Seasonal
Garden of Life Herbal Immune Balance
Overview
This product contains a well-rounded combination of essential vitamins and minerals (Vitamin C, D, Zinc, Selenium) at effective dosages, alongside several well-researched herbal extracts and a probiotic, all known for their roles in immune support. While individual ingredients have strong evidence for their efficacy, the 'Citrus C Blend' and 'Herbal Immunity Support Blend' are proprietary, making it difficult to ascertain the exact dosages of all beneficial constituents within these blends. However, the listed amounts for key extracts like Ap-Bio Andrographis (200mg) and Bacillus Coagulans (67mg) are within effective ranges for immune and gut health, respectively.
The Good
Provides a robust dose of Vitamin D (2000 IU), essential for immune system modulation.
Contains effective doses of Vitamin C (250mg), Zinc (15mg), and Selenium (100mcg), crucial micronutrients for immune function.
Includes AP-Bio Andrographis Paniculata (200mg), a well-researched extract for acute respiratory infection support.
The Bad
The use of proprietary blends ('Citrus C Blend' and 'Herbal Immunity Support Blend') obscures the specific dosages of several beneficial ingredients, making it impossible to confirm their individual efficacy.
Angelica sinensis, part of the 'Herbal Immunity Support Blend', may have estrogenic activity, which could be a concern for some individuals.
Potential for interactions with certain medications (e.g., blood thinners, immunosuppressants, thyroid medications) due to multiple herbal components.
