More details about the ingredients
Vitamin C is an indispensable nutrient for the normal development of physiological processes. However, vitamin C cannot be synthesized or stored by the human body. In this sense, the need for vitamin C will be ensured through an adequate diet and with the help of nutritional supplements.
Vitamin C helps the optimal functioning of the immune system, the reduction of fatigue and exhaustion, the improvement of iron absorption, the normal functioning of the metabolism and the protection of the body against oxidative stress.
Propolis is the resinous substance that bees collect from the buds, sap and resin of trees and certain plants and which helps them build, disinfect and protect the hive from cracks or invaders. Propolis acts as a disinfectant, being responsible for sterilizing hives, places prone to viruses and bacteria, considering the temperature and humidity conditions.
The benefits of propolis for humans are also numerous. It is considered that it supports the health of the immune system, being helpful also during cold and flu periods.
Originally from North America, echinacea has been used for more than 400 years for its numerous properties, including immunostimulatory ones. In addition, in combination with propolis and vitamin C, it reduces by 55% the number of illnesses, by 62% the number of days of fever, by 51% the number of days of antipyretic use and by 48% the number of days of antibiotic administration according to studies clinics (Cohen HA, Varsano I, Kahan, Sarrell M, Uziel Y., Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 2004, 158:217-221).
The flavonoids in elderberries - anthocyanins, quercetin and isoquercitrin - help the body during the period when it is dealing with the flu or cold. In addition, elderberries are known for their immunostimulating action, contributing to the health of the immune system.
According to clinical studies, elderberries have an antiviral effect, reducing hemagglutination and inhibiting the replication of several types of Influenza A and B viruses. Thus, it has been demonstrated that flu symptoms improve after 2 days of taking a preparation with elderberry extract, and the average duration of illness is significantly reduced (Zakay-Rones Y, Varsano N, Zlotnic M, J Altern Complement Med, 1995; 1:361-369).
