Who is Immune Intensive Capsules Intended for and how to use?Updated an hour ago
Immune Intensive Capsules
Immune Intensive Capsules are a short-course, high-potency immune support formula designed for the moments when your immune system needs extra resources quickly. Developed by Dr. Lynch, the formula is intended for adults and children ages 4 and up who want meaningful nutrient support when their body is most active, whether they feel run down, notice they are "off" without a clear reason, or are heading into high-exposure situations such as air travel. Rather than the modest amounts found in a daily multivitamin, it delivers substantial levels of well-absorbed nutrients and botanicals so the immune system has what it needs to mount a healthy response.†
How It Works
This formula supplies the immune system with a large, usable supply of key nutrients in bioavailable forms at the time it needs them most. Andrographis, standardized as ParActin®, provides research-supported botanical support for a healthy immune response, while a highly absorbable zinc bisglycinate is paired with Quercefit®, a quercetin phytosome that acts as a zinc ionophore to help carry zinc across cell membranes and into the cells where it is used. Well-absorbed selenium, a full gram of vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin D3 round out the immune-supporting nutrients, and vitamin K2 is included alongside D3 to help direct calcium appropriately. Together these ingredients are dosed to be meaningful over a short window of use, and taking them with a full meal that contains some fat supports absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D3, and K2.†
Key Ingredients
Andrographis (ParActin®) is a standardized botanical extract of Andrographis paniculata, supplied as the branded ParActin® ingredient for consistent potency. It has been studied in controlled trials, and a meta-analysis found it outperformed placebo in supporting a healthy immune response and helping optimize the length of an active immune response. In this formula, it serves as the primary botanical driver of short-term immune support, distinguishing it from a typical daily herbal product.†
Quercetin (Quercefit®) is a quercetin phytosome, a form engineered to overcome the poor absorption of standard quercetin, with up to 20 times greater bioavailability. Quercetin is one of the few natural compounds shown to function as a zinc ionophore, meaning it helps transport zinc across the cell membrane rather than leaving it in the gut. In this formula, Quercefit® is paired with zinc so the quercetin and zinc combination can work as the research describes instead of passing through unused.†
Zinc Bisglycinate (Albion® TRAACS®) is a chelated form of zinc bound to the amino acid glycine, produced under the Albion® TRAACS® standard for quality and absorption. Many zinc forms used in supplements are poorly absorbed, while this chelate is designed to be efficiently taken up and retained by the body. Zinc is essential for normal immune function, and in this formula it is provided at a potent level, with Quercefit® helping move it into cells where it is needed.†
Vitamin K2 (VitaMK7® by Gnosis) is supplied as menaquinone-7, a long-acting form of vitamin K2. Because vitamin D3 increases how much calcium the body absorbs, K2 is included to help direct that calcium into bone rather than soft tissues such as the arteries. In this formula, it serves as a balancing partner to the vitamin D3, supporting healthy calcium utilization during short-term, higher-dose use.†
Suggested Use
Take 2 capsules after a full meal at the first sign of needing additional immune system support, continuing for up to 14 days before stopping, or use as directed by your healthcare professional.†
How to Store
Keep closed in a cool, dry place out of reach of children.
Suitability
Immune Intensive Capsules are intended for people who want fast, as-needed immune support rather than a daily, year-round supplement. The formula is suitable for those with methylation sensitivities, for vegetarians and vegans, for breastfeeding individuals, and for ages 4 and up. It is a good fit for anyone who feels their immune system is working overtime, feels vaguely under the weather, wants consistent support on hand for when illness is going around, or wants additional wellness support before and after flying or traveling. Those who are unable to swallow capsules may prefer Immune Intensive Liquid, which delivers similar core nutrients in a liposomal liquid format.
Cautions & Warnings
Do not use this product if you are pregnant. Because it contains a potent amount of zinc, it should always be taken after a full meal rather than on an empty stomach or with only a light snack, as doing so commonly causes nausea. This product is not intended for daily, long-term use and should be stopped after the recommended short course. Individuals with a diagnosed zinc sensitivity or a copper deficiency concern should avoid this product or consult a healthcare provider before use, and anyone who is taking medications, managing a health condition, or giving this product to a child should speak with a qualified healthcare professional first.
