5 Day Elderberry Immune, 40 chewable tablets - Life Extension

Health benefits at a glance:

Research shows that standardized elderberry extract supports your immune system—and we all know zinc and vitamin C promotes a healthy immune response.

Why it works:

5 Day Elderberry Immune is NOT the daily immune support supplement we have been advocating to take for years. 

This targeted formula is designed to immediately support your immune response, with only eight tablets a day for five days. 

This formula gives your immune system intense nutritional support for when you need it most, so you stay at your best.

The science behind the product:

Standardized elderberry extract

Elderberry extract has a reputation for its ability to promote a healthy immune response—a reputation that research now seems to confirm. A meta-analysis of four separate studies [1] indicates that supplementation with a standardized elderberry extract lessened duration and response to an immune challenge—with results noticed in as little as two days in one study. [2,3]

Every tablet of 5-Day Elderberry Immune delivers 86.5 mg of elderberry extract standardized to anthocyanins. This works out to almost 700 mg of standardized elderberry extract a day, offering powerful and immediate support to healthy immune response and respiratory health.

10 mg of zinc

Zinc ions help encourage your body’s first line of defense. This is one reason why zinc is so well-respected for its ability to provide immediate support to healthy immune response. Multiple studies have shown that zinc helps lessen duration and response to an immune challenge—especially if you start taking it quickly. [4]

Every tablet of 5-Day Elderberry Immune delivers 86.5 mg of elderberry extract standardized to anthocyanins. This works out to almost 700 mg of standardized elderberry extract a day, offering powerful and immediate support to healthy immune response and respiratory health.

125 mg of vitamin C

Another meta-analysis of research into vitamin C revealed that taking vitamin C helped lessen duration and response to immune challenges. [5] 

Every tablet of 5-Day Elderberry Immune delivers 125 mg of vitamin C. That works out to 1000 mg of vitamin C delivered throughout the day, giving your body a near-constant supply of this powerful antioxidant known for its immune health properties.
