Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)

Vitamin C is one of the best researched immune system boosters,
and a key antioxidant of the Central Nervous System.

Studies have shown that supplementation with vitamin C can  improve physical performance, with an average increase in muscle strength of 8-25%.

Bioactivity:

Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient for humans. It is a potent antioxidant and a cofactor for a family of biosynthetic and gene regulatory enzymes contributing to immune defense by supporting various cellular functions of human immune system. It supports epithelial barrier function against pathogens and promotes the oxidant scavenging activity of the skin, thereby potentially protecting against environmental oxidative stress. Vitamin C accumulates in phagocytic cells, such as neutrophils, and can enhance chemotaxis, phagocytosis, generation of reactive oxygen species, and ultimately microbial killing. It is also needed for apoptosis and clearance of the spent neutrophils from sites of infection by macrophages, thereby decreasing necrosis/NETosis and potential tissue damage.

Immunotropic Benefits:

Vitamin c has been shown to enhance immunity by promoting differentiation and proliferation of B- and T-cells, with its gene regulating effects. It has been tested as an antioxidant molecule, a neuromodulator of synaptic activity as well as a neuroprotective agent. Vitamin C deficiency results in impaired immunity and higher susceptibility to infections. In turn, infections significantly impact on vitamin C levels due to enhanced inflammation and metabolic requirements. Furthermore, supplementation with vitamin C appears to be able to both prevent and treat respiratory and systemic infections. Prophylactic prevention of infection requires vitamin C uptakes of 100-200 mg per day.

Vitamin D 

Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) also known as the "sunshine vitamin" has a critical role in the innate immune system through the production of antimicrobial peptides - particularly cathelicidin

Vitamin D has been shown to increase the production of antimicrobial peptides, which are molecules that help to fight off infections, by up to 25%. Vitamin D supplementation has been shown to improve muscle strength by an average of 8% in older adults and to reduce the risk of falls by 22%.

Bioactivity:

1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)), the active form of vitamin D, has a physiological role beyond its well-known role in skeletal homeostasis as an amazing immunomodulator targeting various immune cells, including, macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells (DCs), as well as T & B-lymphocytes, thus modulating both innate and adaptive immunity. Inside human body certain immune specific responses leads to the production of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D) at sites of infection, which in turn directly induces the expression of genes encoding antimicrobial peptides also stimulating autophagy (a mechanism critical for control of intracellular pathogens such as M. tuberculosis).

Immunotropic Benefits:

Strong laboratory and epidemiological evidence links vitamin D in modulating innate immune cells furthermore it also promotes a more tolerogenic immunological status. In vivo data of vitamin D supplementation in humans have shown beneficial effects of vitamin D on immune function, in particular in the context of autoimmunity. Vitamin D could have an important role in the prevention and possible treatment of a number of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus and Type I diabetes, are associated with vitamin D deficiency. Latest research from Newcastle University proves a direct effect of vitamin D on Mitochondrial activity of energy generation. All patients reported an improvement in symptoms of fatigue after taking the vitamin D supplementation. Furthermore It enhances mood, reduces depression and anxiety and helps in overall better feeling.
