CanPrev D3 2500IU MCT Base 120 Softgels We used to spend a lot more time outside, but for the majority of us, the nature of our modern lifestyles keeps us out of the sun. As a result of this, vitamin D deficiency is extremely common – studies show that 1 in 3 Canadians is deficient, and 2 in 3 have less than the recommended level. Vitamin D deficiency can manifest itself in symptoms like low immune function, fatigue, muscle weakness, mood imbalances and osteoporosis in older adults. We need this vitamin for many different things – calcium absorption, immune function, mood health, skin health, cardiovascular function, hormone balance, and even more. We choose D3 for our vitamin D supplements, because it’s the most natural form of vitamin D, and it’s easily absorbed in the body. One softgel contains your daily dose of 2500IU of vitamin D3 in a base of organic coconut oil for enhanced absorption. NFH Zinc SAP 60 Capsules Zinc SAP contains a highly absorbable form of zinc, called zinc picolinate. Zinc is a mineral that is essential in both innate and adaptive immune function. Zinc is also important to maintain connective tissue formation, intestinal health, and healthy skin. In addition, metabolism of carbohydrates, fat, and proteins to form red blood cells relies on zinc for proper function.

It’s first on the scene to heal wounds and form scar tissue, help with the development of bones and teeth, strengthen blood vessel walls and assist with iron absorption and utilization. It primarily helps to produce collagen by adding hydrogen and oxygen to amino acids inside of collagen cells, which helps keep skin firm and prevent wrinkles. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that blocks damage caused by ever-present free radicals in the body. Though they are natural byproducts of oxygen metabolism, free radicals can alter the structure of healthy cells, which can only be neutralized by antioxidants. If free radicals are allowed to build up in the body, they can quicken the ageing process and promote the development of serious diseases. We are unable to produce and store vitamin C on our own, so a daily intake of at least 500 mg contained in CanPrev’s Synergy C is key to replenishing what we lose through excretion daily. Certain medications like oral contraceptives, plus environmental pollution, smoking and illnesses causing fever and infection can all tap into our vitamin C supply, leaving less for metabolic functions. Studies show that vitamin C can also play a role in lessening or shortening the duration of common cold symptoms when taken regularly. Synergy C is a premium quality vitamin C formula with a combination of ingredients that together ensure maximum absorbability. It provides 1,000 mg of pH-neutral vitamin C using buffered mineral delivery systems. By binding ascorbic acid to minerals, Synergy C promotes maximum absorption of vitamin C. To further enhance absorption and bioavailability, therapeutic dosages of antioxidant-rich bioflavonoids from citrus fruits and sea buckthorn pulp have been added for complete synergy.
