Acti-C Immune Booster 20 Effervescent Orange

Acti-C Immune Booster is an orange-flavoured effervescent tablet that delivers vitamin C together with zinc, the two nutrients most people reach for first when colds are going around. The fizzy format is absorbed quickly, is easy on those who dislike tablets, and adds a glass of water to your day. Twenty tablets cover the peak weeks of cold and flu season. Vitamin C is water-soluble and cannot be stored, so immune cells rely on a regular supply. It is also the cofactor for collagen formation, which makes it important for skin, gums and wound healing. Zinc is required by more than 300 enzymes. It is essential for immune cell development, wound repair, normal skin and the senses of taste and smell.

When everyone around you is coughing, your own vitamin C and zinc levels are what stand between you and the next cold. Requirements rise during infection, stress, smoking and recovery from illness, exactly when appetite for fresh fruit and vegetables tends to drop.
