Imuno Max by Herballab is an herbal syrup containing echinacea, black elderberry, vitamin C and the prebiotic fibre inulin. It is formulated to support the normal functioning of the immune system and contribute to the body's overall well-being. The formula combines two well-known plants used in traditional and modern herbal products with vitamin C and inulin in a convenient liquid form for daily use.
Echinacea and black elderberry are the main active plant ingredients in the syrup. They are valued for their traditional use in products designed to support immune health. Vitamin C complements the formula through its role in the normal functioning of the immune system, while chicory inulin provides prebiotic fibre that helps support the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria.
Key features of Imuno Max include no added sugar, sweetening with stevia, and suitability for adults and children over 6 years of age when used according to the recommended dosage. The compact 125 ml bottle is a practical choice for home use, particularly during seasons when we pay more attention to the body's natural defence mechanisms.
How does Imuno Max work?
Imuno Max combines active ingredients with complementary functions. The formula is designed to support the immune system and the body's overall condition, while also providing prebiotic fibre to help care for the intestinal microbiota.
- Supports the immune system: echinacea, black elderberry and vitamin C are the key ingredients in the formula, designed to support the body's natural defence mechanisms.
- Contributes to overall well-being: the combination of plant extracts and vitamin C complements everyday care for the body.
- Contains prebiotic fibre: chicory inulin helps support the growth of beneficial intestinal bacteria.
- No added sugar: the syrup is sweetened with stevia, setting it apart from many traditional syrups containing added sugar.
- Suitable for adults and children over 6 years of age: separate recommended dosages are provided for the two age groups.
Echinacea - an active plant ingredient for immune support:
Echinacea is one of the best-known plants used in products designed to support the immune system. It has a long history of use in traditional herbal practices, particularly during seasons when the body faces increased external challenges.
The plant contains various naturally occurring compounds, including alkylamides, caffeic acid derivatives and polysaccharides. Their composition depends on the echinacea species, the plant part used and the extraction method. These compounds are among the reasons why echinacea is of interest in research into the interaction between plant extracts and the immune system.
In Imuno Max, echinacea is included as one of the main active ingredients. It forms part of a formula designed to support the immune system and is combined with black elderberry and vitamin C for complementary support.
Black elderberry - a traditional plant for supporting the body:
Black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is a well-known plant whose berries have traditionally been used in various foods and plant-based products. They contain naturally occurring plant pigments from the anthocyanin group, as well as other polyphenolic compounds that have attracted scientific interest because of their antioxidant properties.
Black elderberry is particularly popular in products intended for seasonal care and well-being. In Imuno Max, it is included as an active plant ingredient alongside echinacea and vitamin C. Black elderberry is therefore not merely an aromatic or supplementary botanical ingredient, but an important part of the syrup's concept of immune support.
The combination of black elderberry and echinacea brings together two plants with an established place in traditional herbal use. However, the effects of individual plant extracts depend on the raw materials used, their composition and the amounts included in a particular product.
Vitamin C - essential for the normal functioning of the immune system:
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin required for a range of physiological processes. It contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It also contributes to normal collagen formation, which is important for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth.
Vitamin C increases iron absorption from food and contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Its presence in Imuno Max complements the plant extracts with a vitamin that has an established physiological role in immune function.
Each 10 ml serving of the syrup contains 40 mg of vitamin C. This amount forms part of the formula intended to support the body as part of daily care.
Chicory inulin - prebiotic care for the intestinal microbiota:
Inulin is a type of soluble plant fibre found naturally in plants such as chicory. It is not fully broken down in the upper digestive tract and can serve as a substrate for certain beneficial intestinal bacteria. For this reason, inulin is classified as a prebiotic.
The intestinal microbiota plays an important role in the complex interaction between the digestive tract and the body's immune mechanisms. Including inulin in Imuno Max adds prebiotic fibre to the formula and extends its focus beyond the combination of plant extracts and vitamin C.
Each 10 ml serving of the syrup provides 100 mg of chicory inulin.
