Immuvit C+D3+Zn is a dietary supplement suitable for stimulating the body's natural defenses by strengthening the immune system and is indicated in periods when we need a strong immune system, such as during the winter months. \ \ free of gluten, lactose, sugar \ suitable for diabetics \ \ with: \ \ \ vitamin C or ascorbic acid, a water-soluble vitamin that is easily excreted by the body and therefore must be replenished daily. \ vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin that is produced in the skin upon exposure to sunlight. \ zinc, a mineral involved in many functions of the body, including the normal functioning of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. \ \ \ vitamin c \ \ \ h best known of all water-soluble vitamins, it is transported to the tissues, where it is not stored well and therefore must be replenished daily. \ the role of l-ascorbic acid for health is very important and as a vitamin it is irreplaceable. \ \ \ water-soluble vitamin that contributes to: \ \ \ the proper functioning of the immune system \ metabolic processes for energy production \ reduction of fatigue \ normal functioning of the nervous system and psychological function \ protection of cells from oxidative stress \ absorption of iron \ formation of collagen in cartilage, skin, blood vessels, gums, bones and teeth \ \ \ vitamin d \ \ \ despite its traditional name, vitamin d is actually a hormone (produced endogenously). \ only ~ 10% of the required vitamin d is obtained from food (fish, eggs, dairy products). the remaining 80 to 90% is synthesized in the deep layers of the skin, after exposure to ultraviolet (uv) solar radiation. \ aging, the application of sunscreen, and some diseases can reduce the synthesis of vitamin d by the body. \ its endogenous production does not lead to accumulation. During prolonged exposure to UV-B rays, procholecalciferol (provitamin D3) is converted to an inactive isomer that maintains the balance of vitamin D3 production. \ vitamin D is measured in μg or iu (1μg = 40i.u.) \ \ \ fat-soluble vitamin that contributes to: \ \ \ the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus \ the maintenance of the normal state of bones and teeth \ the maintenance of the normal function of muscles \ the normal function of the immune system \ normal cell division \ \ \ zinc \ \ \ is one of the most important minerals in the body and one of the 24 micronutrients essential for survival. \ it is the second most common component of the body, participates in many biochemical processes and helps in the function of many enzymes. \ it is a cofactor in over 300 enzymes responsible for gene expression and cell proliferation. \ sources of zinc are red meat, chicken, fish, especially shellfish, eggs, legumes, as well as many cereals. Its absorption increases when protein is present in the meal. the body absorbs approximately 20-40% of what it takes in from food. \ \ \ trace element that contributes to: \ \ \ the metabolism of acids, bases, carbohydrates, fatty acids, macronutrients & vitamin A \ the synthesis of proteins \ the normal synthesis of dna, cell division, fertility and reproduction \ the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in men \ the normal cognitive function \ the maintenance of normal vision \ the maintenance of the normal condition of bones, hair, nails & skin \ the protection of cells from oxidative stress \ the normal function of the immune system \ \ \ \ \ use \ \ for adults and children over 12 years of age, 1-2 capsules or 1 effervescent tablet per day, to be taken with water. \ \ \ \ warnings \ \ \ \ do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
