Supporting immunity with Nutreat
There has never been a more important time to improve our immune system in the current environment and Nutreat Pro40 nutritional supplement powder can support your immune system in fighting off infection.
There are many nutrients that are involved with the normal functioning of the immune system and research shows improving nutrition helps support optimal function.
The micronutrients essential in fighting infection include vitamins A, B, C, D, E and the minerals Iron, Zinc and Selenium.
VITAMIN A
helps to form the structural component in skin, respiratory and gut cells. This forms a barrier and is your body’s first line of defence. Vitamin A also helps to make antibodies which neutralise bacteria, viruses or other microorganisms that cause infection.
B VITAMINS
Once your body has recognised a microorganism that causes infection, B Vitamins influence the production of ‘natural killer cells’ which cause infected cells to die by a process called Apoptosis.
VITAMIN C and E
help to prevent oxidative stress to cells, which increases inflammation in the body, occurring when your body is fighting an infection.
VITAMIN D
modulates immune cells and helps destroy microorganisms that cause infection. Deficiency is associated with an increased susceptibility to infection.
IRON
is required for immune cell growth and also helps to kill invading microorganisms. Deficiency affects the ability to have an adequate immune response.
ZINC
helps to fight infection, heal wounds and maintain the integrity of the skin and mucous membranes.
SELENIUM
can lower the level of oxidative stress in the body, reducing inflammation and enhancing immunity.
