Immunity

The immune system is made up of cells, tissues and organs that act in the organism’s defense against the harmful effects of external microorganisms. The supplements indicated for immunity act as strengthening agents of this system, increasing the antibodies production and, consequently, its defense activity.

White Blood Cells Function

The three compounds in ZMA play crucial roles in the immune system. Zinc is essential for the elaboration and health of immune cells. It is also linked to diminishing risks of infections and wound healing. Magnesium is a major anti-inflammatory, as it reduces markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6, maintaining heart health and preventing cancer. At last, Vitamin B6 helps leukocytes (white blood cells) production and enhances their capacity to fight infection and inflammation.

Negative

Compound Description

Iron and Zinc can directly interfere with each other Absorption. The increase in dietary iron concentrations meddles negatively in Zinc bioavailability, while high intakes of Zinc results in lower serum ferritin. In the same way, Calcium-rich foods can decrease Zinc absorption, when consumed at the same time, thus high calcium diets might modify body’s requirement of zinc.

Compound

Vitamin A

P/N
