We have never thought about strengthening the immune system as much as this year. And until now, strong immunity remains the number one task, because the period of mass vaccination has just begun.
On the crest of the pandemic, vitamin D and zinc have become incredibly popular. And as it turned out, for good reason. It turns out that they are more in demand for the flawless functioning of the immune system than the long-recognized vitamin C. And after them, other vitamins and microelements that are no less important for health and immunity came to the fore. Which? We tell in our article, sort out their action on the shelves, and also find out an important question: can an excessive enthusiasm for vitamins harm health?
Top vitamins for immunity
Remember the most popular three immunoprotectors: vitamins D, C and zinc… Now they run the show as the most important helpers of immunity. Vitamin D regulates immunity, has anti-inflammatory properties and is critical for activating the protective functions of the immune system. Low levels of this “sunshine” vitamin increases susceptibility to infections and the risk of respiratory diseases, including tuberculosis and asthma. Moreover, vitamin D deficiency is associated with decreased lung function, which is why it has become so in demand during a pandemic.
The importance of vitamin D for human health is the subject of extensive research around the world. Scientists are discovering more and more new facets and possibilities of this vitamin. In addition to preventing diseases of the skeletal system, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, vitamin D has a positive effect on the psychological and emotional state of a person, and inhibits the development of depressive disorders.
It is for these reasons that it is recommended, with the help of a doctor, to determine the dosage necessary for your body, if there really is a deficit (and who does not have it, especially in our latitudes, especially in winter with constant work indoors?).
There is no evidence that vitamin D supplements reduce your risk of developing COVID-19, but having healthy levels of vitamin D in your body can help boost your immune system and increase your chances of a quicker recovery if you do get infected.
In Russia, the daily prophylactic dose of this vitamin is 600-800 IU, for people aged 800-1000 IU. If you take it in high doses for a month or more, intoxication can occur, which is manifested by drowsiness, impaired appetite, arrhythmia and high blood pressure, so it is safer and more reliable to take this vitamin as part of proven multivitamin complexes, in which the daily dose is clearly defined. In addition, vitamin D is best taken with calcium and magnesium. Magnesium assists in the absorption of vitamin D, and calcium, which the body needs for the health and strength of bones, teeth, muscles and the nervous system, cannot be absorbed without magnesium and vitamin D.
Synergy of Vitamin D and Zinc
The second important element of health and strong immunity is zinc. Zinc increases the production of white blood cells – leukocytes, which are the body’s first line of defense against viruses, bacteria and other pathogens, helps our immune system release more antibodies. Zinc plays a key role in cellular metabolism, immune, digestive, cardiovascular, wound healing, and reproductive health. Zinc is also actively involved in the regulation of inflammation. Thus, the normal zinc content in the body can support its resistance to inflammatory and infectious diseases.
Zinc and vitamin D are the main ingredients of many over-the-counter cold medicines, as the presence of these ingredients in the body shortens the duration and severity of the disease. Research findings on the role of zinc in the prevention and treatment of viral infections в журнале International Journal of Molecular Medicine.
The first signs of zinc deficiency are prolonged healing of small wounds and abrasions, brittle nails and hair loss, irritability and fatigue, decreased sense of smell and taste, and frequent stomatitis. The health authorities’ upper tolerance for zinc is 40 mg per day for adults. Its overdose can be toxic – cause nausea, diarrhea, change in taste, flu-like symptoms. Therefore, as in the case of vitamin D, it is better to take zinc as part of a dietary supplement, so as not to puzzle yourself with complex calculations of its daily requirement. In addition, zinc is better absorbed together with phosphorus, calcium and vitamin A, which once again speaks in favor of multivitamin complexes with correctly selected components.
Old acquaintances are friends of immunity
Of course, we shouldn’t forget about other vitamins that take care of our health and immunity – this is probably a sore mouth for everyone, but nevertheless a powerful immunostimulant and antioxidant. vitamin Cthat promotes the division of T-lymphocytes that kill viruses and bacteria, vitamin A and supporting the defense of immune cells vitamin E… These vitamins are perfectly combined, enhance the action of each other, and together form a strong antioxidant complex that increases the production of antibodies, prevents the development of tumor cells, and slows down aging.
Of great importance for female immunity and B vitamins, magnesium, iodine, selenium – they support emotional health, increase stress resistance, relieve PMS symptoms, stimulate the immune system, improve skin condition, normalize sleep, and reduce the risk of obesity in internal organs.
Women are also at risk for iron loss due to menstruation, do not get the right amount of this micronutrient, and vegetarians. Iron deficiency leads to anemia, fatigue, muscle weakness, dry skin, and hair loss. Hardware necessary for normal hemoglobin levels and strong immunity. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to whether your multivitamin contains this important component. Vitamins C, B are excellent for the absorption of iron12, folic acid. It is important to remember that iron intake should be distinguished from tea drinking or coffee breaks, since this capricious element is quickly excreted from the body along with urine.
Hormonal balance is the basis of strong immunity
Probably many already know that women’s immunity is closely related to hormonal balance. Any violation of this delicate balance weakens the female body, making it more susceptible to infectious diseases. Therefore, it is important to monitor the state of your hormonal background and be observed more often by a gynecologist and endocrinologist.
You can maintain hormonal levels with the help of phytoestrogens. These are plant analogues of female hormones estrogen, which normalize hormonal levels, have a beneficial effect on well-being and mood, prolong the youth of the body and at the same time have no side effects, unlike synthetic hormones. Taking medications with phytoestrogens is useful not only for women over 45 years old, but also for women of a younger age, because the decrease in estrogens – hormones of youth and women’s health – begins at the age of 30.
Immunity, energy, youth in one biocomplex
Finding a good multivitamin complex for immunity, despite the abundance of drugs in the pharmacy, is sometimes not easy at all. It is necessary to carefully study the composition, check the recommendations and reviews. It is important to understand that women need their own vitamins, with the correct composition and a well-defined dosage. We advise you to pay attention to special women’s biocomplexes, which, in addition to all the necessary vitamins and microelements, contain special plant extracts with a strengthening and rejuvenating effect on the body.
