What Is Herbalife Immune Booster and How Do You Take It?

What is Herbalife Immune Booster?

Herbalife Immune Booster is a powdered food supplement from Herbalife's Targeted Nutrition range. It comes as a box of 21 sachets, each containing 3.7 g of berry-flavoured powder that you dissolve in water to make a light, fruity drink.

The formula combines four well-known micronutrients - vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc and selenium - with EpiCor, a dried yeast fermentate included at 500 mg per serving. Vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc and selenium each contribute to the normal function of the immune system, which is the thinking behind the product's name. You can read the official listing on the Herbalife UK website.

A few practical details worth knowing up front: it's vegan friendly, gluten-free, sweetened with steviol glycosides from stevia leaves, and the berry colour and flavour come from elderberry fruit juice powder and beetroot red rather than artificial colourings.

What are the ingredients in Herbalife Immune Booster?

Here's what one sachet (3.7 g, mixed with 150 ml of water) provides, with the percentage of your daily reference intake (RI):

Nutrient	Per sachet	% RI
Vitamin C	80 mg	100%
Vitamin D	10 µg	200%
Zinc	3.0 mg	30%
Selenium	55 µg	100%
EpiCor dried yeast fermentate	500 mg	-

The full ingredients list is short and easy to read: maltodextrin, dried yeast fermentate EpiCor (made using Saccharomyces cerevisiae), elderberry fruit juice powder, citric acid, acacia gum, xanthan gum, L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), natural flavouring, beetroot red, steviol glycosides from stevia, zinc citrate, cholecalciferol (vitamin D), silicon dioxide and sodium selenite.

The net weight of the box is 77.7 g - 21 sachets of 3.7 g each.

What is EpiCor?

EpiCor is the signature ingredient in Immune Booster, and the one that raises the most questions. It's a dried yeast fermentate: baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is put through a controlled fermentation process, and the whole result is then gently dried into a powder. Each sachet of Immune Booster contains 500 mg of it.

Because EpiCor is produced by fermentation, you'll sometimes see this category of ingredient described as a "postbiotic" - unlike probiotics, it contains no live cultures. It sits alongside the vitamins and minerals in the formula, which carry the recognised nutrition claims listed above.

How do you take Herbalife Immune Booster?

The recommended use is simple:

• Empty one sachet into a glass with 150 ml of water.
• Stir until the powder has fully dissolved.
• Drink once a day, with a meal.

Cold or room-temperature water works well, and the light berry taste means most people are happy drinking it straight - no need to mask it with juice. The sachets are small and flat, so they travel easily in a work bag or gym bag.

A few sensible rules: don't exceed the recommended daily dose of one sachet, and treat the product as a supplement to - not a substitute for - a balanced and varied diet as part of a healthy, active lifestyle. Food supplements aren't a replacement for real meals or good habits. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication, it's always wise to speak to your GP or pharmacist before adding any supplement to your routine.

What do the vitamins and minerals actually do?

The claims that can be made for this product are the ones authorised in UK and EU law, and they're worth quoting precisely:

• Vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc and selenium each contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
• Zinc and selenium contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

The vitamin D dose is a practical touch for a UK audience. Each sachet provides 10 µg - the same daily amount the NHS suggests everyone should consider taking during autumn and winter, when we can't make enough vitamin D from sunlight alone. Getting a full 100% RI of vitamin C and selenium in the same glass simplifies things further if you'd rather not juggle several separate supplements.

Where does Immune Booster fit in the Herbalife Targeted Nutrition range?

Immune Booster is part of Herbalife's Targeted Nutrition series - single-purpose supplements designed to slot into your day alongside your normal meals. Two stablemates are worth knowing about:

• Microbiotic Max - a vanilla-flavoured powder combining live probiotic cultures with prebiotic fibre, also in single-serve sachets.
• Active Mind Complex - a supplement built around nutrients that contribute to normal cognitive and psychological function.

All three follow the same idea: one small daily serving, focused on one area of your routine. You'll find them together in our Herbalife Vitamins & Supplements collection.
