Blackmores Immuno Shield 50

Immuno Shield™ combines botanical medicines and nutrients for the optimal support of healthy immune function.

Features and benefits

• Supports healthy immune and mucous membrane function
• Supports the body's natural resistance
• Supports antioxidant defences against free radicals

How it works
Blackmores Immuno Shield™ contains the herbs echinacea, andrographis and garlic for the optimal support of healthy immune function.
Along with vitamin C and zinc, these herbs support a wide range of the body's immune cells, including those responsible for maintaining resistance.
Betacarotene is converted in the body into vitamin A, which supports the healthy functioning of the mucous membranes, including those of the nose, throat and airways.
