- Supports general health and wellbeing, vitality and energy support
- Replaces essential nutrients known to be deficient in New Zealand diets
- Minerals are present in a form which can be rapidly absorbed and transported to target areas where they are most needed in the body.
- Co-factors such as Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin B3 and other minerals support cellular energy production and circulation
- Citrus bioflavonoids assist with Vitamin C absorption and support blood vessel health and circulation
The immune system support provided by vitamins and minerals is known to work in at least four general ways by: Enhancing immune cell communication. When an antigen (any molecule that could stimulate an immune response) s sensed by antenna-like receptors on the outside of the cell, signals are passed from the receptor to the cell's centre, prompting an appropriate immune response. Making immune cells more numerous, more aggressive and more effective in the face of an antigen. Significantly slowing down, and in some cases halting production of free radicals, the essential initiating factor in more than 60 illnesses, including cancer, heart disease, brain disorders and most of the symptoms of aging. Improving the environment within the blood and tissues, assisting to optimise immune system function. Some of the strengths and weaknesses of the immune system result from our genetic makeup, yet scientists have discovered that lifestyle factors influence a person's degree of susceptibility. This may determine whether or not a person actually contracts a given illness, even though they may be predisposed to it. Supplementation, in addition to a healthy diet, moderate exercise and the use of effective stress reduction techniques are recommended to support the immune system in its complex task of maintaining good health. It is particularly useful during periods of high demand. Many pharmaceuticals will deplete the body of certain nutrients. This can compromise an individual's level of wellness and in some cases causes potential harm.
