Why are these four minerals tested in the Immune Support test?

  • Copper: Essential for the development and maintenance of immune cells that defend against infections. It also supports the body in energy production and the absorption of iron from the gastrointestinal tract.

  • Manganese: is a co-factor for mitochondrial superoxide dismutase, an important antioxidant enzyme that protects cells from damage by reactive oxygen species.

  • Selenium: Is a crucial component of enzymes that protect against oxidative stress, including glutathione peroxidase. It also supports thyroid health, which produces hormones essential for regulating the immune response.

  • Zinc: Zinc is critical for the normal development and function of both innate and adaptive immune responses. It acts as a co-factor for over 300 enzymes and is involved in cell division, DNA, and protein synthesis. It can inhibit the replication of viruses and is associated with reduced duration and severity of cold symptoms.
