Zinc C CWS supports immune function using a combination of zinc and vitamin C.
Zinc is essential for the development and proper function of innate immune
cells, including both neutrophils and natural killer (NK) cells.2 Optimal zinc
status may also help to maintain macrophage function and cytokine production. In
a 7-month, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted
on 40 healthy young adult participants, daily supplementation with 15 mg of zinc
significantly increased plasma zinc levels and supported immune health.4 In
healthy elderly participants with low-to-normal zinc status, daily
supplementation with 10 mg of zinc for 7 weeks significantly increased the lytic
activity of NK cells and positively modulated levels of the cytokine interleukin
6 (IL-6).
