Immune Support*, Quantum

No, we do not use hydrogenated oils, nor do we use any additives that alter the flavor, color, or fragrance of the product. Our products are also made without:

• Added preservatives like potassium sorbate
• Non-nutritive excipients like magnesium stearate
• Talcum powder, an anti-clumping powder and suspected carcinogen

The immune system is an incredibly complex network of organs, tissues, glands, and cells that find and respond to harmful foreign invaders like viruses and bacteria, which can cause disease. The immune system relies on various micronutrients, such vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, selenium, beta-carotene, iron, and zinc, for optimal functioning. Deficiencies in these and other phytonutrients can lead to increased risk for infection and longer recovery periods.

Ideally, we would get all the essential immune-boosting vitamins and minerals we need by eating nutritious foods. However, it can be difficult to maintain a balanced diet for many reasons. Even if you consume a nutrient-rich diet, industrial farming practices have eroded the microbiome of the soil our food is grown in and with it the nutritional value of most food products. As a result, it's critical to take targeted supplements that support your immune system.

Yes, we test our products at a wide range of storage conditions, including stressed conditions to simulate advanced degradation scenarios that can include relative humidity up to 75% and temperatures as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure the product remains stable when stored as directed on the label.

We also use nitrogen or argon flushes on many products to remove oxygen from their storage containers, extending the shelf-life. We also add moisture desiccants to keep the product dry.

Furthermore, we store our products in our exclusive VioliteTM containers. These dark violet-colored, polyethylene bottles are designed to prevent radiation damage to the ingredients by blocking light wave frequencies between 450 and 720 nanometers.

The ideal timing depends on the specific supplement. If digestive upset occurs, try taking supplements after having a bite of yogurt, a teaspoon of nut butter, or a cracker. For specific recommendations, please refer to the label's recommended use and discuss it with a health professional.

Our vegetable capsules are made from tree fiber. Our Certificate of Analysis (CoA) verifies that no undesirable solvents are used to make our capsules. Solvent-free vegetable capsules offer superior digestibility and purity while providing beneficial fiber.

Vegetable capsules are a healthier alternative to solvent-tainted vegetable capsules, tablets, and animal-based gelatin capsules, all of which contain chemical preservatives and other contaminants.

We source ingredients only in their unrefined state, so you may notice that the color, texture, and even odor of a product may vary somewhat between batches and across seasons. Despite these natural variations, each product contains its exact formula and is rigorously tested for purity.

We guarantee the quality and consistency of every supplement we offer by using cutting-edge testing equipment and practices and running multiple tests on each ingredient, including:

• Heavy metal testing
• Microbial testing for contaminants
• Microscopy to evaluate botanical identity
• High-performance thin layer chromatography, which looks at levels of active phytochemicals within a plant

At QNL, our rigorous testing protocols guarantee that our products are free from toxins, pesticides and herbicides, and steroid and antibiotic residues.

In addition to performing in-house testing, we engage numerous third parties to validate the quality of our products. Our manufacturing facility is certified by independent testing agencies like USP and NSF. Many of our products are further certified by the Non-GMO Project, OU Kosher, and USDA Organic.

Lastly, the vitality of the ingredients tested is screened using energetic assessment methods based on an applied kinesiology method known as the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test, developed by Dr. Yoshiaki Omura.1 This method has been an integral part of QNL’s ingredient sourcing and formulation development.
