We tried: Orthomol® Immun – Usage Experiences (2026)
In this article
Orthomol
The idea behind Orthomol came from a meeting at the Munich airport more than 30 years ago.
dr. Kristian Glagau had a natural instinct for innovation. The idea was to produce combinations of micronutrients based on orthomolecular nutritional medicine.1
From the very beginning, high quality Orthomol products and their scientific basis were vital to the company's success. Behind Orthomol products are certified by a number of experts and regularly certified by the German Technical Control Board (TUV Rheinland) according to the strictest international food safety standards, ISO 22000.
Over the past 30 years Orthomol the packaging changed its design several times. The "blue wall" known to many users appeared in later years.
Quality of ingredients
Orthomol Immun is a food supplement for special medical purposes (balanced diet).
It is intended for weakened immunity caused by nutritional deficits, for frequent infections, after surgery or chemotherapy, and for the elderly.
Food plays a fundamental role in the growth and development of the human body. Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals in the human body can lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the functioning of the immune system.2
Orthomol Immun It contains 25 important micronutrients and represents comprehensive multivitamin support for the body, with special emphasis on strengthening the immune system and vitality.
In short, this is the role of the 25 micronutrients:
- Strong immunity: The exceptionally high dose of vitamin C (950 mg) stands out, which in synergy with zinc, selenium and vitamin D provides superior protection for the immune system.
- Energy and Focus: A full spectrum of B vitamins (including B12, B6 and folic acid) directly targets the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and supports the nervous system.
- Antioxidant protection: The rich content of vitamin E and the addition of plant compounds such as lutein, lycopene and citrus bioflavonoids protect cells from oxidative stress and aging.
- Essential Minerals: The formula is rounded out with key minerals like iron, iodine and chromium for optimal metabolism and thyroid function.
When to take
This dietary supplement is intended for:
- For acute respiratory infections (colds, flu, bronchitis) and other infections
- In case of chronic infections (HPV, herpes) and chronic diseases
- Before and after all surgical interventions
- During preparation for chemotherapy and radiotherapy and after it
- In elderly people
- In radioactive persons exposed to heavy physical and mental exertion
Although Orthomol powerful, contains a basic dose of vitamin D (200 IU). During the winter, for maximum effect, we recommend using additional Vitamin D spray with it.
We contacted the manufacturer about the earliest age when Orthomol Immun can take. They replied that it is generally suitable for children over 14 years old.
Before taking Orthomol Immun or other dietary supplements, especially if you are taking other medications or have specific health conditions, it is recommended to consult a doctor to avoid possible interactions.
Powder or vials
The product comes in two forms:
- Powder in a bag, dissolves in water
- A ready-to-use bottle with a folic acid tablet and an iodine tablet
Both forms are taken during or after a meal every day.
The advantage of the bottles is that the iodine tablet is physically separated (the little yellow/white tablet on the lid). This is a practical solution for those who have thyroid problems. If your doctor forbids iodine, simply do not take the tablet, and drink the liquid and folic acid normally. This is not possible with the powder because everything is mixed together.
Experiences after use
The taste of the liquid from the bottle is sour-sweet. The bottles are a lifesaver for people on the go who don't have time to dissolve the powder in water and clean the glass afterwards.
Sachets are also practical, although not as much as bottles. They are smaller in size than bottles. Inside the sachets is a powder that dissolves in water, so you need to be near water and have a slightly larger glass, depending on how much water you want in your drink.
When dissolved in water, the powder tastes like orange juice. You can taste the artificial sweeteners. Adding more water can help to reduce this taste if you are sensitive. The experience can also be made more enjoyable by adding a few ice cubes.
I take this food supplement during a short but exhaustive trip. It helps restore my energy levels and prevent infections that are common on cold and windy days.
How to read other people's experiences and what to expect
Users in the reviews on the sites we looked at mostly praise Orthomol, describing it as a “salvation for immunity. Many point out the quick results: “As soon as I drink it, I feel better”, “brings me back to life” when tired or starting a cold, and reduces the frequency of illnesses in winter.
Disadvantages they mention include the high price (expensive for regular use). Despite this, most feel that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, with flexible forms for different types of use.
Users often search for “orthomol immune experience forum” which means they are looking for quick confirmation “if it works” and how quickly. With dietary supplements, the effect is most often not measured “overnight”, but through consistent use and general lifestyle (sleep, diet, stress). Experiences can vary greatly as they depend on initial nutrient status, frequency of exposure to infections and existing health conditions. It is most useful to read experiences as personal impressions, not as a guarantee of results.
Important warnings: iodine, biotin and carbohydrates
Orthomol Immun contains iodine, so in case of thyroid dysfunction, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before taking it. It also contains biotin (165 µg), which may affect the results of some laboratory tests, so it is important to tell your doctor or laboratory that you are taking it. The powder also states the presence of rapidly usable carbohydrates, which may be relevant for people with impaired glucose tolerance.
Orthomol Immun is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. If you have thyroid disease, are taking medication, are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a chronic condition, it is recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking it. Dietary supplements cannot replace a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle, they are best used as a supplement to quality nutrition, sleep and stress management.
Conclusion
Orthomol Immun is a good choice for all those whose diet in an increasingly fast-paced lifestyle cannot replace the most important body needs. This dietary supplement is seriously designed, highly dosed and focused on nutritional support for immunity, with a clear emphasis on vitamin C and a wide range of vitamins and minerals. It is recommended for people who want a structured approach to micronutrients in periods of increased stress, provided that the warnings are respected (thyroid and iodine, biotin and laboratory tests, glucose tolerance).
We recommend it for those who need an emergency dose of vitamins and an effective supplement to boost immunity. Orthomol Immun it quickly improves resistance, energy and recovery from infections, colds or after surgery and chemotherapy.
