HELPS MAINTAIN A HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM, RELIEVE SYMPTOMS AND REDUCE THE DURATION OF UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS.
Benefits; Used in herbal medicine to help strengthen the immune system. As a flu buster, helps relieve symptoms and reduce the duration of respiratory tract infections. Provides antioxidants. Used as a flu buster, it is recommended to take VITOLI® IMMUNITY as a preventive measure or at the onset of cold or flu symptoms. Prevention should be considered in the spring and fall and can be extended into the winter for people who are more at risk or who have many episodes of infection. Prevention can also be applied to specific occasions of risk. In terms of symptoms, it is recommended that you use VITOLIN® IMMUNITY for 14 days when you experience the first signs of a cold or flu.
Aging better;
The state of the immune system can be considered a marker of biological age and a predictor of longevity (Ponnappan and Ponnappan, 2011). As we age, oxidative levels increase and impair the proper functioning of the immune system. The immune system becomes less efficient and inflammation levels increase, making individuals more susceptible to infections and less receptive to vaccination (Ponnappan and Ponnappan, 2011). Zinc and vitamin D3 are important nutritional supports for the immune system as we age (Prietl et al, 2013; Haase and Rink, 2009).
Professionals:
Astragalus extracts contain polysaccharides and cycloartane triterpene glycosides responsible for biological activity (Ren et al, 2013). The modulation of the immune system is mainly from the polysaccharides (Liu et al, 2010). They stimulate T cells (CD4 and CD8) and reduce inflammation (NFkB, IL-1β and TNF-α ) (Roxas and Jurenka, 2007). Echinacea extracts can be effective, but several analyses have demonstrated the poor quality of some marketed products. Not all compounds found in different species, as well as in different parts of the plant, are equivalent (Barnes et al, 2005). A recent meta-analysis (2015) of 2,458 patients concluded that echinacea is effective in reducing the risk of recurrent infections and complications. This effect would be due to modulation of the immune system, antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects. These effects would be particularly beneficial for individuals at risk (Schapowal et al, 2015). Ingredients:
Provitol®, olive extract (Olea europaea, fruit) The health benefits of olive oil, particularly in strengthening the immune system, are primarily attributable to its polyphenols (Ghanbari et al, 2012) and more specifically, to their modulating effects on metabolic pathways of aging (Menendez et al, 2013). The formulation of Provitol® Complex (2 capsules) is equivalent to 100% of the required dose of hydroxytyrosol for the health claim allowed by EFSA in Europe.
Astragalus root extract Astragalus is a Chinese leguminous plant whose root is widely used to support the immune system. It contains a large number of active molecules and its immune system modulating properties come mainly from its polysaccharides.
Echinacea root extract Echinacea is a plant native to North America. The different species contain different molecules. It is a plant well known for its effects on the immune system and one of the most sold plants worldwide.
Vitamin D3 and zinc Important for many biological processes, vitamin D3 and zinc are particularly important for the proper functioning of the immune system as we age.
A non-medicinal ingredient is any substance added to a natural health product to give the desired consistency or form to the medicinal ingredients. They are therefore fillers, facilitating the filling of capsules. They do not influence the health benefits of the product.

VITOLI IMMUNITÉ - PRÉCAUTIONS
Effets secondaires
Les différents ingrédients du produit Vitoli IMMUNITÉ ne présentent que peu de toxicité particulière
ou sérieuse. Cependant, surtout en présence de doses plus élevées, certains utilisateurs pourraient
rapporter quelques effets secondaires tels : des réactions cutanées (démangeaisons, eczéma, urticaire,
rash allergique), des malaises digestifs (nausée, vomissements), de la fièvre, de la sécheresse de la
bouche, et un mauvais goût.
Les informations cliniques dont nous disposons actuellement nous montrent cependant que le produit
Vitoli IMMUNITÉ présente une efficacité indéniable avec un profil d’effets secondaires rassurant. Il est
toujours possible qu’une hypersensibilité (ex : allergie) à l’un des ingrédients de la préparation se
manifeste. Dans un tel cas il est recommandé de cesser l’utilisation et de consulter un professionnel
de la santé si des symptômes sérieux d’allergie persistent.
Contre-indications
Théoriquement, les patients atteints de maladies auto-immunes devraient surveiller l’exacerbation des
symptômes de leur maladie. Les patients déjà allergiques à l’herbe à poux et/ou au chrysanthème
pourraient avoir une allergie croisée. Surveiller en présence de maladies rénales ou insuffisance rénale.
Interactions
Théoriquement, le produit Vitoli IMMMUNITÉ pourrait interférer avec tout traitement
immunosuppresseur (spéculatif). À éviter avec les médicaments immunosuppresseurs, le
cyclophosphamide, le lithium et tous les médicaments (antibiotiques) de la famille des Tétracyclines
et des Quinolones (avec lesquels le Zinc forme des complexes non absorbés), le Cryvita ( Burosumab)
et le Balversa (Erdafitinib).
Si vous prenez des médicaments d’ordonnance et avez des doutes, vérifiez avec votre pharmacien s’ils
sont compatibles avec le produit Vitoli IMMUNITÉ avant d’en consommer.
Grossesse et allaitement
Il est contre-indiqué de l’utiliser en présence de grossesse et d’allaitement.
Mise en garde
-La prise de ce produit pourrait augmenter la dose de caféine dans le sang.
-La prise de Zinc pourrait exacerber les calculs rénaux uriques (nous considérons qu’il s’agit d’un risque
faible).

Le contenu des plantes médicinales variant naturellement d’un plant à un autre, il y a beaucoup de
variations dans la composition des ingrédients disponibles pour un même produit d’une marque à une
autre. Il est donc fortement recommandé d’utiliser des produits de qualité, ceuxci étant standardisés
pour contenir les quantités suffisantes de substances actives pour chaque plante, ce qui permet leur
efficacité. Les produits Vitoli sont la seule gamme disponible qui garantit la standardisation de tous les
ingrédients utilisés. N.B. L’astragale est standardisée à 30% de polysaccharides, même si l’étiquette
n’en fait pas mention, parce que la réglementation canadienne ne permet pas de l’indiquer.
