How does the immune system work?


The immune system is the set of mechanisms that allow the body to defend itself on a daily basis. It relies on physical barriers, such as the skin and mucous membranes, and on specialized cells, white blood cells and lymphocytes, which circulate in the blood and tissues. These natural defenses function continuously and rely on a regular intake of nutrients to remain operational.


Several factors put a strain on the resources of the immune system: seasonal changes, temporary fatigue, periods of prolonged stress, or an unbalanced diet. During these times, properly meeting your vitamin and mineral requirements ensures the necessary nutritional intake for the normal functioning of the immune system.


Why take a food supplement for immunity?


Modern diets do not always cover the recommended intakes of vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, or iron. Cooking methods, food refining, and irregular consumption of fruits, vegetables, or seafood can widen the gap between real intake and nutritional needs.


An immunity food supplement helps to complete the nutritional intake, particularly for certain profiles:



  • People experiencing temporary fatigue, whose needs for vitamin C or zinc may be higher;

  • Seniors, whose needs can sometimes be more difficult to meet, especially for vitamin B12 and vitamin D;

  • People with low sun exposure, who are often affected by insufficient vitamin D intake during winter;

  • Pregnant women, whose needs change, can benefit from formulas adapted to pregnancy.


An adult immunity food supplement can also be integrated occasionally during periods when the immune system is under greater demand: at the approach of winter, during travel, or during periods of intense activity.


Which nutrients should you choose for your immunity?


Several vitamins and minerals have recognized health claims for their role in the normal functioning of the immune system.


Vitamin C: an immune system classic


Recognized for contributing to the normal functioning of the immune system (1), vitamin C is a central active ingredient in immunity cures. Our liposomal vitamin C is the most bioavailable form in the range, thanks to its encapsulation which protects the active ingredient until it is absorbed. For those who prefer other formats, our vitamin C powder allows for more flexible dosing, while the Quali®-C capsules provide ultra-pure, certified vitamin C. Acerola is ideal for people looking for a natural source of vitamin C.


Vitamin D: essential, especially in winter


Dietary intake rarely meets vitamin D needs, and in mainland France, sun exposure remains insufficient from October to March according to ANSES (2). Our vitamin D3, in the form of cholecalciferol, corresponds to the form best absorbed by the body. It also contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system (1).


Zinc: a central mineral


Zinc plays a key role in the activity of immune cells and thus contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system (1). Our zinc bisglycinate is a chelated form: the zinc is bound to two glycine molecules, which promotes its absorption and digestive tolerance compared to inorganic forms like zinc oxide, which are still widely used in standard formulas.


Iron and vitamin B12: not to be overlooked


Iron and vitamin B12 are among the nutrients also recognized for contributing to the normal functioning of the immune system (1). They are of particular interest to vegetarians, vegans, and athletes, for whom iron or vitamin B12 needs can be harder to cover. Our Ferrochel® iron is a patented, highly well-tolerated bisglycinate form, and our vitamin B12 is offered as methylcobalamine, a bioactive form that can be directly used by the body.


How to choose the right immunity food supplement?


To choose the right immunity food supplement, start by identifying the relevant active ingredients for your needs, then look at their form, dosage, and formulation quality.


✓ Alignment with your needs


First, identify your need: this is the starting point to know which food supplement to take for immunity. For comprehensive coverage, our multivitamin formula may be more suitable. For a specific need, a well-dosed single active ingredient will be more relevant, such as vitamin D to get through the winter or B12 to complete the intake of vegetarian and vegan diets.


✓ Bioavailability of the chosen form


Always prioritize the best-absorbed forms: bisglycinate for zinc and iron, liposomal form for vitamin C, methylcobalamine for B12, and cholecalciferol for vitamin D.


✓ Relevancy of the dosage


Check the daily dose of each active ingredient: it must be clearly indicated and consistent with the recommended intakes, without proprietary blends that mask the actual contents.


✓ Purity of the formula


Rely on concrete indicators to evaluate the quality of a formula: French manufacturing, absence of controversial additives, GMOs, or gluten, and available certificates of analysis.


When should you do an immunity cure?


Certain periods are more favorable for an immunity cure: in September-October as winter approaches, during seasonal transitions, during a period of temporary fatigue, or after a phase of intense strain. The recommended duration is generally between 2 and 3 months, to be adjusted according to the active ingredient and your needs.


Why choose Novoma immunity food supplements?


Our immunity food supplements rely on patented or highly absorbable forms: Ferrochel® iron, zinc bisglycinate, vitamin B12 as methylcobalamine, vitamin D3 as cholecalciferol, and liposomal vitamin C.


This formulation choice makes a real difference compared to many formulas on the market, which still use poorly absorbed forms, such as zinc oxide or cyanocobalamin.


All our supplements are made in France following a clean-label approach: GMO-free, gluten-free, and without artificial colors or preservatives. Our certificates of analysis are viewable, and the traceability of our raw materials is ensured at every stage.


This commitment to quality guides all our work, from the selection of our raw materials to the finished product.


Precautions and warnings


Our immunity food supplement formulas are intended for adults, unless otherwise stated on the product sheets. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, people undergoing medical treatment—particularly for vitamin D, iron, or zinc—and individuals with specific medical histories must seek professional advice before any supplementation. Do not exceed the recommended daily doses indicated on the labels. If in doubt about potential contraindications, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle.

Your questions about our immunity-boosting food supplements

Immunity food supplements

What is the immune system?

The immune system is a complex and sophisticated network of natural defenses deployed by the human body to protect itself against potentially harmful invaders. Comprising organs, specialized cells and proteins, it acts in harmony to maintain the body's integrity.

Physical barriers, such as skin and mucous membranes, form the first line of defense, preventing pathogens from entering the body. At the same time, immune cells such as lymphocytes and phagocytes play a central role in tracking down and eliminating threats. Lymphoid organs, such as lymph nodes, coordinate immune responses, distinguishing foreign substances from elements “native” to the body.

In a way, then, the immune system is your body's muscle cop. Or better still: the bouncer at the nightclub, manu militari ejecting external threats and aggressors that have no business being in your body!

When should you support your immune system?

There are many opportunities to give your immune system a boost, and taking care of your immune system becomes a major preoccupation as we move through the different seasons of life.

Seasonal changes, periods of intense stress, or even an unbalanced diet can weaken our natural defenses. Similarly, in situations of prolonged stress, the body can become more vulnerable to external aggression.

Overall, and to put it simply, whenever your body or mind is likely to experience new, greater or different stresses, it's a good idea to give your body a helping hand, by taking immunity supplements.

What factors influence our immune system?

Our immune system is influenced by many factors that determine its effectiveness and resilience. As is often the case, diet plays a key role, as balanced nutrition provides the nutrients essential for its proper functioning.

Vitamin deficiencies, for example, can weaken the immune system. As we said, stress levels also have a significant impact, as prolonged stress can compromise the immune response. Adequate sleep is also crucial, as it is during rest that the body regenerates its immune cells.

Finally, environmental factors such as pollution can also play a role, exposing the body to potentially harmful substances. More difficult to manage, but good to be aware of.

What are the signs of a weakened immune system?

A weakened immune system can manifest itself through a variety of subtle signs that deserve special attention. Regular physical weakening is one indicator.

Similarly, a slightly too long recovery from an indisposition suggests a less effective immune response.

Persistent fatigue with no obvious cause can also be a red flag, so be on the lookout for these signs, because an optimal immune system is essential to keep our bodies in shape!

Why take immunity supplements?

Taking care of your immune system is a growing concern, and many of you are (rightly) turning to nutritional supplements to support this approach.

Immunity supplements are a practical way of ensuring an adequate supply of the essential nutrients that support a healthy immune system. Certain micronutrients, such as vitamins C or B12, iron and zinc, are recognized for their crucial role in boosting the immune system.

However, our modern diet often leaves much to be desired in terms of its ability to supply us with these micronutrients essential to the proper functioning of our immune system... If, like many of us, you find it difficult to adopt a perfectly varied and balanced diet, immunity supplements are a perfect... complement, it's in the name!

What's the best dietary supplement for boosting immunity?
  • Vitamin D
    Also known as the “sunshine vitamin”, by definition we often miss it in winter, when the sun plays hide-and-seek. Essential for modulating the immune system, vitamin D also contributes to the proper functioning of bones and muscles.
  • Zinc
    Zinc is a key mineral that contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system. Our Zinc, in bisglycinate form for optimal absorption, is ideal for supporting your immunity and contributing to beautiful skin and hair.
  • Iron
    Iron is one of the essential trace elements we lack most. For our Iron supplement, as for our Zinc, we have opted for the highly assimilable bisglycinate form. Our Iron will not only boost your immune system, but also promote vitality and tone.
  • Spirulina
    Spirulina is a blue-green microalga renowned for its many nutritional benefits. Thanks to its high content of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, it's a superfood that's perfect for boosting your immune system!
  • Vitamin B12
    This vitamin, which is often deficient in vegans, contributes to the normal functioning of the immune and nervous systems. Our high-dose methylcobalamin supplement respects the vegan lifestyle and is therefore perfectly suited to vegetarians and vegans - but not only.
  • Vitamin C
    Perhaps the best-known vitamin, so renowned are its effects on fatigue, natural defenses and oxidation! Available in 4 different forms (powder, capsule, natural and liposomal), you're bound to find one you love!
  • Multivitamins
    Are you worried about eating enough fruit and vegetables? Or would you like an all-in-one solution? Opt for a multivitamin complex! A good multivitamin provides a balanced mix of essential vitamins and minerals, often including vitamins A, C, D, E and B vitamins, as well as minerals such as zinc and selenium. This can help fill nutritional gaps and support the immune system overall. With no less than 29 nutrients, including minerals, vitamins and plant extracts, our Multivitamins will be the reference ally for your immune defenses.

How can you support your immune system naturally?

First and foremost, a balanced and varied diet, rich in fruit, vegetables and quality protein sources, provides the nutrients essential for a healthy immune system.

Adequate hydration (i.e. water) also plays a crucial role in supporting biological processes, while regular physical activity helps to stimulate blood circulation and promote the mobility of immune cells.

Finally, stress management, whether through meditation, deep breathing or other calming techniques, is another key element in maintaining optimal immune balance. Of course, alcohol and tobacco should be avoided if you want to take care of your immune system!

Are immunity supplements the real deal?

Understanding and caring for our immune system is essential to our overall well-being. This complex shield, made up of cells, organs and proteins, acts to protect us from external aggression. Its defense mechanisms, ranging from physical barriers to specific immune responses, are key to our well-being.

Vigilance for signs of a weakened immune system is crucial, and recognizing these indicators can prompt proactive adjustments. By avoiding factors that compromise our immune system, such as smoking and excess alcohol, we naturally strengthen our resilience. But also, and above all, by adopting a varied, balanced diet rich in essential nutrients.

If you can't, immunity supplements can help you keep in shape in all circumstances, particularly during seasonal changes or periods of upheaval in your life.Don't wait any longer to take charge of your immune system and support it, if need be, with appropriate supplements. Your body and mind will thank you!
