Why We Chose It

Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Immunity is Review Scout’s top choice. This supplement contains all four-essential immune-boosting ingredients Zinc, Glutamine, Elderberry, and Echinacea.

In reviewing dozens of immunity-boosting brands, we found that very few have addressed zinc’s absorption challenge. We were impressed that Stonehenge Health includes turmeric curcumin in 95% strength, which studies have shown to improve zinc absorption. They go a step further and include essential vitamins C, E, and B6, garlic, and the probiotic Lactobacillus Acidophilus, which have all been shown to help improve the immune system’s strength.

This formula does not contain any synthetic fillers, binders, or artificial ingredients. It simply has the critical ingredients listed on the label with their exact dosages, in a vegetarian capsule, and that is it. With a pure and clean formula, Dynamic Immunity has what it takes to help you fight off the cold, flu, and viruses by supporting a robust immune system.

Stonehenge Health backs its products with a no-questions-asked, 90-day money-back guarantee and is one of the few brands to be endorsed by a board-certified physician. We also like that they offer customers discounts on bundles. Click on the link below to see their current specials.

Source Naturals is a popular brand, and their Wellness Formula has been sold for many years. This product contains thirty-one different vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, including zinc, elderberry, and echinacea. We were disappointed to see that with so many ingredients, the product was missing glutamine, critical to immune cells such as T-cells and B-cells, and a method to improve zinc absorption such as turmeric 95% curcumin.

While we applaud Source Naturals’ desire to offer a wide variety of ingredients, it is relatively pointless since many consumers have complained it is too hard to consume the required daily dosage of 6 large gelatin capsules. Complaints of indigestion and heartburn may also be related to the large dosage requirement, the number of ingredients, and the use of gelatin capsules instead of consumer-preferred vegetarian capsules.

Source Naturals website has no mention of any money-back guarantee, and so consumers are stuck relying on what may be a limited return policy from the point of purchase.

Why We Chose It

Olly Active Immunity Gummy is a product popular with those who prefer gummies to take vitamins. This formula contains zinc, elderberry, and echinacea. While it is good to see it has three of the top-four immune-boosting ingredients, the dosages offered are very low, with only 5 mg of zinc, 65 mg of elderberry, and 40 mg of echinacea per serving. These levels are about 20-30% of the amount offered by the top-rated brand on our list, requiring you to take as much as 15 gummies per serving to match it. If you consider that three gummies pack 3 grams of sugar per serving, you would be consuming 15 grams of sugar per day, almost as much as a candy bar, to match the top-rated brand’s dosage level. Olly Active Immunity Gummy’s sugar content may not be appropriate for those watching their blood sugar levels or other health-conscious consumers. Another issue is that Olly is missing glutamine and an ingredient to improve zinc absorption, such as turmeric 95% curcumin. Olly backs their product with a very limited 30-day refund period.

Why We Chose It

Medicove Health Immune Support Supplement contains zinc. We were pleased to see the inclusion of quercetin, which, like turmeric 95% curcumin, is an ionophore that supports zinc absorption. However, the formula lacks the other top-ranking ingredients on our list glutamine, elderberry, and echinacea. While this brand includes vitamin D3, we feel it is essential to consult your physician and arrange for a blood test to determine if you are deficient and to what extent. Vitamin D3 is critical to your health, and formulas containing D3 can give you a false sense that you are achieving optimal levels. This brand’s label directions state you should take two gelatin capsules per day, but the more prominent supplement facts say a serving size is just one capsule per day with 60-servings in a bottle. If you are to follow the directions, the bottle only is offering a 30-day supply. The lack of transparency is concerning. Medicove Health appears to be a brand created for the sole purpose of selling on Amazon. As is such, their website has no mention of any available money-back guarantee, and so consumers are stuck relying on Amazon’s limited return policy.

Why We Chose It

Immuneti Advanced Immune Defense is a product made famous thanks to their massive spending on internet advertising. In recent months, the brand has also become infamous for what appears to be some bait and switch sales techniques. Immuneti advertises that their formula contains zinc, elderberry, echinacea, vitamin C, garlic, vitamin D3, and black pepper. Like most immune-boosting formulas, Immuneti is missing the all-important glutamine and an ingredient to improve zinc absorption, such as turmeric 95% curcumin.

In June of 2020, consumers began complaining that the bottles they received were missing vitamin D3 and black pepper from the label, and the amount of vitamin C went from the advertised 330 mg to 180 mg. Upon inquiry, Immuneti responded saying, “By placing an order you will receive immuneti™ with Vitamin D3.” Unfortunately, that was not the case, and as recent as January 2021, a verified purchaser complained that the bottle received was missing vitamin D3 from the label. The brand even went as far as to state, “Hello, we are happy to say these are authentic immuneti bottles!” An even larger issue for us is that in June of 2020, a consumer inquired, “Are the ingredient amounts listed based on 2 or 4 pill serving?” in which Immuneti replied, “The ingredients listed are for a 4 pill serving.” The label clearly states that the dosages provided are for a serving size of 2 pills. Since there are only 60 capsules in a bottle, based on 4-capsule serving size, each bottle is only a 15-day supply. What may seem like a bargain-priced product is far from that. Ultimately, while some users have reported benefits from taking Immuneti, we recommend avoiding this brand due to the numerous consumer complaints and the limited 30-day return policy.
