This is of course highly undesirable, because you want to be able to store a product for the full shelf life. The Norwegian producer Kappa Bioscience has developed a vitamin K2 raw material that is very well protected against external influences. Through a patented micro-encapsulation process, the K2 is completely encapsulated, guaranteeing stability even in products with aggressive mineral compounds. Vitals has selected K2Vital®Delta as the best vitamin K2 raw material after extensive stability tests with various K2 raw materials in various compositions. Selenium Selenium (also called selenium) is an essential trace element. In animal and vegetable products it occurs in both organic form (selenomethionine or selenocysteine) and inorganic form (selenite or selenate). The organic forms are one and a half to two times better absorbed by the body than the inorganic forms. A low selenium intake is common in Europe, including among vegetarians. This is mainly because European soil is poor in selenium and crops therefore contain less selenium. Zinc (TRAACS®) Immune Formula Pro contains zinc in the form of zinc bisglycinate. Each zinc particle is strongly bound (chelated) to two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. The general term for such a compound is amino acid chelate or amino acid chelated mineral. The word 'chelate' comes from Greek and means 'claw'. This compound form was chosen because its bioavailability is particularly good. And Vitals only uses real amino acid chelates from Albion Minerals, recognizable by the trademark TRACS®, which stands for The Real Amino Acid Chelate System. This ensures that it is actually a chelate and not just a mixture of a mineral with an amino acid, which some manufacturers falsely claim is also an amino acid chelate. – vitamins A, C, D, selenium and zinc have a positive effect on the immune system. – vitamin A is good for the mucous membranes in the lungs and intestines. – vitamin C, selenium and zinc have an antioxidant effect. – vitamin C supports energy levels and can help with fatigue. – Vitamin K contributes to the proper course of blood clotting. – Zinc contributes to a normal metabolism of vitamin A.
