We have chosen this combination of products as they all contribute to a normal and well-functioning immune system. Below you can read more about the essential micronutrients and their health benefits:

WHAT IS VITAMIN D3?

Vitamin D is not a vitamin in the traditional sense. The main source of our Vitamin D need is through the sun and not from food, which many other vitamins and minerals are sourced from. When the sun hits our skin, we naturally produce Vitamin D. To get the optimal amount of Vitamin D from the sun, our skin must be in direct exposure to UV-B sun rays.  Vitamin D deficiency is particularly common in the Northern countries because of the many dark winter months, where the people have limited access to direct sunlight. Based on this information, we always recommend supplementing with Vitamin D during winter.

• Vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
• Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal blood calcium levels, and the maintenance of normal muscle function.
• Vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption/use of calcium and phosphorus.
• Vitamin D has a role in the process of cell division.

WHAT IS ZINC?

Zinc is a trace mineral and a powerful antioxidant. It is an essential nutrient that plays many vital roles in your body. Because your body doesn’t naturally produce zinc, you must obtain it through food or supplements. Typical natural sources of Zinc are; meat, eggs, fish, shellfish, seeds, and beans.

Zinc contributes to the following:

• Zinc contributes to a well-functioning and normal immune system
• Zinc contributes to normal skin
• Zinc contributes to normal hair growth
• Zinc contributes to normal nail growth
• Zinc contributes to normal bone function

WHAT IS VITAMIN C?

Vitamin C is probably the most explored vitamin of all time - and the most commonly known. We humans are not able to produce Vitamin C ourselves - we must get it through our diet.  Good natural sources of Vitamin C are; green leafy vegetables, red bell pepper, dark red berries, and citrus fruits.

Vitamin C turns into a powerful antioxidant when absorbed into the body. It is a water-soluble vitamin, which means that the body automatically excretes excess amounts through the urine after 3-4 hours. Vitamin C is also called ascorbic acid and contributes to many essential functions in the body:

• Vitamin C helps maintain the normal functioning of the immune system.
• Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen to the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin, and teeth.
• Vitamin C contributes to a normal energy-bringing metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, and normal psychological function.
• Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress, reduction of fatigue and burnout, regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E.
• Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron.
