    The Immune Elixir

    Our verdict

    Straightforward and fairly priced. Vitamin C and zinc are the workhorses. Best used seasonally rather than all year round, given the zinc content.

    Pros

    • +Vitamin C and zinc at sensible doses
    • +Reasonable monthly price
    • +Easy seasonal use

    Cons

    • -Elderberry and echinacea evidence is weak
    • -Long-term zinc can affect copper levels
    • -Duplicate if you take the greens too

    Evidence

    Zinc taken early may modestly shorten cold duration. Vitamin C shows small effects on duration rather than prevention in most people.

    Dose

    Two capsules daily during colder months

    Best for

    • · Winter months
    • · Frequent colds
    • · Travel-heavy periods

    Not for

    • · Autoimmune conditions on immunosuppressants without GP advice
