Immune Function

Wellmune® is scientifically studied in more than 12 peer-reviewed studies across different life stages, including kids, healthy adults, athletes, and older adults, for its effects on immune function. This depth of clinical research is part of why Bio-K+ pairs Wellmune® with our proprietary probiotic strains in the Extra Elderberry probiotic drink, giving health-minded consumers a functional ingredient backed by evidence rather than marketing claims alone.

Bio-K+ Extra Elderberry can be taken at any time of day, with or without food, ideally at the same time each day. The bottle should be shaken before drinking and kept refrigerated. Once opened, it lasts up to 7 days. Each bottle contains 80 billion CFU guaranteed until the best before or expiry date, alongside Wellmune®, which is scientifically studied for its effects on immune function.

Yes. Wellmune® has been studied for its effects on immune function across multiple life stages, including extended daily use. Bio-K+ pairs Wellmune® with its proprietary probiotic strains so it fits into a daily routine without switching formulas as your needs change. Consistency helps make it part of that routine.

Wellmune® is a yeast beta-glucan, not a probiotic bacteria strain, so it works through a different mechanism than Bio-K+'s three proprietary strains. Pairing the two gives you a drink that contributes to intestinal flora health and contains Wellmune®, which is scientifically studied for its effects on immune function. The two work through complementary pathways rather than a single ingredient doing double duty.
