Immune Support

If your body is to build and maintain healthy resistance to infection, it needs the right nutritional building blocks. And there are some nutrients that have a particularly important role to play.

Perhaps the most well-known of these is vitamin C. Vitamin C helps to maintain general body resistance, and is widely used to help fend off colds, allergies, hayfever and mild respiratory ailments. Another well-regarded nutrient for resistance is zinc. Zinc is an essential mineral that supports normal, healthy immune function.

For many people, zinc and vitamin C are the first nutritional choice when it comes to supporting healthy resistance to infections.

But they are by no means the only essential nutrients that help maintain healthy immunity. Vitamin A is also known to help relieve the symptoms of mild upper respiratory ailments such as colds and flu, and vitamins A, C and E are often combined as a powerful antioxidant complex.

Zinc and vitamin C are the best known nutrients for helping the fight against colds and other mild upper respiratory ailments.

Every day, kids at school are exposed to all the bugs in the neighbourhood. When it comes to colds, the best thing you can do for your child is make sure their immune system has all the nutrients it needs – and that means plenty of vitamin C.
