Active principles

Vitamin C: one of the most important vitamins for our body, which however is unable to synthesize it and should therefore be taken with the diet. In addition, it does not accumulate and it is necessary to take it constantly to keep its blood levels stable.

Echinacea (Echinacea angustifolia): due to the richness of polyphenols (echinacosides) the root of this plant has immunostimulant activity useful for the functioning of the immune system.

Zinc: antioxidant mineral useful for supporting immune function.

Vitamin D: prohormone with an important role in bone tissue. In addition to this function, it shows important extra-skeletal actions at the level of the immune response.

Curiosity

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a soluble vitamin that has a fundamental role and that performs essential functions in the regulation of numerous biochemical reactions in the body: it participates in the formation of collagen, allows the development and maintenance of bones, teeth, blood vessels and connective tissues, is involved in the synthesis of corticosteroid hormones and antibodies and is necessary for the absorption of dietary iron.

Thanks to its antioxidant activity, it plays an important role in numerous immune mechanisms.

A long-term function attributed to vitamin C is to modulate the immune response especially with regard to colds (LARN, 2016).

Echinacea, on the other hand, is a plant widely used in the USA and Europe for the treatment of the common cold. The intake of its extracts is associated with a lower risk of recurrent respiratory infections and their complications. It has proven useful in preventing colds: it strengthens the immune response and can relieve symptoms (cough and hoarseness) and reduce the duration of the disease.

Zinc is a trace element that is part of the constitution of numerous enzymes that catalyze important reactions in our body. It is useful for the prophylaxis of colds and infections, and shows immunomodulatory and antioxidant activity.

Vitamin D, present in some foods and synthesized by our body through the action of sunlight, is an essential nutrient for human health.

Known mainly for its role in calcium absorption and bone mineralization, in recent years it has provided very interesting results regarding immunomodulation. The action of vitamin D has in fact been associated with an increase in innate immunity against different infections (LARN, 2016).
