Your body’s immune system needs to work a little harder when it’s cold outside! Know why? It’s because cold weather can have an impact on immune system function for several reasons.
First, lower temperatures could have a negative impact on your immune system.[1] We typically spend more time indoors and thus cold and flu viruses spread easier,[2] while breathing cold air can narrow the blood vessels, preventing the white blood cells (immune system cells) from reaching the mucous membranes and therefore weakening your body’s immune system.[3]
Support your wellness* with daily supplementation of Nutrifii™ Vináli™. A special blend of Vitamin C, citrus bioflavonoids and the extracts of grape seed, grape skin, Indian gooseberry (amla), acerola cherry and green pepper.
Vitamin C contributes to immune system support by helping various body functions of both the innate (first part of the body to detect invaders) and adaptive (second and specific line that are called to action to “combat” the specific invader) immune systems, by helping both the number and the effectiveness of the immune system cells.[4]
Vitamin C is also important for other functions and has been shown to enhance the development of the proteins that are important for these processes.[5] A study indicated that supplementation of Vitamin C caused a statistically significant increase in key proteins required for immune system health[6]. The extracts of acerola cherry and green pepper provide a wholefood source of vitamin C, which contribute to the immune system support* of your body.
So, what are you waiting for? Go on … get Vináli today!
