We’ve combined over 30 nutrients and bioactives into 2 easily absorbed capsules.
Zinc is essential for the function of the immune system as it helps cells in the immune system grow and differentiate. Zinc has been shown in many scientific studies to relieve the symptoms and duration of the common cold.
Studies and lab tests have also shown that zinc can block the replication and growth of viruses by helping the body’s immune system cells such as NK cells, T cells, B cells and Neutrophils which fight infections.
The form of zinc found in our AM formula is zinc picolinate. We use this because it is the most bioavailable form of zinc. In a double-blind placebo-controlled trial it was shown to be the only form of zinc that can be absorbed by the body for longer than 24 hours.

One of the main features of our AM formula is the ICF™ (Immunity Co-Factors) Compound which is composed of Camellia sinensis polyphenols, EGCG catechins and quercetin.
Camellia sinensis polyphenols are micronutrients taken from the Camellia sinensis plant (also known as the tea plant) with a wide variety of health benefits which include supporting immune function and increasing energy levels.
EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is a type of plant-based compound called catechin with various health benefits such as reducing inflammation, helping weight loss, and preventing heart and brain disease.
Quercetin is a plant pigment which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects which can help reduce inflammation, control blood sugar, and help prevent heart disease.
These ingredients have been put together in one compound because they act as a very beneficial partner to zinc. The EGCG and quercetin are both types of zinc-ionophores, meaning that they help transport zinc in and out of cells which maximise the benefits. The added polyphenols then help maintain these benefits with its immune system supporting properties.

Vitamin D2 + K2
Vitamin D is essential for immune system function and health because it affects the activity and number of white blood cells. Vitamin D also helps regulate calcium and phosphate in the body which are essential for maintaining healthy muscles, bones, and teeth. Vitamin D is also known to have anti-inflammatory effects.
The body creates vitamin D from direct sunlight on the skin when outdoors. It's therefore a good idea to take supplements containing vitamin D, especially in the winter months when we spend more time indoors.
Vitamin D is included in our AM formula, specifically vitamin D2 because it is extracted only from plant sources, unlike vitamin D3.
Also included in our AM formula is vitamin K2 which, as studies have shown, has anti-inflammatory effects and antioxidant properties, thus protecting cellular membranes from damage.
Vitamin K2 has been observed to have superior health benefits to K1 which is the reason we have chosen this form of vitamin K. In fact, the specific subtype of K2 that we use in our supplements is vitamin K2 MK7 (menaquinone-7) which is widely recognised as being the most bioavailable and having the longest half-life, meaning the best chance of building up a consistent blood level.
The reason that we have included both vitamin D and vitamin K in our AM formula is because they work together to use calcium effectively by producing and activating Matrix GLA Protein (MGP). This substance binds excess calcium and promotes arterial flow and flexibility to keep your heart and bones healthy.
The skeleton and the immune system are known to often interact with each other as immune cells are developed in the bone marrow. Therefore maintaining healthy bones are very important for maintaining a healthy immune system.

Iron
Iron is an essential mineral, crucial for red blood cell formation and oxygen transport. A lack of iron therefore means insufficient oxygen in your body which will make you feel fatigued, leading to poorer function of the immune system.
Iron is contained in our PM formula in order to make sure that it is taken separately from zinc (contained in our AM formula). The reason for this is that when iron is combined with zinc the two nutrients will compete with each other during intestinal absorption. Therefore, taking them separately allows the body to experience the benefits of both nutrients to help promote a balanced immune system.

FSC™ (Full-Spectrum Curcumin) Compound
One of the main features of our PM formula is the FSC™ (Full-Spectrum Curcumin) Compound which is composed of Organic Turmeric, Pure Curcumin and Piperine.
Turmeric is a spice commonly used in cooking which has also been recognised for its medicinal benefits for thousands of years. However, the specific medicinal compounds within turmeric have only recently been scientifically discovered and proven. These compounds are called curcuminoids, the most notable of which is curcumin.
Curcumin, which makes up 95% of our FSC™ compound, has very powerful anti-inflammatory abilities. Long-term inflammation can cause a variety of health problems, including viruses which curcumin helps to prevent.
Curcumin is also a powerful antioxidant which means that it can prevent damage to cells caused by oxidation. As well as this, curcumin increases the body’s own natural antioxidant defences for even better protection.
However, if taken by itself, curcumin is not easily absorbed by the body. For this reason, we have included piperine in our FSC™ compound.
Piperine is the major active component in black pepper and research has shown that it increases the bioavailability of curcumin by 2000% when taken together. By improving absorption, the health benefits that naturally occur from curcumin are increased, allowing for better immune system support.

Essential Minerals
Essential minerals are chemical elements that the human body needs for survival. As well as zinc and iron, we have also included three other essential minerals in our two-part formula: selenium, copper, and manganese. They were chosen based on their strong immune system supporting properties and their ability to work well together with the other nutrients contained in the supplements.
Selenium plays a significant role in bodily processes such as metabolism and thyroid function. It is well recognised for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
Copper plays an important role in the making of red blood cells and maintaining nerve cells, healthy bones, blood vessels and the immune system. It also contributes to iron absorption.
Manganese is a nutrient required for the normal functioning of the brain, nervous system, and many of the body’s enzyme systems.

Live cultures are types of bacteria that are considered beneficial to your body because they help fight off bad bacteria to prevent them from multiplying and cause infections or inflammation.
Included in our AM formula is L. acidophilus, a live culture found in the intestines and very important for overall health. Research has shown that L. acidophilus supports the immune system and therefore reduces the risks of viruses. It has also been shown to reduce the symptoms of the common cold in various studies examining its effects.
Prebiotics act as food for live cultures, helping good bacteria grow in your gut. In our AM formula, we have included Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), an effective prebiotic that occurs naturally in many plants, in order to support L. acidophilus and maximise the immune system benefits of this live culture.

Also included in our supplements are a variety of natural ingredients, chosen for their excellent health benefits.
Astragalus root has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, it has many purported health benefits, including immune-supporting effects. Ginger root and cinnamon extract both have antioxidant compounds and liquorice root contains many substances with various benefits including antimicrobial activities. Medicinal mushrooms can have immune-enhancing properties. In particular, the reishi mushroom contains molecules which can increase the activity of a type of white blood cell.

Alpha Lipoic Acid
This is the only ingredient that appears in both our AM and PM formulas. The reason for this is that receiving a boost of ALA twice in the same day is very beneficial to the immune system.
ALA is an extremely powerful antioxidant, and it protects your body’s cells against damage. It is a special compound in that it helps to recycle glutathione, the “master antioxidant” that is naturally produced by the body.
