C-med® Quick-Immun-Sticks, 40 ST

Food supplement with vitamin C and zinc for the immune system.

C-med® Quick-Immun-Sticks contain high doses of vitamin C and zinc as well as histidine and elderberry extract. Vitamin C and zinc help to maintain the normal function of the immune system and protect cells from oxidative stress. An adequate supply of these valuable micronutrients is particularly important for a well-functioning immune system during the cold and wet season and when there is an increased risk of catching a cold.

Vitamin C and zinc are important nutrients that the body cannot produce on its own. Therefore, the daily intake of vitamin C and zinc must be provided in sufficient quantities through food. C-med® Quick-Immun-Sticks provide the body with a rapid supply of vitamin C and zinc for the normal functioning of the immune system.

Properties

• C-med® Quick-Immun-Sticks contain high doses of vitamin C and zinc as well as histidine and elderberry extract. Vitamin C and zinc contribute to the maintenance of the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
• An adequate supply of these valuable micronutrients is particularly important for a well-functioning immune system during the cold and wet season and when there is an increased risk of catching a cold.

Active ingredients

• Vitamin C supports the body's own immune system and makes an important contribution to protecting the cells from attacks by free radicals (oxidative stress). Vitamin C also helps to maintain the body's defences during and after intensive physical activity. Vitamin C also helps to regenerate "used" vitamin E.
• Zinc - an essential trace element - is involved in around 200 metabolic processes in our body. Zinc has a regulatory function in cell division and contributes to the normal function of the immune system and cell protection. As an antioxidant, it protects cells from damage caused by "free radicals". The zinc in C-med® Quick-Immun-Sticks is present as zinc gluconate and, as an organic compound, can be absorbed and utilised particularly well by the body.
• Histidine - an amino acid - promotes the active absorption of zinc as well as the targeted transport of zinc in the body and thus ensures optimum bioavailability of zinc.
• Elderberry (Sambucus nigra): The use of juice from elderberries has been a tradition in folk medicine for centuries - especially in times of colds. Of all the local fruits, elderberries have the highest content of anthocyanins, which form the purple colouring of the fruit. C-med® Quick-Immun-Sticks contain the concentrated extract of elderberries with a particularly high standardised content of natural flavonoids.
