About this product

Zinc and vitamin C supply the clearest nutritional rationale. Zinc at 30 mg uses a favorable glycinate source, while vitamin C at 200 mg contributes to normal immune and collagen functions. These roles are most relevant when intake falls short and do not establish added immune protection with adequate nutrition.

The green tea details are more informative than extract weight alone. Ingredient-specific information identifies 375 mg decaffeinated extract with 150 mg EGCG and 60% catechins, though a caffeine amount is not stated. Those markers improve comparison but do not establish slower aging, better cognition or visible skin improvement.

N-acetylcysteine at 600 mg and quercetin at 250 mg broaden the mixture without an established added benefit from the combination in the supplied findings. Their preparation details are limited, and the serving cost is relatively high for zinc and green tea. Copper content is also unestablished, which leaves mineral balance uncertain during ongoing zinc use.

Who is it for
  • Adults specifically seeking zinc and vitamin C alongside decaffeinated green tea, NAC and quercetin.
Best for
  • Combined nutrient support when zinc intake is low and a mixed antioxidant formula is specifically desired.

Pros

  • Zinc glycinate is a favorable source for absorption.
  • Green tea EGCG and catechin content are identified in the ingredient details.
  • Individual active amounts are disclosed.

Cons

  • Relatively high serving cost for zinc and green tea.
  • NAC and quercetin preparation details are limited.
  • The mixture does not establish added cognitive or longevity benefits.
  • Copper content and the precise caffeine amount are not established.

Warnings

  • The 30 mg zinc serving needs to be counted with food and other supplements because total intake can exceed the adult 40 mg daily upper limit.

Product analysis

62 out of 100

Immune Active may help fill zinc and vitamin C gaps that affect normal immune function. The full serving is relatively costly when judged for zinc and green-tea compounds.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality58

The glycinate form of zinc supports favorable absorption. Quality for the remaining ingredients is less certain, and two forms are undisclosed.

Ingredient Transparency85

The declared ingredient amounts are provided, helping you compare serving contents. Zinc, vitamin C and green-tea forms are named, while the other two remain unspecified.

Value For Money33

The serving is relatively costly when considered for zinc and green-tea compounds. Value for the remaining ingredients is uncertain, so their presence does not settle value for the whole formula.

Customer Satisfaction75

Customer ratings are very positive. The small number of responses gives a narrower view of satisfaction.

Product Focus67

The clearest role is meeting zinc and vitamin C needs for normal immune function. Broader skin, aging and other suggested benefits depend on particular preparations or low nutrient intake and cannot be assumed from the mixture.
