INTELLIGENCE CODE

With our immune system supplement, we harness our bodies’ natural intelligence—and let the power of the ingredients emerge.

SYNERGISTIC

INGREDIENTS

Each element is carefully chosen to work in concert. Fierce Immunity is
an unprecedented combination you won’t find anywhere else.

vitamin d

Vitamin D is obtained from sun exposure, foods, and supplements. These sources supply vitamin D in a biologically inactive form. When activating vitamin D, the liver and the kidney transform the inactive form into the physiologically active form, known as calcitriol.

Fierce Immunity is designed to help activate vitamin D and increase calcitriol production. And, unlike other vitamin D supplements, the addition of quercetin can help increase the bioavailability of vitamin D, and arginine can help increase its efficacy.

quercetin

Quercetin, a flavonol found in many fruits and vegetables, not only kills bacteria and viruses, but also supports the immune system by increasing the production of immune effector cells. Combined with hesperidin, quercetin can help protect memory functions and slow cognitive decline. 

Since quercetin also can increase the oral bioavailability of vitamin D and support its activation, it can help increase the protective power of vitamin D. Additionally, quercetin can help regulate overproduction of nitric oxide from the I-arginine in Fierce Immunity.

hesperidin

Hesperidin, a flavanone contained in citrus fruits, is a time-honored herbal medicine that was first isolated in 1828. By reducing viral replication, it helps protect against influenza. Hesperidin can reduce inflammation, support the production of immune effector cells, and more.

The safety of hesperidin was confirmed by FASEB (Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology) upon request of the FDA. Toxicity studies have confirmed the high safety profile of hesperidin after oral intake.

Zinc Ascorbate

Zinc ascorbate is the zinc salt of vitamin C. It has superoxide dismutase-like and antibacterial activity. The combination of zinc and vitamin C supports the innate immune system only when consumed in moderate amounts. Too much zinc weakens, rather than strengthens, the innate immune system.

This function can help increase the efficacy of quercetin and hesperidin, as well as the immune-supporting power of Fierce Immunity.

L-Arginine

L-arginine serves as a building block for proteins and plays an essential role in the immune and cardiovascular systems. This amino acid is essential to nitric oxide production in the body, which can improve blood flow and heart health.

L-arginine can increase the activation of vitamin D, which is designed to help increase the ability of Fierce Immunity to unlock the immune system’s full potential.

OUR FORMULATORS

DR. ANTON FLIRI

Anton Fliri, Ph.D., J.D., is a distinguished professional with expertise in Organic Chemistry and Law. He is the President and Co-founder of SystaMedic Inc., the Founder and President of Emergent System Analytics LLC, and the Chief Technology Officer of Wellomics LLC. Additionally, he serves as a Scientific Advisor and Co-founder of Decript Inc. and is a member of the American and Swiss Chemical Societies.

Dr. Fliri obtained his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry in 1979 from the Leopold Franzens University in Innsbruck, Austria. He conducted postdoctoral research at Harvard University with Nobel Laureate R. B. Woodward (1978–1980) and at ETH Zurich with Wolf Prize winner Albert Eschenmoser (1980–1982). With a focus on natural product research, Dr. Fliri joined Pfizer in 1982, where he conducted research in cancer and neuroscience. He founded Decript Inc. in collaboration with the French Patent Department in 2007, pioneering technology for evaluating the novelty of pharmaceutical inventions. For this groundbreaking work, Dr. Fliri received two Pfizer Central Research Achievement awards. His accomplishments in pharmaceutical research are evident through over 100 patents, publications, and speaking engagements.

In 2009, Dr. Fliri established SystaMedic Inc., a biotech company specializing in life science data analysis. Applying the technology developed by SystaMedic in the field of wellness and natural medicine, he joined the nutraceutical company Wellomics in 2014. After departing from Wellomics in 2015, Dr. Fliri developed Emergent Intelligence technology (EI) and founded Emergent System Analytics LLC (ESA). His focus shifted towards addressing unmet medical needs, including the development of products to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections, as well as viral, fungal, and parasitic infections with pandemic potential. Recognizing affordability gaps in healthcare, Dr. Fliri utilized his expertise in drug discovery and technology to decode nature's healing power and create new products that meet efficacy and safety expectations for individuals who cannot afford expensive synthetic medicines.
