Overview
•High Vitamin C (1300mg) and zinc (23mg) doses are generally safe short-term but may cause GI upset in sensitive individuals; aligns with immune support studies but exceeds daily needs.
•Herbal components like echinacea and goldenseal can interact with immunosuppressants or blood thinners; consult doctor if on medications.
•Suitable for healthy adults; not recommended for pregnant/nursing women or children under 12 due to limited safety data on herb blends.
•Potential allergens include pollen traces in propolis and herbal extracts; low risk of contamination in reputable manufacturing.
•Long-term use (>2 weeks) may lead to copper imbalance from high zinc; cycle use as directed.
•No major contraindications for most, but avoid in autoimmune conditions due to immune-stimulating herbs.
