- Zinc is vital for immunity, fighting colds & flu, and many other vital health conditions. One of the most important roles zinc has is in an antioxidant enzyme associated with longevity and protection from oxidative stress known as copper/zinc superoxide dismutase.1-4 Many people are deficient in zinc, especially the elderly.
- Echinacea contains flavonoids, cichoric acid and rosmarinic acid that contributes to its health benefits which include improved immunity, reduced inflammation, and ability to help lower blood sugar levels.14 A review of 14 studies found that it may lower the risk of developing colds by more than 50% and shorten the duration of colds by one and a half days.5
- Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues. It's involved in many body functions, including the formation of collagen, absorption of iron, the immune system, wound healing, enzymatic production of certain neurotransmitters, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. It is thought to help many health conditions including preventing more serious complications of the common cold, cardiovascular disease, asthma, cancer, diabetes, prenatal health, H.pylori, stress, recovery, anti-ageing and even wrinkling skin.6-17
