Our immune system

• The immune system is a complex system that protects our body against external intruders and foreign substances. A distinction is made between the innate, non-specific and the acquired, specific immune defence.
• There are also three lines of defence: The first two are the physical barriers (skin andmucous membranes) and the non-specific cell response (e.g. immune cells). These are part of the innate, non-specific immune system. The third line of defence is the specific, acquired immune defence (e.g. antibodies).
• The micronutrients vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc contained in Supradyn® IMMUN complement each other ideally in their function of supporting the immune system.

Vitamin C

• Vitamin C is an important vitamin that is known to have a major positive influence on immune defence. In fact, it is also involved in numerous metabolic processes that are of great importance for the immune system. It is also an important antioxidant and is needed, for example, to build up connective tissue (collagen formation). It therefore helps to keep the skin and mucous membranes intact and supports the immune system's first line of defence.
• Vitamin C is one of the water-soluble vitamins and therefore cannot be stored in large quantities in the body. A regular, controlled intake is therefore particularly important.

Vitamin D

• In addition to vitamin C, vitamin D is also known for its importance for the immune system. It plays an important role in many defence reactions and has a particular influence on various immune cells. For example, it improves the mobility of certain immune cells and their phagocytic properties. As a result, it supports the function and activity of these important defence cells and thus the second line of defence of the immune system.
• Vitamin D can be produced by the body itself via the skin. However, it needs sufficient sunlight to do so. Especially in the winter months, these are usually not available in sufficient quantities. During this time, the intensity of the sun's rays is not sufficient for the body to produce enough vitamin D itself. 40% of the European population has a vitamin D deficiency* *Cashman et al. Am J Clin Nutr 2016; 103:1033-44

Zinc

• Zinc is a vital trace element and is involved in numerous metabolic processes. It contributes to protection against oxidative stress and is important for an intact immune system. Zinc is also important for cells that divide quickly. This includes immune cells. It is also involved in the production of antibodies and thus supports the third line of defence of the immune system.
