General strengthening of the immune system

home

» Zinc 10+C

In Russia, about 50 million cases of infectious diseases are registered annually, of which up to 90% of cases are ARVI

A person’s ability to resist the influence of adverse factors, as well as infection, is called immunity. Each person has innate or nonspecific – genetically determined protection inherited from parents, as well as acquired (adaptive) immunity, which reflects the individual’s personal experience of contact with pathogens and the environment.

Immune defense plays an important role in our lives, because the frequency and severity of morbidity depends on its readiness to repel the attack of an infectious pathogen.

Infections of various kinds pose a serious threat to public health, as they cause systemic inflammatory processes that contribute to the development of severe pathology in various localizations, heart disease, vascular disease, dementia, the development of diabetes mellitus and stroke. In addition to infectious causes of immune dysfunction, they are often associated with a lack of synthesis of proteins, vitamins, and microelements in the body.

What to drink for immunity?

The body's resistance to infection depends on many factors, and it is important to know what can affect your health and what to avoid.
To support immunity, there are a number of vitamins and minerals that have well-studied effects. Immunity boosting vitamins and microelements are vital substances needed by our body to maintain many of its functions; their lack in the daily diet, combined with exposure to adverse environmental factors and stress, leads to a weakened immune system.

Most of them come from food, and only a few are synthesized in the body. The lack of these substances affects not only the functions of individual organs and systems, but also negatively affects mental and physical activity, general well-being, appearance, regeneration and growth processes, the body’s ability to withstand the destructive influence of various environmental factors, etc. If the intake of vitamins and minerals from food is insufficient, their inclusion is recommended for preventive and therapeutic purposes.

What vitamins strengthen the immune system?

Among vitamins for strengthening the immune system, the leading place is given to vitamin C.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is the No. 1 remedy for the prevention and treatment of influenza and all kinds of colds. Vitamin C has a stimulating effect on the body, increasing its adaptation capabilities and resistance to infections, and regulates the rate of production of antibodies, which are necessary to fight infection. With a lack of vitamin C, immunity decreases and the risk of developing colds increases.

Vit. C is an active substance that increases the resistance of all body systems to infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria, as well as various diseases. An insufficient amount of it reduces the rate of antibody production, which leads to a weakening of the body's resistance to various diseases. Medicines containing vitamin C are often used to strengthen defenses during the period when many people suffer from colds (most often in autumn and winter). This biologically active substance makes it difficult for microbes to enter cells through cell membranes, which is associated with the stabilization of cell protein molecules.

(Zn) Zinc is one of the most powerful minerals; it has a powerful effect on the immune system, increasing the body’s protective activity, accompanies the production of T cells necessary to destroy bacteria and viruses, and protects the skin and mucous membranes from inflammatory processes. With a lack of zinc, lymphocytes are poorly synthesized, thereby reducing the body's defenses.

A decrease in our defenses is associated with both a Zn deficiency and a lack of vitamin C. Strengthening and increasing immunity can be achieved by combining zinc with vitamin C.

The combination of zinc and vitamin C has a stimulating effect on the body, increasing resistance to infections, and strengthens the immune system.

Additional source of zinc and vitamin C to strengthen immunity

To compensate for Zn deficiency, it is necessary to establish a work and rest schedule, a diet and culture, and a sleep schedule. But, unfortunately, with the modern rhythm of life and daily busyness, this does not always become realistically feasible.

Currently, there are known drugs and dietary supplements that generally strengthen the immune system.

Strengthening and restoring immunity

Frequent colds, prolonged fever, chronic fatigue, pain in muscles and joints, frequent headaches, sleep disturbances, skin rashes are signs of impaired immunity.

Our body is constantly exposed to environmental factors, including the action of foreign infectious agents. In the surrounding air there are many pathogenic microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi) that constantly enter through the upper respiratory tract when breathing. But local factors of the protective system, located on the mucous membranes of the nasopharynx and oropharynx, destroy microbes, preventing the latter from entering the bloodstream.

As a rule, most of us think about strengthening and maintaining immunity only during a severe cold. Restoring immunity after a long illness requires attention, since the worse the immunity, the more often colds occur, which last a long time and with complications. It is especially important to stabilize the defenses after taking antibacterial drugs, which have a detrimental effect on resistance against free radicals.

Every year, especially in autumn and winter, colds and flu most often reduce immunity. As a rule, the first question among the working-age population is what to drink at the first sign of a cold? Most often, the choice falls on anti-inflammatory drugs containing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which reduce temperature and pain, and increase overall protective properties. But this is not always enough. So what vitamins are best to use to boost immunity?

The use of drugs that contain Zn, and especially in combination with vitamin C, for example, zinc, vitamin C, significantly helps with colds, which has been proven by experts. Zn reduces the duration of colds and viral diseases by almost half.

It is quite difficult to restore immunity after a cold in a short time. As a rule, during this period there is a weak immune system in an adult, and what should be done? The body is weakened by infectious agents.

What vitamins should I take for immunity?

Immunity Zinc and Vitamin C

Zinc and vitamin C are components that naturally increase the body's resistance to infections and colds, especially in cases where unfavorable conditions (hypothermia, overheating, stressful situations) weaken the body's resistance.

Vitamin for strengthening and restoring immunity

The first drugs for colds, capable of stopping the inflammatory process in the first day and hours, as well as increasing our defenses, are most often complex drugs. Most of the population is aware of what vitamins for immunity are included in such preparations. This is undoubtedly vitamin C. However, not everyone knows that this compound works better in combination with a microelement such as Zn.

How to take zinc for colds?

Vitamin C + Zinc 500 mg No. 20 chewable tablets.

Instructions for medical use of the drug VITAMIN C + ZINC Trade name Vitamin C + Zinc International nonproprietary name No Dosage form Chewable tablets Composition One tablet contains active ingredients: ascorbic acid 500 mg (in the form of ascorbic acid 200 mg and sodium ascorbate 337 mg)*, zinc 15 mg (as zinc citrate dihydrate 46.67 mg); excipients: mannitol, copovidone, crospovidone, aerosil, sucralose, orange flavor, magnesium stearate. * - in the form of ascorbic acid 200.00 mg or ascorbic acid coated with ethylcellulose 205.13 mg (equivalent to 200.00 mg of ascorbic acid) and sodium ascorbate 337.00 mg (in terms of ascorbic acid 300.00 mg). Description Round tablets of white or almost white color with a flat surface, with a depressed part in the center, with a chamfer. Minor inclusions are allowed. Pharmacotherapeutic group Digestive tract and metabolism. Vitamins. Ascorbic acid, including combinations with other drugs. ATC code A11GB Pharmacological properties Pharmacokinetics Ascorbic acid is actively absorbed in the small intestine. The maximum concentration in plasma after oral administration is reached after 4 hours. The level of depot in the body is approximately 1.5 g. About 25% is bound to plasma proteins. It undergoes biotransformation in the liver into deoxyascorbic acid, and then into oxaloacetic and diketogulonic acids. Unmetabolized ascorbate and metabolites are excreted by the kidneys, intestines, as well as in sweat and breast milk. The absorption of vitamin C may be impaired by diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (gastritis, ulcers, constipation, diarrhea, helminthic infestation, giardiasis), consumption of fresh fruit and vegetable juices, and alkaline drinking. When the concentration of the drug in plasma increases to more than 1.4 mg/100 ml, its elimination increases. Smoking and abuse of ethyl alcohol accelerates the breakdown of ascorbic acid, sharply reducing its reserves in the body. Zinc is absorbed in the intestines, distributed in tissues and included in a number of enzymes and biologically active substances. 90% of zinc excreted from the body is excreted in feces, 2–10% in urine. Calcium supplements and a diet rich in calcium can reduce the absorption of zinc by almost 50%, and caffeine and alcohol actively remove it from the body. Pharmacodynamics Ascorbic acid (vitamin C), as an antioxidant, metabolic and regulating agent for redox processes, increases the body's adaptive capabilities and increases its resistance to infections. Takes part in the regulation of redox processes, in the metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, pigments and cholesterol, in the synthesis of steroid hormones, catecholamines, and in the process of blood clotting. Enhances collagen synthesis, stimulates regeneration processes, normalizes capillary permeability. Due to the activation of respiratory enzymes in the liver, it enhances its detoxification and protein-forming functions, increases the synthesis of collagen and prothrombin. Improves bile secretion, restores exocrine function of the pancreas. Inhibits the release and accelerates the degradation of histamine, inhibits the formation of prostaglandins and other mediators of inflammation and anaphylaxis. Has an anti-inflammatory effect. Regulates immunological reactions (activates the synthesis of antibodies, C3 component of complement, interferon), promotes phagocytosis, increases the body's resistance to infections. Has an anti-inflammatory effect. The daily requirement for ascorbic acid in adults is 70–100 mg, in pregnant women and during breastfeeding – 100–120 mg, in children, depending on age – 30–70 mg. Zinc is a structural component of biological membranes, cellular receptors, proteins, and is part of more than 200 enzymatic systems. Takes part in the reactions of immune and antioxidant defense, blood formation, amino acid synthesis, and in the preservation and transmission of genetic information. As a component of the protein that transports retinol, zinc, together with vitamin A and vitamin C, prevents the occurrence of immunodeficiency by stimulating the synthesis of antibodies and exerting an antiviral effect. It is necessary for the formation of red blood cells and other blood cells. Zinc normalizes fat metabolism, ensures normal function of the endocrine glands, including the synthesis of insulin, growth hormone, corticotropin and somatotropin. Supports sexual and reproductive functions - necessary for the metabolism of vitamin E, which is a precursor to sex hormones and is included in the production of testosterone; zinc is also important for the normal functioning of the prostate. The daily requirement for zinc is 15 mg. Indications for use The drug is used for preventive purposes, as well as in complex treatment of: - hypo- and avitaminosis of vitamin C - zinc deficiency in the body Method of administration and doses Vitamin C + Zinc is taken after meals, the tablet is chewed and washed down with a small amount of water. Adults are prescribed 1 tablet 1 time per day. In case of severe vitamin deficiency, you can take 1 tablet 2 times a day for a short time (for 5–7 days). The duration of treatment depends on the nature and course of the disease. Side effects Often: - nausea, vomiting, heartburn, diarrhea Rarely: - headache, increased excitability of the central nervous system, insomnia - formation of stones Very rarely: - allergic reactions: skin itching, rash - in persons with blood glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency corpuscles can cause hemolysis of red blood cells Contraindications - hypersensitivity to the components of the drug - thrombophlebitis, tendency to thrombosis - diabetes mellitus - urolithiasis - hemochromatosis, thalassemia - childhood and adolescence under 18 years of age Drug interactions Vitamin C + Zinc increases the concentration in the blood of salicylates, ethinyl estradiol, benzylpenicillin and tetracyclines, reduces the blood concentration of oral contraceptives. Reduces the anticoagulant effect of coumarin derivatives. Improves the absorption of iron preparations in the intestines. Increases the total clearance of ethyl alcohol. Quinolone drugs, calcium chloride, salicylates, corticosteroids, with prolonged use, reduce vitamin C reserves. Corticosteroids reduce the level of vitamin C and zinc. The simultaneous use of ascorbic acid and deferoxamine increases tissue toxicity of iron, especially in the heart muscle, which can lead to decompensation of the circulatory system. It can only be taken 2 hours after the deferoxamine injection. Large doses of the drug reduce the effectiveness of tricyclic antidepressants. Special instructions When using the drug Vitamin C + Zinc in large doses, it is necessary to monitor kidney function and blood pressure, as well as pancreatic function. Use with caution in cases of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and renal dysfunction. The drug can change the results of various laboratory tests (blood glucose, bilirubin, transaminase activity, lactate dehydrogenase). During long-term treatment, glucose level monitoring is necessary. Because ascorbic acid increases iron absorption, its use in high doses may be dangerous in patients with hemochromatosis, thalassemia, polycythemia, leukemia and sideroblastic anemia. In patients with high iron levels in the body, it is necessary to use ascorbic acid in minimal doses. Vitamin C + Zinc should be prescribed with caution to patients with advanced cancer, as its use may accelerate the process. Use during pregnancy and lactation Prolonged use of vitamin C in high doses during pregnancy can adversely affect the development of the fetus. Use during pregnancy is not recommended. Ascorbic acid passes into breast milk; use of the drug during lactation is not recommended.
