Our formulas are the result of research and world-wide data that show patterns in people who have better health, fewer and/or less severe consequences from disease, and what we need to duplicate that.
Why These 9 Ingredients?
Here’s what makes up Immunity Armor Gold, and why it’s there:
1) Zinc: Well known as an immunity booster against colds and flu, zinc also has anti-inflammatory properties. Low zinc levels have been correlated with poorer outcomes of virus patients, and are associated with a lack of taste/smell that can occur.
2) Quercetin: Aside from being an anti-oxidant & anti-inflammatory, quercetin also acts as an escort (ionophore) for zinc into the body’s cells which is essential for it to be effective.
3) Vitamin D: By now, almost everybody has heard that higher Vitamin D levels in the blood have been correlated with remarkedly better outcomes against viral attacks, upper respiratory infections, as well as lower incidence of cancer and heart attack.
4) Calcium: Not only do our teeth & bones need it along with vitamin D, but calcium helps regulate the body’s ph, and is essential for normal cardiac and respiratory function.
5) Vitamin K2: This vitamin has so many benefits, and it’s essential when taking both calcium and vitamin D. Vitamin D controls the absorption of calcium, and K2 controls where that calcium goes. Without it, your body can experience arterial calcification, increasing the likelihood of cancer, heart attack, stroke and kidney stones.
6) Magnesium: Also an essential part of the Calcium and Vitamin D balancing act.
7) Vitamin C: Has a well-earned reputation for boosting the immune system, as well as reducing inflammation, and helping avoid/fight pneumonia.
8) Selenium: Already known to be a factor in fighting viral diseases, low Selenium levels were also correlated to poorer outcomes in the 2020 pandemic.
9) CoQ10: Aside from its broad spectrum of benefits to the body, CoQ10 is in this formula because it helps fight fatigue at the cellular level when the body is under attack.

Warnings:
As with any supplement you put in your body, you should always check with your doctor first. Specifically, K2 (MK7 form) could cause problems if blood thinners (specifically Warfarin) are being taken. Quercetin should be avoided by those with Hyper-Thyroidism (like Graves’ disease).
Try to avoid High Fructose Corn Syrups when taking Vitamin D- it hinders the benefits of Vitamin D.
Since Vitamins D, K2, and CoQ10 are fat soluble, they are more effective when taken with foods that have fat content (i.e., milk, olive oil, eggs, some nuts, peanut butter, fish…ya, probably donuts too, but maybe consider Dark Chocolate instead!). So, mix Immunity Armor in 16oz of water, and chase it with one of the above for absolute best absorption. Shoot for 12+g of fat in whichever meal you choose to take Immunity Armor with.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I take Immunity Armor?
Try to take it at roughly the same time period each day, and make sure the food you take it with has at least 10-15g of fat content for best absorption. Different people find reasons to use it at different times of the day, so experiment with the time of day, based on the benefits you notice. Some use it after dinner for the healthier sleep experience, others like starting the day with it.
Are there any side effects?
There are no known side effects, in general, but please read each ingredient on the label and make sure you do not have any conflicts or reactions to the individual ingredients, based on your medical history.
How much should I take?
If you’re not sure how it will affect you (especially if you have a low BMI or body weight), try taking half a scoop per day for the first week or so, and work up to your most beneficial level, based on your experience.
Is Immunity Armor safe for children?
It’s not recommended for children. But if given to children, the dosage would have to be cut down proportionally for body weight/mass being much lower. Regardless, do not give to children without a doctor’s permission.
What if I don't like the Citrus-Ginger taste?
Try adding a few ounces of your favorite juice. Some people do that and others add it to a smoothie.
What do we think of green mixes?
We like some of them, and we alternate between a couple of them ourselves. What they can do for you is- provide your body with some of the nutrients that you want to get, but either don’t like the taste of, or maybe don’t have the time to make for yourself. What they cannot do is- provide the fiber that is a part of the benefit that vegetables have to offer, and they do not guarantee that you are getting a consistent amount of each ingredient. So, if you want to supplement with 140mg of Magnesium, or 600mg of Calcium, etc., a greens mix really won’t consistently provide that kind of accurate benefit. And in this case, no greens mix will come close to the amount of each ingredient in Immunity Armor Gold.
Can Immunity Armor give me superpowers?
While we believe that it does prove you are smarter, we have no evidence to that effect…not yet anyway.
Will I still need a vaccine for COVID-19 or a flu?
If you were already considering taking a vaccine or a flu shot, then we’d recommend going ahead with that. Either way, Immunity Armor is intended to be an added layer of protection.
