The hero ingredient in Capsid is star anise - and it’s what sets our formula apart from other immune supplements. Star anise contains shikimic acid, a natural compound used in the production of well-known antiviral medicines. In Capsid, star anise supports your body’s natural immune defences, to help build everyday resilience.
Well known for its role in immune health, vitamin C supports the body’s natural defences and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. In Capsid, it provides a strong foundation for everyday immune support.
Used for generations during cold and flu season, elderberry is rich in natural plant compounds known as flavonoids. Research suggests these may help reduce the severity and duration of viral symptoms. We’ve included elderberry in Capsid to add a natural, preventative edge to the formula.
An essential mineral for immune health, zinc contributes to the body’s ability to repair, heal and respond to viral challenges. Clinical trials even show benefits in treating common viral warts (verrucas), highlighting its important role in resilience. Often overlooked in daily diets, zinc is included in our Capsid blend to reinforce your immune system where it matters most.
Often called the “sunshine vitamin,” vitamin D3 helps regulate immune function and is especially important during the darker months, when levels can drop. It plays a vital role to help the immune system work as it should. In Capsid, vitamin D3 provides year round daily support.
No need to remember to restock, we’ll deliver straight to your door so you never miss a dose. It’s the smarter, simpler, and more affordable way to keep your immune system supported all year round.
A nutraceutical (like Capsid) is a supplement made from food-derived ingredients that provide benefits beyond basic nutrition – where a healthy diet meets medical expertise, offering daily support that goes further than vitamins alone.
Capsid’s simple blend of five ingredients (star anise, zinc, vitamin c, vitamin D3 and elderberry) supports your body’s natural defences – so you can focus on the life you love.
We’ll deliver Capsid direct to your door, keeping your immune health topped up – and savings in your pocket! Plus, there’s flexibility when you need it - pause or cancel your subscription at any time.
Capsid was founded by Dr Lisa Brigstocke, a GP with over 15 years’ experience as an NHS doctor. After seeing countless patients with viral illnesses - and experiencing her own daughter’s hospitalisation with flu - Lisa wanted a better way to make immune health simple and effective. Capsid is her answer: a clean, five-ingredient blend designed for everyday resilience.
