C-1000 Zinc & D-3: Strong Immunity, Antioxidant Protection and Bone Support – Advanced Formula for Defense, Energy and Recovery

C-1000 Zinc & D-3, NOW Foods is a complex dietary supplement that brings together three essential nutrients for optimal body functioning: vitamin C (1000 mg), vitamin D3 (50 μg / 2000 IU) and zinc (15 mg, from Albion™ bisglycinate). This combination is designed to support the immune system on multiple levels – from protective barriers and cellular immune response, to antioxidant mechanisms that protect tissues against oxidative stress. At the same time, vitamin D3 and zinc contribute to maintaining bone health, muscle function, hormonal balance and regeneration processes, while vitamin C supports collagen synthesis, skin health and blood vessel integrity.

In daily life, the body is constantly exposed to factors that can weaken immunity: psychological stress, fatigue, sleep fluctuations, unbalanced diet, pollution, cold periods or seasonal changes. In these contexts, the need for micronutrients involved in defense and recovery can increase. Vitamin C is one of the most important water-soluble antioxidants, involved in leukocyte function, cellular protection and regeneration of other antioxidants. Vitamin D3, the active form preferred by the body, is essential for modulating immune response and maintaining bone density, and zinc is a key mineral for immunity, healing, protein synthesis and the functioning of enzymes involved in antioxidant protection. The use of zinc bisglycinate (Albion™) brings the advantage of a chelated form, recognized for tolerance and bioavailability.

Through this formula, C-1000 Zinc & D-3 provides complete support for people who want support during demanding periods, in cold season, during periods of stress exposure or for anyone seeking to consolidate their wellness routine with fundamental nutrients.

Detailed Benefits of C-1000 Zinc & D-3

• Supporting the immune system on multiple levels

An efficient immune system needs resources to react quickly and in a balanced way. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system by supporting the activity of defense cells and through its antioxidant role. Vitamin D3 is involved in modulating immune response, helping the body maintain adapted reactivity, and zinc supports the development and functioning of immune cells, being essential in signaling and cellular replication processes.

✅ Supports immune response against seasonal challenges
✅ Contributes to maintaining balanced immunity, not just "reactive"
✅ Helps the body maintain its defense capacity during demanding periods

• Antioxidant protection and reduction of oxidative stress

Oxidative stress occurs when free radical production exceeds the body's neutralization capacity. Vitamin C acts as a major antioxidant in the body's aqueous environment, protecting cells and contributing to the regeneration of other antioxidants. Zinc is indirectly involved in antioxidant defense, being a component of some enzymatic systems that protect cell membranes. Through this synergy, the formula supports tissue protection against environmental factors and metabolic stress.

✅ Helps protect cells against oxidation
✅ Supports body resilience against fatigue and daily stress
✅ Contributes to maintaining cellular functions long-term

• Collagen synthesis and support for skin, blood vessels and connective tissues

Vitamin C is an essential cofactor in collagen synthesis, the structural protein that supports skin, blood vessels, gums, ligaments and cartilage. Adequate intake can support tissue integrity and skin appearance, especially under conditions of oxidative stress or during demanding periods. Zinc complements this action through its role in tissue repair and protein synthesis.

✅ Supports skin elasticity and healthy appearance
✅ Contributes to blood vessel and connective tissue integrity
✅ Supports the body's natural regeneration processes

• Bone health and muscle function through vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 has a central role in calcium and phosphorus metabolism and contributes to maintaining bone system health. In addition, vitamin D is important for muscle function, tone and coordination. In the context of modern lifestyle (spending time indoors, reduced sun exposure), maintaining a stable intake of vitamin D3 becomes relevant for overall body support.

✅ Contributes to maintaining bone density and skeleton strength
✅ Supports muscle function and recovery after effort
✅ Helps maintain mobility and body stability

•  Albion™ chelated zinc: enzymatic support, regeneration and functional balance

Zinc is involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions, influencing DNA synthesis, cell division, protein and carbohydrate metabolism. The bisglycinate chelate form (Albion™) is appreciated for being better tolerated and efficiently utilized by the body. Zinc is also essential for skin regeneration and recovery processes after demands.

✅ Supports normal enzyme functioning and cellular metabolism
✅ Contributes to recovery and tissue regeneration
✅ Supports the body's general balance during periods of stress

• Energy, vitality and resistance during demanding periods

When immunity is challenged, the body can more quickly consume antioxidant resources and micronutrients involved in metabolism. Vitamin C contributes to reducing fatigue and exhaustion and supports energy metabolism, while vitamin D3 and zinc support fundamental functions that maintain tone, recovery and resilience. This combination can be relevant for active people, those with busy schedules or during periods of seasonal transition.

✅ Helps maintain energy and general tone
✅ Supports the body during periods of increased physical or mental effort
✅ Contributes to recovery and metabolic adaptation

• Support for oral health and mucosal integrity

Mucous membranes represent the body's first line of defense. Vitamin C supports gum and oral tissue health through its role in collagen, and zinc contributes to maintaining skin and mucosal integrity. Together, they can support the body's protective barrier against irritating factors and oxidative stress.

✅ Supports gum and oral cavity health
✅ Contributes to maintaining mucosal integrity and natural barrier
✅ Helps protect tissues exposed daily to external aggressions

• Immune balance and long-term support for the body

A major advantage of the C + D3 + Zinc combination is that it is not limited to "short-term support," but can contribute to maintaining the body's basic functions: defense, regeneration, antioxidant protection, tissue structure and metabolism. The formula provides a core of fundamental micronutrients for a lifestyle oriented towards prevention and resilience.

✅ Supports a balanced immune response, adapted to modern rhythm
✅ Supports cellular protection and regeneration through essential nutrients
✅ Contributes to maintaining general health through nutritional synergy
