More details about the ingredients
Vitamin C deficiency has been associated with an increase in the frequency and duration of colds. The lack of this vitamin favors the development of infections of any type, and a weakened immune system can aggravate any infection. The danger is greater in older people, in whose case this weakening is more pronounced. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C has several roles in the body, but the most important is in strengthening the immune system.
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 therefore 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.
Respiratory infections are most common during the cold season, but also in the spring. It is also then that the lowest levels of vitamin D in the body are recorded. It seems that the active form of vitamin D stimulates the cells of the immune system to fight against microbes.
Therefore, vitamin D can influence the immune system's response to various environmental factors. Moreover, studies show that vitamin D intensifies the functions of the immune system up to 5 times (Ginde AA, Mansbach JM, Camargo CA., Jr. Association Between serum 25 – hydroxyvitamin D level and upper respiratory tract infection in The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Surbey. Arch Intern Med. 2009; 169 384-90).
Zinc is an antioxidant, regulates the level of vitamin A and is important in brain development. An essential mineral for the body, zinc brings only benefits. It helps to strengthen the immune system, regulate vitamin A levels and regulate metabolism.
The body needs zinc to activate T cells, i.e. the lymphocytes used by the immune system. These cells are not only responsible for regulating the immune response, but also attack infected cells, thus protecting the body.
Studies show that zinc reduces by 57% the need to use antibiotic products and by 56% the incidence of cold episodes (Vakili R. et al. Iranian Journal of Pediatrics. Dec. 2009, Vol. 19).
Adults: 1 tablet per day.
