Used as a dietary supplement to support immune system function, commonly taken during cold and flu season or by individuals with inadequate dietary intake of these essential nutrients.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) provides antioxidant protection and supports immune cell function, while zinc gluconate is essential for normal immune cell development, differentiation, and communication. Together they support the body's natural defense mechanisms.

Generally well-tolerated but high doses of zinc can cause nausea or interfere with copper absorption. High doses of vitamin C may cause digestive upset in some individuals. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant, nursing, or taking other medications. Do not exceed recommended daily allowances unless directed by a physician.
