We tried it Orthomol® Immun: Experiences of Use
In this article
What is it 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.
What is in Orthomol Immun?
Orthomol Immun is a food supplement for special medical purposes (balanced diet).
Code is intended weakened immunity caused by nutritional deficits, frequent infections, after surgery or chemotherapy and for elderly people.
We asked the manufacturer about the earliest age when Orthomol Immun can take and received the answer that it is generally suitable for children older than 14 years.
It has long been known that food plays a fundamental role in the growth and development of the human body. A lack of vitamins and minerals in the human body can lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the functioning of the immunological system.2
Orthomol Immun contains 25 important micronutrients in a combination of vitamins, plant substances and minerals.

When is it good to take it? Orthomol Immun?
Orthomol Immun 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

Both forms are taken during or after a meal every day.
Experiences after taking Orthomol Immun
Orthomol Immun I test in detail in the form of bags.
I'm trying one copy of the bottle. The taste of the liquid from the bottle is sweet and sour. The packaging is practical if you are on the go and don't have time to think about nutritional supplements.
Bags are something I was introduced to in a review Orthomol Vital F. But on the difference Orthomol Vital F, Immun bags do not have additional tablets on the side, which is actually practical, especially for those who do not like the feeling of swallowing tablets.
When dissolved in water, the powder tastes like orange juice. Artificial sweeteners are felt. Adding more water can soften this taste.
I often make the experience more fun by adding a few ice cubes to the drink.
Orthomol Immun I take it during a short but exhaustive trip. It helps restore my energy levels and prevent infections that are common on cold and windy days.
I also take Immun during the second dose of the Pfizer SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. There are no serious side effects, apart from the standard pain in the hand and body one day after receiving the dose.
Immun also raises the energy level very well. I prove this on one occasion by taking the supplement before going to bed. I sleep very little that night because of the strong doses of micronutrients such as B group vitamins that are in the supplement.
I definitely recommend that Orthomol Immun you take it during the earlier hours of the day so that you have a lot of energy for the rest of the day.
Conclusion
Application for Orthomol Immun there is a lot.
This supplement is a good choice for all those for whom nutrition in an increasingly fast lifestyle cannot replace the most important physical needs.
For everyone who needs an urgent dose of vitamins and who find themselves in an unfavorable health situation, Orthomol Immun sometimes it can even save a life.
