Overview
Vitamin A
Vitamin A helps maintain mucous membranes and immune function. When vitamin A is lacking, mucus-producing cells are replaced by keratin-producing cells, and the membranes become tough and more vulnerable to organisms. Vitamin A is a critical immune supporting nutrient.4
L-Lysine
L-lysine is an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized in the body on its own. Lysine must be derived from protein sources in the diet in order for the body to function properly.
Pantothenic Acid (vitamin B5)
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is a water-soluble B complex vitamin. D-calcium pantothenate is a heat stable form of B5. About 85% of pantothenic acid in food occurs as a component of coenzyme A (CoA). As a component of CoA, pantothenic acid is essential to help maintain the body’s ability to metabolize
The body’s immune system is a complex and dynamic defense system that comes to our rescue at the first sign of exposure to an outside invader. The dynamic nature of the immune system means that all factors that affect health need to be addressed in order for it to function at peak performance.
Immune Nutrition Base
Viracid contains a blend of zinc, vitamin C and vitamin A, which each play a major role in supporting a healthy, functioning immune system.
Zinc
Zinc is a mineral that works synergistically with vitamin A in activating thymic factor, a thymus hormone with vital immune supporting properties.1 Maintaining optimal zinc levels also helps maintain helper T-cell lymphocyte function, NK cell activity, macrophage function, and antibody production. 2
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is well known for its ability to support immune response. Vitamin C concentrations decline rapidly in the body during periods of stress. Dietary intake is therefore crucial during immune challenges.3 Vitamin C has been found to be helpful in supporting specific components of the immune system including NK cell activity and lymphocyte function. 3 Vitamin C also provides antioxidants for the support of good health.nutrients and form tissue.
