Discover the benefits of these powerhouse ingredients for immune system support
Elderberry, zinc and vitamin C have all been shown to support the immune system’s defense and are important players in enhancing the immune response.1,2,3,4
What do these ingredients do for immune health?
- Elderberry contains potent antioxidants such as anthocyanins that are responsible for its purple hue.1 Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have been used to fight cold and flu symptoms.1
- Zinc has been cited as the “gatekeeper of immune function.”2 Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help regulate the immune system.2
- Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that is vital to the function of white blood cells. In fact, vitamin C has been shown to prevent and treat respiratory and systemic infections.3
How do these ingredients support your immune system?
Elderberry’s antioxidant properties have been found to reduce upper respiratory symptoms due to viral infections and reduce symptoms of the common cold.4
Zinc is an essential micronutrient that acts as a signal for immune cells. Zinc is so important that deficiency can lead to increased susceptibility to infections.5
Vitamin C is an antioxidant superstar that supports immune defense. It’s essential to consume enough vitamin C as deficiency can impair immunity and make the body more susceptible to infections.1
