LungShield Immune Plus Effervescent Tabs 10

LungShield Immune Plus is a comprehensive effervescent built for the respiratory season. Each tablet supplies 1000mg vitamin C and 1000IU vitamin D3 together with 200mg black elderberry, echinacea, ginger root, green tea extract, 100mg alpha-lipoic acid, zinc and vitamins A, B1, B6 and B12. The plant extracts add antiviral and antioxidant support that a plain vitamin C fizzy does not have. The 10-tablet tube is ideal as a short course when you feel something coming on or when the household is ill. Vitamin C is water-soluble and cannot be stored, so immune cells rely on a regular supply. It is also the cofactor for collagen formation, which makes it important for skin, gums and wound healing. Black elderberry is rich in anthocyanins that interfere with the ability of cold and flu viruses to enter cells. Echinacea purpurea stimulates the activity of macrophages and natural killer cells, the immune system's first responders, and has been shown to shorten the duration of colds when started early.

When a cold goes to your chest every single time, you need more than vitamin C on its own. Requirements rise during infection, stress, smoking and recovery from illness, exactly when appetite for fresh fruit and vegetables tends to drop.
