Vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc are our nutrient superheroes of strong immunity.
An immune molecule is an immune cell - one of many in the complex immune system Immune molecules make up the foundation of our immune system. Most of our immune cells start in our bone marrow (from the same source - a stem cell) and are converted to innate and adaptive immune cells (or molecules). The creation, maintenance, and activity of these immune molecules are dependent on nutrients and because nature is so neat, it provides what we need when we need it!
It’s no coincidence that fruits that are in season in late autumn and winter such as kiwifruit, lemons, mandarins, and oranges are all rich sources of vitamin C.
However, we would need to eat a lot of these fruits and vegetables every day to get optimal levels of these nutrients, which is why we like to add in supplements, as an easy way to 'fill in the gaps' and help us cover our daily nutritional needs.
Wake up and kick-start your day with this delicious, immune-boosting elixir to help nurture optimal immunity through the cooler months.
