Did You Know?
According to studies, it is estimated that employees in the United States miss over 111 million workdays annually to the flu, resulting in $16.3 billion in lost earnings each year.
It is estimated that between lost work, doctor visits, and cold medicine that the common cold costs the US economy over $40 billion a year.
That many experts suggest 2 to 3 days of reduced exercise intensity for every 1 day that you’re sick. So, if you were sick for 5 days, that would be 10 to 15 days to build back up to your previous workout intensity.
Some Things to Think About:
We live in a fast paced world where even a day or two of sickness can cost us more than ever before in terms of work, productivity, athletic and academic goals and achievements, our personal lives, and more.
For those that work out, think about the countless hours that are spent on proper exercise and nutrition in hopes of achieving the greatest gains possible; then think about how hard those gains are to achieve but yet how quickly they can go away due to times of sickness.

Let’s Examine the Ingredients:
Elderberry Extract (Sambucus) – 750 mg.
Elderberry extract is commonly used to help prevent and ease cold and flu symptoms and has a very long and storied history of use.
Elderberry extract, commonly known by its Latin name, Sambucus nigra, has traditionally been used as a remedy to promote health and well-being; and in recent years, researchers have proven its efficiency in clinical trials, with many experts recommending Elderberry to help prevent and ease cold and flu symptoms.
Elderberry extract has been used for centuries to help support the immune system, especially during the winter months or when experiencing extra stress. More and more people have started using Elderberry year round to help boost the immune system which makes sense as the level of stress in most people’s daily lives continues to increase.
Elderberry is packed with many naturally occurring vitamin and antioxidant constituents including rutin, quercetin (flavonoids), and anthocyanins that are known to provide complimentary immune-supportive benefits.
One facet of the anthocyanin content of Elderberry is that anthocyanins are anti-allergenic and support reducing the symptoms of allergic rhinitis (hay fever) such as runny nose, and more.
In addition to its potential immune enhancing benefits, Elderberry is also commonly used for sinus pain, sciatica, nerve pain (neuralgia), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and to help ease inflammation.
Black Currant – 500 mg.
Black Currant (Ribes nigrum) contains a high concentration of Vitamin C, antioxidants, polyphenols, anthocyanins, and gamma-linoleic acid (GLA). These provide potent antioxidant protection and may help strengthen the immune system, soothe sore throats, ease flu symptoms, and much more.
Black Currant has a wide range of properties including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant, and more. In addition to its potential immune enhancing benefits, Black Currant is also commonly used to for a variety of issues including helping reduce eye fatigue and discomfort, muscle fatigue, cholesterol, oxidative stress, improved blood flow, gastrointestinal health, and more. Black Currant may even help promote the healthy growth of hair, skin, and nails. Also due to its gamma-linoleic acid and anthocyanin content, it has potent anti-inflammatory properties and may help ease inflammation in the body.
Interesting note: For a long time, Black Currants were called ‘the forbidden fruit’ in the United States because they were banned from being grown because they were thought to negatively impact the logging industry. Because of this, many Americans missed out on the benefits of these nutritious berries while those in the United Kingdom used them for flavoring, juices, jams, and much more.
Elderberries and Black Currant both provide potent antioxidant action which makes them a great combination for supporting the immune system which is why both are included in Immune Support XT.
Olive Leaf Extract – 400 mg.
Olive leaf is one of the most popular and widely known supplements for helping support healthy immune function. It has potent antioxidant benefits and antiviral benefits.
The Olive Leaf Extract used in Immune Support XT is standardized to a minimum 20% Oleuropein.
Oleuropein has antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antioxidant benefits and is the key constituent in Olive Leaf that has been identified as delivering its health benefits.
By using a standardized extract, it assures that there are specific measurable levels of this important compound in order to deliver maximum results.
In addition to its antiviral and immune enhancing benefits, Olive Leaf Extract may also help support blood sugar regulation, fat loss, thyroid function, and much more.
Interesting note: Ever hear of the Mediterranean diet and its host of benefits for overall improved health? The Mediterranean diet is heavy on olive oil. Olive Leaf Extract, just as the name sounds, is derived from the leaves of olives.
Quercefit Quercetin Phytosome – 250 mg.
Quercetin is a natural flavonoid compound that is very popular for immune support, respiratory health, and allergies. In recent years, it has received a great deal of attention because of it’s great number of important biological activities.
A big hurdle with Quercetin supplementation has always been that due to poor oral bioavailability, a high daily dosage of Quercetin has generally needed to achieve desired results.
Quercefit® is a specialized phytosomal form of quercetin that optimizes absorption and is up to 20x more bioavailable than regular Quercetin supplements.
Immune Support:
Quercefit® has been shown in clinical studies to help maintain immune system health and modulate cytokine cascades due to its senolytic functions.
Allergies:
Quercetin has been widely studied for its potential allergy benefits. As positive as the results have been, a holdback for many people has always been that the poor oral bioavailability meant having to use very high dosages (a lot of capsules per day) to see potential allergy related benefits.
As a form of Quercetin with greatly enhanced oral bioavailability, Quercefit® packs all of the benefits of Quercetin for allergy suffers at a much lower dosage.
Physical Performance:
Quercefit® has been shown in studies to support optimal physical performance and promote improved recovery. In one study on triathlon athletes, Quercefit® was shown to optimize training and performance and a leveling of oxidative stress.
Body-Composition:
Quercefit® has shown muscle building and fat loss properties, especially when used with whey protein. One study showed significant abdominal fat loss, visceral fat loss, subcutaneous fat loss, and reduced waist circumference.
Echinacea (Std. to min 4% Echinacosides) – 250 mg.
Echinacea is a plant whose roots and leaves have traditionally been used for medicinal purposes and is one of the most popular and commonly used herbs used to help promote healthy immune function.
Echinacea is commonly used either in response to or for daily prevention of the common cold. Some studies have shown that Echinacea can reduce the odds of developing a cold by up to 58% and reduce the duration by 1 to 4 days.
Echinacea is widely used to help fight infections, especially the common cold and the flu. Echinacea has been identified as having anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiviral properties and as an immune strengthening agent. It has been shown to enhance the immune system and reduce many of the symptoms of colds, flu, and some other illnesses, infections, and conditions.
The Echinacea Extract used in Immune Support XT is standardized to a minimum 4% Echinacosides, the key constituent in Echinacea that has been identified as delivering its potent immune enhancing benefits and standardization assures specific measurable levels of the important compounds needed in order to achieve desired results.
In addition to its potential immune enhancing benefits, Echinacea may also be used to help control blood sugar, aid in healthy cell growth, support anxiety management, lower blood pressure, and reduce inflammation.
Grape Seed Extract – 100 mg.
Grape Seed Extract is rich in antioxidants, including phenolic acids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and is one of the best known sources of oligomeric proanthocyanin complexes (OPC’s). OPC’s are a powerful antioxidant responsible for most of the benefits of grape seed extract.
Grape Seed Extract is commonly used to increase antioxidant levels in the body to help promote a healthy immune system to fight off bacterial and viral infections.
Grape Seed Extract also shows potential as a natural remedy for allergy relief. Its antioxidant properties combined with its ability to reduce histamine release and decrease inflammation make it an excellent ingredient for those seeking seasonal allergy relief.
In addition to its potent immune enhancing benefits, the active constituents in Grape Seed Extract have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protective benefits for several areas of the body and bodily processes. Grape Seed Extract can be used to help counteract the effects of free radicals and help reduce inflammation and may also have positive benefits on bone and joint health, improved collagen synthesis, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, cardiovascular health, blood flow, cognitive function, skin health, anti-aging benefits, protect against oxidative stress, and much more.
Vitamin C – 500 mg.
Vitamin C is one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, working to protect the body from free radicals.
As a water-soluble vitamin, Vitamin C is not stored in the body and must be regularly replaced through diet or supplementation (the body cannot make it on its own).
Vitamin C is commonly used to help support improved immune function and to help prevent and treat symptoms of the common cold. Research has also shown that Vitamin C supplementation can reduce the duration of colds by anywhere between 5% and 21%.
Vitamin C has been shown to reduce incidence of colds by up to a remarkable 50% among people undergoing heavy stress, such as soldiers and athletes.
In addition to its potent antioxidant properties, Vitamin C helps protect your cells from damage and can help reduce the severity of seasonal allergies by slowing down the overreaction by the body to environmental triggers by decreasing the body’s histamine production.
Zinc is a mineral that is important to the body in so many ways. Zinc exerts a powerful antioxidant activity and is most well-known for its immune system benefits in helping the body fight off invading bacteria and viruses and potentially shortening the duration of the common cold.
Zinc has also been shown to relieve symptoms of respiratory allergies, as well as to have a protective effect on the respiratory system.
In addition to these powerful immune enhancing benefits, zinc may also help heal wounds, support normal growth, promote healthy skin and vision, is involved in the synthesis of collagen in bone tissue, promotes healthy cardiovascular and neurological function, and has potent anti-aging benefits.
Zinc is also an essential component of superoxide dismutase, one of the body’s most powerful natural antioxidants.
As with most minerals – the type or form of the mineral that you supplement with matters.
Immune Support XT uses Albion’s Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate for maximum results.
Selenium is a mineral that plays an important role in a wide variety of bodily processes and is commonly used to help boost the immune system, support respiratory health, and more.
Selenium is important for both initiating immunity and also involved in regulating excessive immune responses and chronic inflammation. This is very important for optimal immune system health.
Selenium has been shown to help support seasonal allergy release by helping to modify mast cell degranulation, which can subsequently prevent histamine release.
In addition to the above benefits, Selenium can also support a health metabolism, thyroid function, help protect against mental decline, support cardiovascular health, reduce the risk of certain cancers, and more.
As with most minerals – the type or form of the mineral that you supplement with matters.
Immune Support XT uses Albion’s Selenium Glycinate Complex for maximum results.
