What nutrients to choose for Natural Defenses


 Vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, selenium, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid, iron and copper contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system. Vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, zinc and manganese contribute to the protection of cells against undesirable oxidation. Vitamin D also contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus.

How to choose from the collection

Compare the dose per serving and the percentage of the nutrient reference value (NRV) indicated on the label, because the difference between formulas is significant — for zinc, for example, you can find from 15 mg up to 30 mg per capsule. Use the side filters to narrow down by ingredient, brand, price or availability. The collection also includes products with live cultures, propolis, plant extracts, mushrooms, N-acetylcysteine and L-glutamine. If you are taking medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting any supplementation.

Perguntas frequentes

Which nutrients are associated with immune system function?
The European Union authorises the claim "contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system" for vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folic acid, zinc, selenium, iron and copper. This is the complete list regarding vitamins and minerals. Other ingredients in this collection, such as plant extracts, mushrooms or live cultures, have no authorised claims in the EU and are therefore not attributed any function here.
What is the difference between vitamin D2 and vitamin D3?
D2 (ergocalciferol) has a plant or fungal origin; D3 (cholecalciferol) is synthesised in the skin through sunlight exposure and, in supplements, is traditionally obtained from lanolin or, in vegan versions, from lichens. D3 is the most commonly used form in supplements and the one found in most products in this collection. Both are converted in the body, but D3 maintains serum levels more stably.
Can I take several of these supplements at the same time?
It is possible, but it is advisable to sum the doses. A multivitamin usually already includes vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc, and adding isolated products on top of that can easily exceed the maximum limits, especially for zinc and fat-soluble vitamins A and D. Sum what is on each label before combining, and talk to a healthcare professional if you are taking medication.
