Zinc capsules with vitamin C and L-histidine
This food supplement by Vitamintrend provides you with high-dose vitamin C, zinc, and the amino acid histidine.
One capsule contains 300mg vitamin C, 10mg zinc, and 100mg histidine. Vitamin C is available in the form of calcium ascorbate, which is easy on the stomach, and zinc is available in the form of bioavailable zinc citrate.
Zinc and vitamin C for the immune system
The trace elements zinc and vitamin C are the most popular micronutrients when it comes to supporting the immune system. For good reason: It has been scientifically proven in numerous studies that these two nutrients support the function of the immune system.
It is now known that zinc is a component or co-factor of more than 200 enzymes and proteins. In the immune system, the so-called scavenger cells (called macrophages or leukocytes), T-helper cells, T-killer cells, and NK cells (natural killer cells) depend on a good supply of zinc. In addition, zinc ensures that antibodies are released into the blood. The immune system can therefore only do its important work if there is sufficient zinc available in the organism.
Like zinc, vitamin C (scientific name: L-ascorbic acid) supports both the cellular immune response (T-killer cells) and the humoral immune response (antibodies).
Important cell protection
Besides the function of the immune system, zinc and vitamin C also support cell protection by neutralizing free radicals before they can cause damage to the cells.
Free radicals are produced in manageable quantities during metabolism and can be beneficial to immune function. However, if there is an excess of free radicals, it is called oxidative stress. It is triggered by various factors, including smoking, high-performance sports, and harmful substances. Antioxidants such as vitamin C and zinc can help to neutralize free radicals and thus protect cells.
Histidine: An interesting amino acid
L-histidine is a proteinogenic and semi-essential amino acid. In the organism, it is involved in the formation of endogenous proteins, e.g. structural proteins like collagen or functional proteins like enzymes or immune proteins.
Histidine is semi-essential because the organism is able to produce small amounts itself. However, if there is an increased need, it may be advisable to prefer foods rich in histidine or to take food supplements.
In addition, histidine is the starting substance of various other amino acids and of histamine, which is involved in the function of the immune system and the defense against foreign substances.
