Boost Your Immunity With 5-hour ENERGY®
Build Up a Healthy Immune System
Since the start of Phase 3 in December last year, more Singaporeans have been heading out to reconnect with friends and family, especially during the Lunar New Year period. With the increasing crowds in public spaces, let’s explore how we can boost our immune system.
What is the Immune System?
The immune system is a complex network of cells and proteins that defends the body against infection. It keeps a record of every germ or virus it has defeated so that it can recognise and combat them quickly if they enter the body again. How, then, can one maintain a healthy immune system?
Vitamin B for Immunity Support
• Vitamin B3 (Niacin) Reduces Inflammation in the Lungs
• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) Regulates the Immune System
Vitamin B6 increases the production of a powerful anti-inflammatory protein called IL-10 in the body. This protein regulates the immune response, helping clear infections while minimizing damage to the body.
• Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) Maintains Immune System Balance
To stay healthy and support your immune system, it’s important to maintain the right levels of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is essential for the production of red blood cells, DNA, and cell growth. Low levels of vitamin B12 result in increased inflammation and decreased immune response.
