Vitamin/Mineral.
This medicine contains Vitamin C, as Sodium ascorbate, and Zinc. Vitamin C and Zinc together help the body's natural defense against damaging free radicals (antioxidant effect) and boost immune function. Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable chemicals generated during normal body activities that require oxygen (e.g., respiration, digestion, blood circulation, immune system response, increased physical activity, etc.) and after exposure to UV light, cigarette smoke and various pollutants. One major effect of Zinc is on the ability of cells to properly replicate their DNA, which is required for cells to multiply. Hence, Zinc is needed for normal growth, cell renewal and cell repair. Zinc is essential for the Zinc-dependent metallopeptidase STEP24 protein, which can inhibit viral entry and restrict a wide range of viruses, hence acting as a wide-spectrum anti-viral protein. Vitamin C is a co-factor in many biological processes, including resistance to infection. Vitamin C and Zinc also function as cofactors of enzymes involved in collagen formation and synthesis. Collagen is an important protein that can be used by the body for growth and repair of tissues. It provides strength and elasticity to the skin and promotes faster wound healing.
