Vitamin D3 & Zinc: Two Vital and Important Nutrients for Immune Health
As we move into the cooler months and spend more time indoors, it’s a good time to think about two nutrients that play important roles throughout the body: vitamin D3 and zinc.
Both are well known for supporting healthy immune function—but their benefits go well beyond seasonal wellness.
Why Vitamin D3 Matters
Our bodies can produce vitamin D when our skin is exposed to sunlight, but maintaining healthy vitamin D levels can become more challenging when we spend less time outdoors.
According to Life Extension, vitamin D3 supports healthy immune function, strong bones, and cognitive health. Vitamin D receptors are found throughout the body, making adequate vitamin D important for overall wellness. Our body does not produce Vitamin D; we must get it from our diet.
Life Extension’s Vitamin D3 7,000 IU (175 mcg) provides a high-potency dose in one convenient soft gel. Because vitamin D needs vary, Life Extension recommends a blood test to determine your vitamin D status and working with your healthcare provider to find the right dose for you.
Why Zinc Is Important
Zinc is an essential mineral that our bodies cannot produce, so it must come from our diet or supplementation.
Life Extension notes that zinc is required for the activity of more than 300 enzymes and plays an important role in healthy immune function, normal protein synthesis and antioxidant defenses.
Life Extension’s Citrus-Orange Zinc Lozenges provide 18.75 mg of zinc per lozenge in a convenient, pleasant-tasting form.
Together, vitamin D3 and zinc support some of the body’s most fundamental functions – making them valuable nutrients to keep in mind as we head into fall and winter.
