Pharmanord's Bio-InfluZinc + C Pastilles contains organically bound bio-available zinc and a natural source of vitamin C from Acerola cherry extract. Zinc and Vitamin C contribute to the normal function of the immune system, and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Bio-InfluZinc Pastilles ensure fast delivery of the active ingredients to the mucous membranes in the oral cavity and throat, they dissolve slowly in the mouth and have a pleasant orange flavour. High, acute intake of Influ-Zinc may be useful for brief periods of 7-10 days, depending on the circumstances.
Zinc is an essential mineral and a trace element that is primarily found in cells and, to a lesser extent, in cellular fluid throughout the body. For instance, our white and red blood cells contain a substantial amount of zinc. Together with copper, zinc is an important constituent of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD).
Zinc has many different functions in the human body and supports about 200 different enzymes, including enzymes that are necessary for metabolizing nutrients and enzymes that are important for translation and expression of genetic coding. These are some of the most important functions of zinc:
- Contributes to a normal well-functioning immune system.
- Part of normal DNA-synthesis and cell specialisation.
- Contributes to protecting cells from oxidative stress.
- Contributes to normal vitamin A metabolism.
- Contributes to a normal acid-base balance.
- Support the maintenance of normal nails, bones, hair, skin and vision.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which was given the name ascorbic acid, when it was discovered. The term refers to the fact that it is an acid that prevents scurvy. Vitamin C has also other important functions such as:
- Supporting a normal well-functioning immune system.
- Protecting the body's cells against oxidative stress.
- Contributing to reducing fatigue and tiredness.
- Supporting a normal energy metabolism.
- Supporting a normal fucntioning of the nervous system.
- Helping regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E in the body
