When should you take this vitamin complex for immunity?
Azinc Immunity combines 12 vitamins, 7 minerals and trace elements, and three lactic acid bacteria— Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium longum, and Bacillus coagulans, at a concentration of 5 ×10⁷ CFU—and 70 mg of propolis extract. The tablet is composed of three distinct layers, which separate the vitamins, minerals, and the core of lactic acid bacteria to minimize interactions between them; this central layer is coated with an enteric coating that protects the bacteria until they reach the intestine.
The first aspect of the formula supports the immune system. Vitamins A, B6, B9, B12, C, and D, along with selenium, zinc, copper, and iron, contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system, and each of these nutrients is present in a significant amount: vitamin D, vitamin A, and folate provide 100% of the Reference Nutrient Intakes, while zinc and vitamin C provide 150%. This formula is a natural fit during seasonal changes, when daily routines and diets tend to become a bit disrupted.
The second aspect concerns daily energy. Vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, and C, as well as iron, help reduce fatigue, while vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B8, B12, and C, along with copper, iron, and manganese, support normal energy metabolism. Vitamin B1 provides 127% of the reference values, and vitamin B6 provides 143%.
This formula is well-suited for busy periods, temporary fatigue, or when your diet has become less varied than usual—and for those who prefer a single dose to taking several separate supplements. If you’re looking for a formula without lactic acid bacteria or propolis, or one suited for a different age group, you’ll find other vitamin and mineral complexes in our pharmacy.
We recommend combining this tablet with the Omega-3 Arkocaps from the same manufacturer. The benefit of this combination is that the Arkocaps contain no vitamins, minerals, or probiotics: they supplement the formula with fatty acids it does not contain—EPA and DHA—which contribute to normal heart function, without adding to the nutrients already measured out in the tablet.

Precautions
- For adults and adolescents 15 years of age and older only.
- Not recommended for pregnant women, women trying to conceive, or breastfeeding women, as there is insufficient data available. This formula provides 800 µg of vitamin A, which is 80% of the maximum daily intake allowed for dietary supplements.
- Not recommended for postmenopausal women due to the vitamin A content.
- Not recommended for people with a history of allergy to bee products. Propolis is a bee product.
- Pollen allergy, asthma, or atopic predisposition: consult a healthcare professional before starting. Pollen allergy is a risk factor for an allergy to bee products.
- If you experience a rash, itching, swelling of the lips or face, coughing, or difficulty breathing, stop taking this product immediately and seek medical advice; call emergency services if you have difficulty breathing or swelling of the throat.
- Contains soy and milk, which are present in the preparation of lactic acid bacteria.
- One tablet provides 100% of the maximum daily intake allowed for zinc (15 mg) and manganese (3.5 mg) in dietary supplements, 80% for vitamin A, and 75% for copper. Do not combine this product with any other supplement containing any of these nutrients—multivitamins, standalone zinc supplements, zinc lozenges, or supplements for skin, hair, or nails—without consulting a healthcare professional.
- Prolonged use is not recommended due to the presence of manganese.
- Not recommended for people with conditions that result in abnormal iron accumulation, such as hemochromatosis.
- The zinc, iron, and calcium phosphate in this formula may reduce the absorption of certain medications taken at the same time: antibiotics in the quinolone and cycline families, osteoporosis medications (bisphosphonates), and levothyroxine. Space out doses by at least 2 hours and consult your pharmacist.
- Immunosuppression, immunosuppressive therapy, chemotherapy, central venous catheter, or current hospitalization: seek medical advice before taking lactic acid bacteria, as cases of infection linked to these strains have been reported in these conditions.
- Chronic illness or long-term treatment: Consult a healthcare professional before starting.
- Fatigue lasting several weeks, fever, recurring infections, or unusual shortness of breath warrant a medical consultation: a dietary supplement is not a substitute for medical care.
- Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Dietary supplements should be used as part of a healthy lifestyle and are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.
- Store at a temperature below 25°C, away from heat and moisture. Keep out of reach of young children.

Our expert advice on Azinc Immunity during periods of fatigue
The first question we ask—even before discussing the treatment—is what the person is already taking. This tablet is formulated with the maximum recommended levels of two trace elements, and it’s in winter that supplements tend to pile up without us even realizing it: a zinc lozenge for the throat, a hair treatment, a multivitamin sitting in the cabinet. The rule regarding the accumulation of supplements is therefore the key point of this information sheet, far more so than the dose itself. For a postmenopausal woman, the issue of vitamin A must be addressed before starting the first box, not after.
Regarding the course of treatment, we recommend sticking to one bottle—that is, one month—and then taking a break rather than taking bottle after bottle from October through March: the presence of manganese justifies this approach. The most beneficial time to take it is at the start of a busy period, not in the middle. And if fatigue persists at the end of the month, you don’t need a second box—you need a blood test: an iron deficiency or a thyroid disorder cannot be corrected with a vitamin complex.
FAQ
Can I take Azinc Immunity instead of Azinc Vitality 12 Vitamins 8 Minerals?
Yes, but not in addition to it. Both formulas are vitamin and mineral complexes from the same line; Azinc Immunity adds three lactic acid bacteria and a propolis extract. Taking both at the same time would double your intake of zinc, manganese, and vitamin A. You should therefore choose one or the other, depending on the time of year.
Can I chew Azinc Immunity if I have trouble swallowing tablets?
No. Chewing the tablet would break down the enteric coating that protects the lactic acid bacteria. Someone who has difficulty swallowing should choose another form from the product line—such as chewing gum—and consult their pharmacist to ensure the formula is suitable for them.
Can I give Azinc Immunity to my 12-year-old child?
No. This tablet is intended for ages 15 and older, and its dosages are formulated for adults. The Azinc line offers junior formulas designed for younger children; a child of this age should take one of those, selected with the help of a pharmacist.
