Orthomol Immun® is a dietary food used for special medical situations. It is taken to strengthen the immune system, for example in the case of infections. In the case of certain diseases or certain therapies, the immune system is weakened.
Even then, the existing immune deficiency can be treated with Orthomol Immun®. An example of an acute weakening of the immune system is chemo- and/or radiotherapy for a malignant disease. In general, Orthomol Immun® is therefore suitable for the supplementary treatment of nutritive immune deficiencies.
Ingredients
Orthomol Immun® contains micronutrients that are essential for good immune defense. Vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, selenium, copper, folic acid, vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 are important for the functioning of the immune system. In the case of an infection or similar, the cells of the immune system must divide quickly in order to effectively resist the attack of bacteria or viruses, for example.
Vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B2 as well as zinc, selenium, copper and manganese help the cells to protect themselves against oxidative stress. This oxidative stress is specifically produced by immune cells to kill bacteria and parasites. In order that the body’s own cells are not damaged, a supply of the above-mentioned substances (especially vitamin C) is particularly important.
For this reason, these are also called antioxidants. Vitamin A, Vitamin B2, Biotin and Niacin have a protective effect on the mucous membranes. This is also very important for a good defence against pathogens, as bacteria and viruses penetrate the body via defective mucous membranes.

- Zinc plays an important role in the regulated cell division, Vitamin A positively affects the cell specialization. Generally the body needs the possibility for fast cell division for the infection defense, here beside zinc also the Vitamine mentioned above are needed, since they represent important components for the structure of cell material.
