Yes, definitely 🙂.  All of our products are designed to work synergistically.

Immune function is built on many factors. Our advice to build all around immunity is as follows;

Build a healthy digestive system: 70% of the immune system is housed in the digestive tract. Building healthy levels of beneficial bacteria and feeding these bacteria with fibre can really assist immunity. Happy defence contains a probiotic specifically shown to reduce respiratory infections.

Manage stress: Chronic stress can weaken your immune system. Incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily routine or consider a natural anxiety supplement like Happy Calm to help manage stress levels.

Sleep: Recent research has identified that more than 7 hours sleep per night improves T cell immunity which assists in fighting viral and bacteria infections.

We believe vaccination is a personal choice. Do your own research, discuss with your practitioner and make the decision that suits your health. Happy Defence will not interact with any vaccines.

No, the formula is very safe when taken at the suggested dosage. The only consideration is to take the product with food as with some people zinc on an empty stomach can cause mild nausea.

We suggest always checking with your doctor before taking any new medications or supplements.

Although not designed for seasonal allergies Happy Defence has immune modulating compounds which should down-regulate reactive immune systems.

Echinacea purpurea and Astragalus membranaceus enhance immune response and protect against infections. Olive leaf and Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi mushroom) provide antioxidant support and boost immune function. Zinc and Vitamin D3 are essential for immune cell function and regulation. Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04 supports gut health, crucial for overall immune resilience. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to support a robust immune system, helping you stay healthy and resilient against illnesses.

The immune system defends the body through three key mechanisms: physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, innate immunity using cells such as neutrophils and macrophages for rapid pathogen elimination, and adaptive immunity via lymphocytes that target specific pathogens, ensuring lasting immune protection.  

Ingredients like Echinacea purpurea, Astragalus membranaceus, Olive leaf, and Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi mushroom) enhance innate immune functions such as phagocytosis and cytokine production, bolstering the body's initial response against invaders.  

Zinc, Vitamin D3, and Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04 further support adaptive immunity by regulating immune cell activity, enhancing antibody production, and promoting a balanced immune response tailored to specific pathogens.
