Standard Process Congaplex Supplement Benefits

Congaplex is one of the best short-term immune system nutritional support combinations ever made. These are not immune boosting herbs. Rather this supplement supplies the critical nutrients that the immune system needs to fight an infection. You can think of Congaplex as the food and fuel needed by the body’s army soldiers.

This supplement is packed with full vitamin complexes such as vitamin A and vitamin C. It contains bio-available Calcium which helps white blood cells do their job. Nutritional Yeast supplies vital trace minerals like magnesium, chromium, zinc, selenium, and manganese. 

Congaplex and Congaplex Chewables can be used by adults, children (1 year +) and dogs. It is a safe and effective fuel source for immediate short-term support of the immune system.

I could talk about this product all day! I've been taking this for years whenever I get sick I have gotten rid of strep throat bronchitis and ear infections with this stuff. I give it to my kids just don't give them as much and mix it in Apple sauce or yogurt and even give to my pregnant or nursing family when they aren't feeling well. This product may be a little pricey but the bottle will last a while. Can cannot say Enough good things about congoplex!

I started getting sinus infections like clockwork when I turned 19. My doctor suggested allergy medicine but that only treated the symptoms temporarily. I decided to do my own research and found Congaplex. I take 3 at night when I feel sinus issues coming on and keep taking it every night until my symptoms are gone, that is usually about a week. This stuff works great and I keep it on hand. I haven't had a sinus infection since. LOVE this stuff!

Every time I take this right after I feel I am coming down with a cold or flu I take this. Only one or two doses and I feel fine again. Whether it is a fever and sore throat, or any other symptoms of illness, this eliminates the problem.

I have been using this for 15+years. Few stories: I took I’ll w/mono and it hit my organs. After recovery my immune was wiped out. For years I would contract every virus that came my way until my Doc put me on congaplex, my dad 82 yrs old would get pneumonia every year, sometimes 2 a yr. I talked him into taking 3 a day until the bottle was empty before flu season. He rarely got sick. I don’t know why it works so well but it does. None of the other remedies help me but this does.
