COLLVITAL VITAMIN C+ZINC+D Supplement 60 caps

Zinc is a mineral that is very present and has extensive functions in our body. It is essential for the regeneration of cellular tissues and for the synthesis of DNA.

It is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and protects cells against oxidative damage. It is vital to ensure correct growth and development in childhood and during pregnancy.

It also contributes to the correct functioning of the cognitive system and nervous system , protects skin cells and participates in the growth of hair and nails. It is also involved in the production of hormones such as testosterone and is an active part of some of the enzymes involved in the metabolism of fats, proteins and carbohydrates.

Although zinc is found in many foods of animal origin (red meat, fish, poultry, some shellfish, etc.) and vegetables (vegetables, nuts, cereals, etc.), it does not accumulate in the body, so in certain circumstances (periods of convalescence, overexertion, fatigue,...) its contribution must be increased to maintain and strengthen the body's natural defenses.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that increases resistance to infections.

It contributes to the healthy maintenance of tissues, activates collagen synthesis, helps wound healing and intervenes in the formation of cartilage, bones and teeth.

Due to its antioxidant properties, it protects cells against oxidative damage. It facilitates the absorption of iron contained in foods of plant origin, thus, in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia, the ingestion of vitamin C is advisable.

Vitamin D participates in the absorption of zinc, calcium and phosphorus that contribute to the development and maintenance of strong bones. In addition, it participates in the functioning of the immune system by stimulating macrophages and dendritic cells, which are the "front line soldiers" of the immune system.

In this way, our body reacts quickly in case of aggression. It also increases pathogen elimination mechanisms, such as the synthesis of antimicrobial agents by immune cells.
