Take care of your immune system with quality supplements
With the arrival of autumn, the crisp weather often brings colds. The immune system is a complex, comprehensive system whose maintenance supports the body’s ability to fight pathogens.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D plays an important role in immune system function. According to Finnish health authority recommendations, adults should consume 10 µg of vitamin D per day and those over 75 should consume 20 µg per day. During the dark months, vitamin D from supplements is especially important.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is one of the best-known immune system supporters. It is a strong antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C is found abundantly in citrus fruits, berries and vegetables.
Zinc
Zinc is necessary for normal immune cell function. Zinc deficiency can make the body more susceptible to infections. Zinc is found in meat, fish, nuts and seeds.
Probiotics
Gut health is directly linked to the immune system – approximately 70% of the immune system resides in the gut. Probiotics help maintain gut microbiome balance.
