How to choose from the collection

Compare the dose per serving and the percentage of the nutrient reference value (NRV) indicated on the label, because the difference between formulas is significant — for zinc, for example, you can find from 15 mg up to 30 mg per capsule. Use the side filters to narrow down by ingredient, brand, price or availability. The collection also includes products with live cultures, propolis, plant extracts, mushrooms, N-acetylcysteine and L-glutamine. If you are taking medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplementation.
