Immunity gummies with vitamin C, zinc and D3.

It depends which nutrients you are after.

• GlowShroooms: 12mg of vitamin C and 1.5mg of zinc, each 15% of the NRV. Vitamin C and zinc both contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
• SuperMoss: 250mg of sea moss extract (10:1) with vitamin C, vitamin D3 and iodine. Vitamins C and D both contribute to the normal function of the immune system.

If you want vitamin D through autumn and winter, choose SuperMoss. To cover both, the SuperMoss & GlowShroooms Bundle gives you 60 of each for £28.99.

They can top up nutrients your immune system uses, but no supplement can stop you catching a cold or any other illness. What matters is what is inside. Vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc have authorised claims in GB for contributing to the normal function of the immune system, as long as a serving contains at least 15% of the NRV. Ingredients such as mushrooms and sea moss do not have these claims. Sleep, a varied diet, regular exercise and washing your hands all matter too.

Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin. Your body cannot make it or store much of it, so you need some every day from foods such as peppers, citrus fruit, broccoli and berries. Two GlowShroooms contain 12mg, 15% of the NRV, and SuperMoss contains vitamin C as well. The NHS says most people can get all the vitamin C they need from a varied diet.

The NHS advises everyone in the UK to consider a daily supplement of 10 micrograms of vitamin D from October to early March, when the sun is too weak for your skin to make enough. Some groups, such as people who rarely go outside or who cover most of their skin, are advised to take it all year. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal bones and muscle function. SuperMoss contains vitamin D3, so avoid doubling up with another vitamin D product without checking your total.

Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to normal cognitive function, and to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails. Your body has no dedicated store of it, so you need a regular supply from foods like meat, shellfish, dairy, beans, nuts and wholegrains. Two GlowShroooms contain 1.5mg of zinc as zinc citrate, 15% of the NRV. If you already take a multivitamin with zinc, add the amounts together, as the NHS advises against taking high doses of zinc for long periods.

Chaga grows on birch trees in the cold forests of Siberia, Scandinavia and Canada, where it has been brewed as a tea for generations. It is naturally rich in antioxidant compounds, and StarShroooms contains it as a 10:1 extract. Maitake, also in StarShroooms, is known for its beta glucans. The research on both is early: the Chaga work is in the lab, and the Maitake study we link to was in mice. Neither has an authorised claim, so for immune function look to vitamins C and D and zinc. See our Chaga guide.

Yes. Two gummies a day, every day, is how GlowShroooms and SuperMoss are meant to be taken, and there is no need to stop in summer. Vitamin C and zinc are needed daily, and vitamin D is worth thinking about from October to March. A Triple Pack of 180 gummies covers three months for £49.99, or a subscription delivers every 30 days, with the option to skip, pause or cancel any time. Keep to two gummies of each product a day.

Usually, but add up the totals first. GlowShroooms gives 12mg of vitamin C and 1.5mg of zinc. SuperMoss contains vitamin C, vitamin D3 and iodine, and StarShroooms contains 100µg of iodine, so if you take several products the iodine and vitamin D in particular can add up. Put the labels side by side, and ask your pharmacist if you are unsure. More is not better with vitamins and minerals, and the NHS warns against taking high doses of vitamin D or zinc for long periods.

Take two with breakfast. SuperMoss and GlowShroooms both suit the morning, and taking them with food makes them easy to remember. No water is needed. Vitamin D is fat soluble, so a meal with some fat in it, such as eggs, yoghurt or avocado on toast, is a good match. Do not take more than two a day of either product. Both are vegan, set with fruit pectin and caffeine free, and SuperMoss tastes of apple rather than the sea.

No. Our gummies are made and labelled for adults, and they are not for under 18s. Children have different nutrient needs, and the NHS recommends daily vitamin drops containing vitamins A, C and D for most children aged 6 months to 5 years. Because our gummies look and taste like sweets, store them out of the reach and sight of children. For advice on a child's vitamins, ask your pharmacist or health visitor.

GlowShroooms and SuperMoss both come in a 10 gummy trial pack for £4.99, so you can check the mixed berry and apple flavours first. Full Packs of 60 are £24.99 each. Orders placed before 2pm on a working day are processed the same day and sent by tracked UK delivery, which usually takes 2 to 3 working days. If you are not satisfied, contact us within 30 days and our money back promise means we will refund you, with no need to return opened pouches unless we ask.

Speak to your GP or pharmacist before taking our immunity gummies if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescription medication or under medical supervision. SuperMoss contains iodine, so check first if you have a thyroid condition, and remember StarShroooms contains iodine too. Our gummies are not for under 18s. If you keep getting infections or feel unwell for a long time, see your GP rather than relying on supplements. Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
