Vitamins and Minerals that Support our Immune System

Vitamin D-3 (as Cholecalciferol) 125 mcg (5000 IU) is a fat-soluble vitamin that play an important role in calcium absorption and bone health, as well as immune function.*

Vitamin C 1275 mgs. (from ascorbic acid and zinc ascorbate) boosts our immunity, as vitamin C is involved in many parts of the immune system. vitamin C helps encourage the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infection.*

Zinc is crucial for normal development and function of cells mediating innate immunity, neutrophils, and NK cells. Macrophages also are affected by zinc deficiency. Phagocytosis, intracellular killing, and cytokine production all are affected by zinc deficiency.*

Calcium bisglycinate 38 mg. signals control whether immune cells can use the nutrients needed to fuel their multiplication into a cellular army designed to fight invading viruses.

This antioxidant helps lower oxidative stress in your body, which reduces inflammation and enhances immunity. Studies have demonstrated that increased blood levels of selenium are associated with enhanced immune response.*

Copper (as copper citrate) is an essential trace mineral necessary for survival. It is found in all body tissues and plays a role in making red blood cells and maintaining nerve cells and the immune system. It also helps the body form collagen and absorb iron, and plays a role in energy production.*
