Vitamin C Complex (formerly Immune Boost)

Vitamin C Complex is a unique formula providing a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin C (Acerola Cherry), beta glucan, zinc and copper which all contribute to a healthy immune system.

Immune-Boost can help with conditions such as:

• Respiratory Infections
• Colds
• Viral Infections including HPV
• Infections of all kinds
• Antioxidant support
• Anti-inflammatory support
• Allergic Rhinitis 
• Skin elasticity 

Acerola vitamin C is better absorbed and not irritating to the gut unlike the ascorbic acid used in most supplements. Vitamin C contributes to immune defence by supporting various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune system. Supplementation with vitamin C appears to be able to both prevent and treat respiratory and systemic infections. Vitamin C as an enzymatic cofactor is extremely important in maintaining tissue integrity, and plays a crucial role in formation of skin. Vitamin C is needed for the creation of new collagen and for the protection of existing collagen. A great collagen supplement will get into your cells and be utilised, but it will work much more effectively with vitamin C. Vitamin C deficiency results in a reduced resistance against certain pathogens whilst a higher supply enhances several immune system parameters.

Acerola cannot be compared to pure ascorbic acid. According to a Japanese study, the natural vitamin C in acerola juice is absorbed more efficiently and gets excreted slower than chemically manufactured ascorbic.

Beta glucan is a natural form of soluble dietary fibre which has been clinically studied to help promote a healthy and balanced immune response. It is an active component in mushrooms and has been used for centuries in Eastern countries.

Beta glucan helps the immune system to react quickly and efficiently when it needs it most. It is also effective in supporting against the immune challenges that come with the change of seasons. Beta glucan has been shown to increase the activity of certain types of immune cells. It is a pure extraction and does not contain enough yeast protein to cause any allergic reaction.

Zinc is essential for the function of the immune system. Zinc is long known to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Zinc has the role of a gatekeeper of immune function.

Copper is essential for performing several immune functions. Dating back to the time of ancient Egyptian and Roman civilisations, copper containing compounds have been used as antimicrobials.
