Analysis

MegaFood's Daily Immune Support is designed for daily immune maintenance, featuring a thoughtful combination of Vitamin C (90mg Ascorbic Acid), Vitamin D3 (15mcg Cholecalciferol), and Zinc (6mg Zinc Bisglycinate), all in well-absorbed forms. It also includes 500mg of Astragalus, provided as a whole herb. This blend provides foundational support for immune function, aligning well with the immunity goal. While it doesn't offer the multi-herb complexity of some other immune formulas, its focus on essential micronutrients alongside Astragalus makes it effective. At 38 cents per serving, it's on the pricier side for its composition, but MegaFood's commitment to quality and whole-food nutrition may justify the cost for some consumers.

Pros
  • Contains essential immune-supporting vitamins (C, D3, Zinc) in bioavailable forms.
  • Includes a good dose of 500mg Astragalus (whole herb).
  • Supports overall immunity effectively.
  • Reputable brand known for quality and 'FoodState' nutrients.
Cons
  • Higher price per serving (38 cents) compared to other immune blends or pure Astragalus products.
  • Astragalus is in whole herb form, which is less concentrated than extracts.
Warnings
  • Individuals with autoimmune conditions should consult a healthcare professional regarding Astragalus use.
  • Zinc supplementation should be balanced with copper intake for long-term use.
