BENEFITS OF VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is an antioxidant, meaning it prevents or slows damage to cells from free radicals, which are commonly found in cigarette smoke, pollution, alcohol and industrial chemicals. This makes vitamin C a key nutrient to protect our bodies from damage.

Vitamin C is primarily found in white blood cells, the primary cells of the immune system, at elevated levels. Vitamin C is needed to create white blood cells in order to protect the body against infection.

Vitamin C can’t be stored in the body, which is why it is important to get a daily dose.

BENEFITS OF ZINC

Zinc is used to break down carbohydrates and proteins so they can be used in the body. This is important as carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the body and protein is used to build and maintain muscles.

Zinc is used to heal wounds, support cell growth and keep the immune system strong. Recently, studies have found zinc is important for preventing defects in the immune system, which can lead to skin disease and low antibody levels, which in turn allows for repeat infections.

Zinc can’t be stored in the body, so a daily intake is required to maintain its benefits.

Dosage: One tablet a day, diluted in a glass of water
