VivoMega™† (Omega 3 Fish Oil): 1.5 grams
VivoMega is a highly concentrated omega 3 fish oil, providing ultra-pure and specific amounts of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexanenoic acid). This ingredient is produced in Norway and has been clinically studied for numerous health benefits. While the vast cardiovascular health benefits of fish oil are widely known and studied, this ingredient is included in this formulation for its effects on promoting immune health, normal respiratory function and supporting a well-balanced immune system. *

A large body of scientific evidence has shown that EPA and DHA support a healthy immune system. Omega-3 (EPA and DHA) and omega-6 (arachidonic acid) fatty acids form the framework of cell membranes that surrounds the cells in our body.  Recent evidence indicates that omega-3s help maintain the health of immune cell membranes that support receptors, enzymes, and cytokines in the body. Research shows EPA and DHA work to support the body’s normal immune response and when converted to specialized mediators in the body, these nutrients support the body’s ability to balance immune and inflammatory responses.  Studies also show that omega-3 EPA and DHA may also promote the normal function of white blood cells. * 

ThymoQuin (Black Cumin Seed Extract Oil): 500 mg
ThymoQuin, a clinically studied ingredient standardized to 3% thymoquinone content from black cumin seed, promotes healthy immune cell activity. ThymoQuin coupled with VivoMega fish oil gives this product unique capacity for supporting the body’s ability to balance immune and inflammatory responses. *

How does VivoQuin ThymoQuin and Fish Oil compare to other immune products such as Shopping Annuity Brand Premium Immune + Formula or Isotonix® Immune Powder Drink?
Other immune products we have create a white blood cell (Neutrophil) response and are focused on immune cells themselves. While VivoQuin is dually focused on the body’s ability to balance immune and inflammatory responses. *
