This food supplement increases the body's resistance to bacterial or viral infection.
Vitamin C contributes to :
- A normal functioning of the immune system
- A normal energy metabolism
- Reduction of fatigue
- Absorption of iron
Supplies the body with :
- Shiitake titrated in beta-glucans
- Echinacea purpurea
- Propolis
- N-acyl-cysteine
which help to strengthen the body's natural defences.
Strengthen your immune system!
This complex contains numerous active ingredients, including shiitake extract rich in beta-glucans, which modulate the immune response.
The immunostimulant action of beta-glucans
Beta-glucans act as natural immunostimulants[1-2]. These active substances stimulate the cytotoxicity of natural killer cells (anti-tumour activity[3-4]).
Propolis and Echinacea boost the immune system
Propolis[5] and Echinacea[6-7] extracts promote resistance to infections (increasing the expression of antiviral and anti-inflammatory cytokines).
Echinacea purpurea is a plant containing several active ingredients (echinacoside and echinacein as well as inulin). In popular medicine, echinacea is mainly used for viral diseases (flu) and chronic diseases (bacterial, mycotic).
N-acetyl-cysteine and vitamin C increase glutathione
N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) supports the production of glutathione (universal antioxidant & white blood cell igniter). Glutathione is naturally present in our body and strengthens the body's resistance to aggression, tumours, free radicals and microbes.
NAC, recycled by vitamin C, supports the normal functioning of the immune system.
