The optimum formula to help maintain immune function
Immunace Extra Protection provides an advanced research-based formula of 28 nutrients, including all the benefits of the original Immunace, plus additional nutrients such as natural lycopene, resveratrol, astaxanthin, alpha lipoic acid and extra vitamin D at 1000 IU. Developed by Vitabiotics’ experts, Immunace Extra Protection gives you extra nutritional support with higher daily levels of vitamin D to contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
Extra nutritional protection for your immune system
The nutrients found in Immunace Extra Protection, including vitamins C and E, contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Immunace provides a daily source of vitamin C which is not produced or stored by the body. Immunace Extra Protection combines a synergistic combination of nutrients such as natural lycopene, l-carnitine, resveratrol, astaxanthin, and alpha lipoic acid.
With extra nutrients beyond original Immunace
Additional Vitamin D
Immunace provides a comprehensive formula including additional Vitamin D, Zinc and Selenium which contribute to the normal function of the immune system, plus folate which contributes to normal blood formation. Immunace was one of the UK’s first immune system supplements to pioneer and recognise that Vitamin D not only contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and muscle function, but also contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
New research shows that optimum intake levels of vitamin D may be higher than previously thought. Each tablet of Immunace Extra Protection contains an optimum level of 25 µg (1,000 IU) of vitamin D3, which is the specific form made naturally by the human body and therefore preferred over D2 which is found in some supplements.
Lycopene extract
Lycopene is the bright red carotenoid pigment found in tomatoes. Lycopene is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of many carotenoids, including beta-carotene. Lycopene is not synthesised in the body and must be obtained from the diet.
Resveratrol
Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes. Resveratrol may contribute to cardiovascular health and has been identified as one of the protective substances found in red wine.
Comprehensive micronutrient support
Immunace Extra Protection provides a comprehensive range of vitamins and minerals. The Immunace formula was originally developed in conjunction with an international expert in nutrient research, based on scientific evidence of the role of specific nutrients in the normal function of the immune system.

Certain vitamins are very safe at levels tens or even hundreds of times the NRV, whereas for others the safety level is much closer to the NRV. For this reason every vitamin and mineral needs to be considered on an individual basis in terms of its upper safe level.
The Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) is the amount of a vitamin or mineral which has been calculated to help prevent basic deficiency states in the general population. However, certain vitamins and minerals at optimal levels, above the NRV, have consistently been shown to have positive benefits in specific areas of health. This is why some Vitabiotics formulas have certain nutrient levels greater than 100% NRV.
All Vitabiotics products have been developed using the latest research and contain effective levels of vitamins and minerals, while avoiding any excessive amounts, in accordance with official upper safe limits for vitamins and minerals.
Vitabiotics avoids ’mega dose’ levels of isolated nutrients and instead we have always stressed the importance of safe, moderate and sensible levels of vitamins and minerals, carefully balanced to maximise their combined effect; an approach which has been supported by many experts and researchers over the years.
