Remember, going overboard will do nothing for your immunity. It can actually have negative impacts. Too much vitamin D isn't good for you. Too much of anything isn't good for you. I experienced this myself as a kid when I was eating too many bananas. The excess of potassium did not so good things to my body for a bit. The best thing you can do to help your immunity is eat right, get enough sleep, exercise and avoid certain foods or habits (fried, smoking, alcohol, etc).
This drink is made from items that should be in your diet anyway to help regular your immunity. If you're not getting enough of these ingredients this will help you. The alternative is you could be taking a pill. All ingredients should be organic to get the full benefits. Otherwise they have been processed/altered and lost much of their benefits.
Oh, and make sure you let the raw garlic hang out for about 10 minutes before consuming. That helps the enzymes get all nice and turbocharged. Highly recommend turbocharged garlic.
