Product Information

What Is IMMULIN PLUS® Used For?

IMMULIN PLUS® is intended to supplement a balanced diet and support general wellbeing. It may be considered for:

• Supporting normal immune-system function.
• Providing naturally occurring botanical antioxidants.
• General nutritional support during seasonal changes.
• Supporting wellbeing during periods of cough, cold or flu-like symptoms.
• Adults and children who prefer a liquid supplement.
• Families seeking a convenient black elderberry product for year-round use.

IMMULIN PLUS® does not guarantee protection against colds, influenza or other respiratory infections. It should not replace appropriate hygiene, vaccination, rest, hydration or medical treatment.

What Does IMMULIN PLUS® Contain?

Black Elderberry Extract

Black elderberry is the dark-purple fruit of the European elder tree, scientifically known as Sambucus nigra.

The fruit naturally contains plant compounds such as:

• Anthocyanins.
• Flavonoids.
• Polyphenols.
• Phenolic acids.

These compounds have antioxidant properties that help protect cells against oxidative stress. Refer to the physical product label for the complete ingredient list, elderberry concentration, sweeteners, preservatives and allergen information.

How Does Black Elderberry Support Wellbeing?

Black elderberry contains naturally occurring antioxidants and bioactive plant compounds. Antioxidants help protect the body’s cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals.

Some studies suggest that properly manufactured elderberry preparations may help relieve certain symptoms associated with colds, influenza or other upper-respiratory illnesses. However, the evidence remains limited, and not all clinical studies have found a significant benefit.

IMMULIN PLUS® should therefore be positioned as supportive nutrition rather than as a treatment or guaranteed method of preventing respiratory illness.

Key Benefits

• Contains black elderberry extract.
• Provides naturally occurring antioxidant compounds.
• Supports normal immune-system function.
• Supports general health and wellbeing.
• Convenient liquid format.
• Pleasant black elderberry flavour.
• Suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and above.
• Provides age-specific serving directions for family use.
• Can be incorporated into a year-round nutritional routine.

Recommended Serving and Directions

Shake the bottle well before each use. Measure the liquid accurately using a suitable medicine cup or graduated measuring spoon.

Important: Follow the directions printed on the current physical product packaging. Do not exceed the recommended serving unless advised by a qualified healthcare professional.

How to Administer IMMULIN PLUS®

1. Wash your hands before handling the bottle and measuring device.
2. Shake the bottle well.
3. Measure the correct amount for the user’s age.
4. Dilute the serving for children aged 2–5 years as directed.
5. Administer the product orally.
6. Wash and dry the measuring device after each use.
7. Close the bottle tightly after use.

Do not estimate the serving using an ordinary household spoon, as spoon sizes can vary.

Can IMMULIN PLUS® Prevent Colds or Influenza?

No herbal supplement can guarantee that a person will not develop a cold, influenza or another respiratory infection.

Research suggests that elderberry may help relieve certain upper-respiratory symptoms in some individuals, but findings are inconsistent. It has not been conclusively shown to prevent the common cold or replace influenza vaccination.

IMMULIN PLUS® should therefore be used as a supportive botanical beverage rather than as a substitute for evidence-based preventive measures or medical treatment.

Possible Side Effects

Properly manufactured elderberry products are generally intended to be consumed according to their labelled directions. Individual tolerance may vary.

Possible adverse effects may include:

• Nausea.
• Abdominal discomfort.
• Vomiting.
• Diarrhoea.
• Allergic rash or itching.
• Another unexpected sensitivity reaction.

Stop taking the product and seek medical advice if an adverse effect is persistent, severe or concerning.

Seek urgent medical assistance if facial or throat swelling, wheezing, breathing difficulty, widespread rash or another severe allergic reaction occurs.

Elderberry Safety Information

Raw or unripe elderberries and other parts of the elder plant may contain naturally occurring substances that can cause nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea. Only properly manufactured commercial elderberry preparations should be consumed.

Do not attempt to replace this product with homemade preparations containing raw elderberries, leaves, bark, stems or unripe fruit.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

There is insufficient reliable information to confirm the safety of elderberry supplementation during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a doctor, pharmacist or other qualified healthcare professional before taking IMMULIN PLUS®.

When Should You See a Doctor?

Seek medical advice if cough, cold or flu-like symptoms are persistent, worsening or unusually severe.

Prompt medical assessment is particularly important when symptoms include:

• Persistent or high fever.
• Severe weakness, confusion or unusual drowsiness.
• Dehydration or inability to keep fluids down.
• Blue, grey or unusually pale lips or skin.

• Symptoms in an infant, elderly person or individual with a chronic medical condition.

Seek emergency medical attention for severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, fainting, confusion or bluish discolouration of the lips.

• Eating a varied and balanced diet.
• Obtaining adequate sleep.
• Maintaining appropriate hydration.
• Participating in regular physical activity.
• Washing hands regularly.
• Avoiding close contact with vulnerable individuals when unwell.
