Many vitamins and minerals are important for a healthy immune system. Your immune system needs certain vitamins and minerals to work properly. Deficiencies in these critical nutrients may weaken your immune system. Zinc, vitamin C, and other nutrients play an integral role in boosting your immune system. Both zinc and vitamin C are also powerful antioxidants that protect the body from free radical damage. Zinc is critical for the development and function of immune cells in your body. Zinc deficiency can impair the ability of immune cells to function. Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin well known for its role in supporting a healthy immune system. Research shows vitamin C is essential for the growth and repair of cells all over the body, including immune cells. Vitamin C helps heal wounds and repair and maintain healthy gums, skin and cartilage. While these nutrients are commonly found in a balanced diet, many adults may not consume adequate amounts from their diet because of various lifestyle factors, including poor diet. For this reason, Nevancia has formulated a special kind of daily immune support supplement, rich in elderberry, vitamin C, and Zinc, to support and maintain your immune system and other bodily functions.
