Beneficial Effects

Vitamin C and zinc play important roles in providing adequate nutrition and immune defense. This supplement may be given to prevent or treat certain deficiencies caused by poor nutrition, different diseases, medications, or pregnancy.
Zinc is a trace element found in almost all body cells and tissues. It is the second most common metal found in the human body after iron. Acting as an antioxidant and immune system booster, zinc helps to stabilize enzyme reactions that inhibit the generation of free radicals during metabolic processes. This helps reduce inflammation caused by free radicals, improves the integrity of our cells, and consequently helps us fight against infections, such as the common cold and pneumonia.
