The autumn-winter period is the time of year when our body is most susceptible to a weakening of immunity. A deficiency of micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals can have a negative impact on the functioning of the immune system and thus impair immunity. Furthermore, the microbiological balance of the digestive tract plays a crucial role in the formation of immunity. Therefore, providing an adequate dose of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and substances that support digestive function is essential in maintaining immunity.
