Zilavir
Zilavir is a dietary supplement intended for people with the first signs of seasonal illness. Zilavir contains a high daily dose of zinc (15 mg) supplemented with lactoferrin, vitamins D, C, and selenium. Zilavir's ingredients support the proper functioning of the immune system (zinc, vitamin D, C, and selenium) and protect the body's cells from the harmful effects of oxidative stress (zinc, vitamin C, and selenium). Its complex of active ingredients supports the first line of defense in the fight against microorganisms.
Zilavir is a preparation supporting immunity for people over 15 years of age. The active ingredients contained in the Zilavir supplement have scientifically proven effectiveness in supporting the body during autumn and spring ailments.1
The Zilavir dietary supplement is manufactured in accordance with the guidelines of the Nutropharma Quality System (NQS). This innovative, proprietary program guarantees the highest production standards and optional certification confirming the safety and effectiveness of the preparations. The product meets food safety and quality requirements for microbiological, heavy metal, and active ingredient analyses conducted by the accredited Eurofins laboratory.
What does Zilavir contain – ingredient properties:
- Lactoferrin - is a protein with immunomodulatory properties. It activates immune system cells and limits the penetration of microorganisms into cells.2 Lactoferrin occurs naturally in colostrum, the first breast milk, which appears only in the first few days after birth. It is also a component of saliva and tears.3 Lactoferrin has the ability to bind iron ions. This element is essential for bacterial growth. By limiting its availability, lactoferrin limits the proliferation of microorganisms.4
- Zinc – supports the immune system and has antioxidant properties. Zinc supplementation may beneficially affect the duration of seasonal indispositions, shortening them by up to 2 days.5 In the immune-supporting supplement Zilavir, zinc is combined with gluconic acid. This form is characterized by high bioavailability.6
- Selenium – has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the immune system. Like zinc, it protects cells from oxidative stress.
- Vitamin C – helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. It has antioxidant properties. Vitamin C supplementation may shorten the duration of seasonal indispositions.7
- Vitamin D – performs many important functions in the body. It also affects the functioning of the immune system.
- Citrus bioflavonoids – increase the bioavailability of vitamin C by approximately 30%.8
