Our immune system is central in maintaining overall health—helping our bodies defend against harmful pathogens like viruses and bacteria. However, factors such as stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, and environmental toxins can all contribute to a weakened immune response. Supporting your immune system with the right nutrients keeps it performing at its best.
But with a variety of immune-supportive products available, how do you know which is best for your individual needs? At Vital Nutrients, we offer a wide range of immune-support supplements, including specialty combination formulas, botanicals, and ingredients designed to help maintain a healthy immune system.
Let’s explore some of our top products and how they can help you find the right for various health needs.
ViraCon
ViraCon is one of our most popular products and is a comprehensive formula designed to support the immune system, particularly during times of seasonal stress or exposure to environmental pathogens.* ViraCon is most commonly taken to help alleviate cold symptoms. This unique product contains a combination of herbal extracts, bee propolis, and zinc citrate—all of which help to support healthy immune function by increasing the production of cytokines and other important immune factors.* ViraCon contains herbs like elderberry, licorice, and astragalus that have been traditionally used to support the body’s natural defense mechanisms.* Whether it’s respiratory function and energy support during “sniffles season” or general immune support, ViraCon is great to keep on hand for your home medicinary.*
Aller-C® (Isoquercitrin, Vitamin C, & Bioflavonoids)
If you are looking for immune support specifically related to seasonal challenges, such as the body's natural response to pollen and other seasonal environmental triggers, Aller-C is an excellent choice for helping to maintain normal respiratory and sinus function.* This best-selling product combines vitamin C, isoquercitrin, and other bioflavonoids to help maintain a healthy immune response to environmental triggers.* Isoquercitrin is a clinically studied nutraceutical offering the benefits of quercetin with superior absorption and bioavailability to help promote cellular antioxidant levels and a normal histamine response.*
With added vitamin C for immune support, citrus bioflavonoids to help maintain capillary stability, and bromelain to promote inflammatory balance, this combination formula is an ideal option for maintaining proper levels of enzymes and physiological factors that are needed for normal respiratory and sinus function during hay fever and other seasonal challenges.*
Herbal Biotic
Herbal Biotic is a targeted blend of immune-supportive herbs, bioflavonoids, and essential nutrients designed to enhance the body’s natural defense mechanisms.* This synergistic formula combines vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc citrate, which are well-recognized for their roles in supporting immune cell function, antioxidant activity, and mucosal integrity. Additionally, the inclusion of botanical extracts (derived from botanicals such as echinacea, Japanese honeysuckle, myrrh, and garlic) and flavonoids provides further antioxidant protection and helps maintain upper respiratory and sinus health.*
With a well-rounded approach to immune support, Herbal Biotic is formulated to reinforce the body’s resilience during seasonal challenges and promote overall wellness.
Immune Support
Immune Support is a great option for those seeking consistent daily immune support, especially during times of increased physical and mental stress.* Immune Support is a potent, well-rounded supplement of adaptogenic and nutritive herbs like astragalus, echinacea, bai-zhu, and licorice, which have been traditionally used to support the immune system.* The botanicals in this formula work together to promote a healthy immune response by supporting normal antibody and macrophage activity, which may improve the body’s ability to fight off infections and maintain overall immune health.*
Which Immune Support Product Is Right for You?
Choosing the best immune support product depends on your individual health needs. If you’re looking for a formula with a broad range of immune-supporting ingredients, ViraCon and Immune Support are excellent options.* If you are dealing with sniffles due to seasonal changes or need specific support due to environmental irritants, Aller-C would be a great fit. For those needing an option that supports overall immune function but with more targeted support for upper respiratory and sinus health, Herbal Biotic combines beneficial vitamins, zinc, herbs, and bioflavonoids for extended health support.
No matter which product you choose, remember that maintaining a healthy lifestyle through balanced nutrition, exercise, hydration, and adequate sleep is crucial for immune health. These supplements can provide the extra support your body may need to stay strong and resilient, but always speak to your healthcare provider before making any changes to your current health regimen.
