Zinc Plus Vitamin C Tablets

A constant supply of zinc and vitamin C is important so that you feel fit and stay healthy. The combination of vitamin C with the equally essential mineral zinc can help you strengthen your immune system and fight off free radicals.

Free radicals are aggressive molecules that can cause your body to become unbalanced by causing oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can damage your cells and accelerate the aging process. Environmental toxins, poor sleep, an unbalanced diet, and nicotine and excessive alcohol consumption increase the oxidative stress to which your body is exposed.

Zinc not only fulfils important tasks in the regeneration of skin and hair, but also has an antioxidant effect, which means it supports your immune system in fighting free radicals.

If you take in large amounts of ascorbic acid, i.e. vitamin C, most of the vital substance will soon be excreted without any effect. Therefore, you should ensure that you take it in depot form.

Especially during the cold season, dietary supplements that support the immune system are popular. These include preparations containing vitamin C and zinc. Lozenges containing zinc, vitamin C and histidine are also occasionally recommended.
