🛡️ Supplements to boost immunity

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that the body cannot produce itself. It supports the immune system, collagen production and the absorption of iron from plant foods. Need increases with intense exercise or stress.

Vitamin D3 is produced by the skin on sun exposure, but most people in northern Europe get too little for most of the year. It plays a crucial role in calcium absorption for strong bones and supports the immune system, muscle function and energy levels.

Zinc is an essential trace element involved in hundreds of enzymes in the body. It plays a key role in immune response, wound healing, DNA synthesis and testosterone production. Vegetarians and athletes often have a higher need.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that, in the right amounts, provide a health benefit. They support the balance of gut flora, which influences digestion, immune function and even mood. Not all strains work the same — quality varies greatly between products.

Quercetin is a flavonoid found abundantly in onions, apples and berries. It has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and is being researched for its potential as a senolytic (clearing away aged cells). Interesting for allergies, recovery support and general health.
