Frequently Asked Questions "FAQ":

FAQ 1 — What is Immuncare?

Immuncare is a food supplement in vegetable capsules containing vitamin D3, calcium, coenzyme Q10, zinc, copper, selenium, and vitamin K2. The recommended daily dose is 1 capsule per day, preferably taken after dinner. The product does not contain gluten, lactose, colorants, or added flavors.

FAQ 2 — Why is vitamin D3 the central ingredient of Immuncare?

Vitamin D3 is the nutrient with the most documented functions in Annex 12 of the FOPH FSIS among those present in IMMUNCARE. It contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, the maintenance of normal bones, and normal muscle function. Each Immuncare capsule provides 10 μg of vitamin D3, equivalent to 200% of the nutrient reference value (NRV) for adults.

FAQ 3 — What is the role of calcium in Immuncare and why is it present alongside vitamin D3?

Calcium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal muscle function, normal neurotransmission, and normal blood clotting. Vitamin D3 contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus: their simultaneous presence in the formula reflects the physiological relationship between these two nutrients documented by scientific research. Each capsule provides 200 mg of calcium, equivalent to 25% of the NRV.

FAQ 4 — What is the purpose of vitamin K2 present in Immuncare?

Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal blood clotting. Each capsule provides 75 μg of vitamin K2, equivalent to 100% of the NRV. Mandatory warning: from a daily dose of 25 μg of vitamin K, patients taking anticoagulant medications must consult their doctor before taking this product.

FAQ 5 — What is the role of zinc in Immuncare?

Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the protection of cells from oxidative stress, the maintenance of normal bones, and normal cognitive function. Each capsule provides 5 mg of zinc gluconate, organic form, equivalent to 50% of the NRV. The daily dose of Immuncare is below the maximum limit of 5.3 mg per recommended daily dose provided by the FOPH FSIS.

FAQ 6 — What does copper contribute to in Immuncare?

Copper contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and the normal transport of iron in the body. It is present in the form of copper gluconate, an organic form. Each capsule provides 0.2 mg of copper, equivalent to 20% of the NRV.

FAQ 7 — What is the role of selenium in Immuncare?

Selenium contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and normal thyroid function. It is present in the form of L-selenomethionine, the most studied and characterized organic form of selenium in terms of bioavailability. Each capsule provides 55 μg of selenium, equivalent to 100% of the NRV and within the safety limits provided by the FOPH FSIS (maximum limit: 165 μg/day).

FAQ 8 — What is coenzyme Q10 and why is it present in Immuncare?

Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) is a fat-soluble molecule naturally present in the cell membranes of all aerobic organisms, with the highest concentration in organs with high energy requirements. It is listed in Annex 1 of the FOPH FSIS among the substances permitted in food supplements. The CoQ10 in Immuncare is obtained from natural fermentation. Each capsule provides 50 mg of CoQ10, within the limits provided by the FOPH FSIS (maximum limit: 200 mg/day).

FAQ 9 — What is meant by minerals in organic form?

The organic form of a mineral indicates that the mineral element is bound to an organic molecule — an amino acid, an organic acid, or a gluconate — rather than an inorganic ion such as a carbonate or an oxide. In Immuncare, zinc gluconate, copper gluconate, and L-selenomethionine are present in organic form. Calcium is present as calcium carbonate.

FAQ 10 — How and when should Immuncare be taken?

It is recommended to take 1 capsule daily after dinner, with a glass of water. Evening intake is consistent with the fat-soluble profile of vitamin D3 and vitamin K2, which benefit from the lipid intake typically present in the evening meal. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

FAQ 11 — Who can take Immuncare?

The product is intended for adults. It is not indicated for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for children, unless otherwise advised by a doctor. Those taking anticoagulant medications should not take this product without first consulting their doctor, due to the vitamin K2 content (75 μg per capsule). In case of thyroid conditions or other ongoing clinical conditions, it is recommended to consult a doctor before taking it.

FAQ 12 — Is Immuncare suitable for vegans and vegetarians?

Yes. The capsule is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a plant-derived material free from animal gelatin. The product does not contain animal ingredients. It is suitable for those following a vegan or vegetarian diet.

FAQ 13 — Does Immuncare contain allergens?

None of the ingredients in Immuncare belong to the allergenic categories subject to mandatory declaration according to the FOPH FSIS, Annex 6. The product does not contain gluten, milk, eggs, soy, nuts, fish, crustaceans, or other allergens requiring mandatory declaration. In case of known individual hypersensitivity to one or more components of the formula, it is recommended to consult a doctor before taking it.

FAQ 14 — Can Immuncare be taken with other supplements or medications?

Immuncare is a food supplement, not a medicine. Those taking anticoagulant medications (e.g., warfarin, acenocoumarol) should not take Immuncare without prior medical consultation, due to the vitamin K2 content. For all other drug therapies, it is recommended to inform your doctor or pharmacist before taking it. Do not take other supplements containing vitamin D, calcium, zinc, or selenium at the same time without evaluating the total daily intake against the maximum limits provided by the FOPH FSIS.

FAQ 15 — How should Immuncare be stored?

Store in a cool, dry place, at a temperature not exceeding 25°C, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After opening, close the container tightly. Do not expose to the sun. Preferably consume by the date indicated on the package. Keep out of reach of small children.
