Our body relies on our immune system in fighting off infectious agents and viruses. Measure the three critical nutrients that are crucial for strengthening the immune system: Zinc, Vitamins D and C.
STARTS AT ₱6,000.00
-
10 to 12 hours fasting
-
3 days prior: Discontinue all nonessential medications and dietary supplements. If not possible, specify the list of medications and supplements the patient is taking.
Patient preparation
- Measures the levels of Zinc, Vitamins D and C that are crucial for strengthening the immune system
- Provides clinically accurate information to clinicians to develop personalized dietary and supplementation protocol
Our body relies on our Immune System in fighting off infectious agents and viruses. Zinc, Vitamins D and C play an important role in our immune system through its synergistic role in body processes.
Zinc and Vitamins D and C at an optimal level are beneficial for your immune health. Are you sure you are getting the right amount to keep you protected?
Micronutrients Tested
- Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
Promotes collagen production and protects cell membranes from free radical damage. Improves anti-microbial effects by supporting the production of White Blood Cells and other immune cells. Increases the generation of antibodies.
- Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D)
Regulates anti-microbial proteins that support a healthy gut barrier which 70% of our immune system is found. Protects the lungs against infections and maintains its epithelial cells. Regulates and enhances the immune cell function.
- Zinc
Maintains our skin and tissues which acts as our first line of defense in fighting off viruses. Regulates the function of immune cells by preventing oxidative damage, and DNA function involved in the production of antibodies particularly immunoglobulin. Maintains the immune tolerance.
