Keeping your immune system strong is essential to avoid infections. However, this isn’t always easy to do! Read on to learn how taking the right combination of vitamins can help protect you from sickness despite the challenges of everyday life.
Challenges to keeping your immune system strong
Your immune system protects you from diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and cancerous cells1. To keep your immune system strong, it is important to eat foods that are rich in vitamins and minerals, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep2. However, many aspects of everyday life may take a toll on your immune system.
When we get caught up in work, our social life, or other circumstances, we may forget or not have the opportunity to make healthier lifestyle choices. For instance, you may decide to take fast food instead of a healthy lunch because it’s more convenient. Similarly, you may find yourself pulling all-nighters at work, preventing yourself from getting quality sleep. Getting stressed out, while a normal part of life, may also lead to a weaker immune system if it is continuous, or not managed well. Bad habits such as smoking and drinking have many negative effects on the body, including on your immune system.
Protect yourself with Vitamin C and Zinc
In addition to practicing healthy lifestyle habits like eating well, getting high quality sleep, and keeping physically active, taking vitamins to supplement your diet may also help keep your immune system strong.
Vitamin C and Zinc are commonly recommended to help strengthen one’s immune system. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant, and supports the layers of cells in bodily tissues that protect against pathogens3. Zinc plays an important role in the creation and activation of immune system cells. It also helps fight viruses that attack the body3 and contributes in several repair mechanisms. Together, Vitamin C and Zinc have strong immunomodulatory effects that help protect the body from infection and lessen the impact of symptoms4.
However, not all Vitamin C and Zinc combinations are made equal
While there are many Vitamin C and Zinc combinations in the market, the proportion of ingredients may not always be the most ideal. This is because Vitamin C and Zinc do not mix easily as the ingredients of a single tablet.
Zinc degrades or reduces the potency of Vitamin C when both ingredients are put together. In addition to this, Vitamin C easily becomes unstable when exposed to light, heat, and moisture. It easily discolors, and releases carbon dioxide.
All this goes to lessening the amount of Vitamin C and Zinc that the body receives upon taking the combination.

Key Takeaways
Keeping your immune system strong requires you to eat healthily, exercise regularly, and sleep well. However this is not always possible in our everyday lives, leading to gaps in our nutritional needs.
While Vitamin C and Zinc supplements may help ensure you remain protected from pathogens and infections, not all combination tablets are made equal. Choose the immunity supplement made through ZincPlus Technology to ensure that you receive the full recommended dosage of Vitamin C and Zinc.
