A megapotency of vitamin C, plus echinacea, goldenseal, astragalus, elderberry and garlic.

Vital Health's Cold Facts Advanced™ ingredients are:

• Vitamin A (Fish Liver Oil)
  Vitamin A is required for proper vision, immune system, reproductive, and skin health, as well as for proper growth and development of our body.
  
  Specifically for the immune system, vitamin A is required to mount an effective immune reaction against infections. Indeed, people with low levels of this vitamin are more susceptible to infections, especially viral infections.
  
  
• Vitamin C
  Vitamin C is one of the body's best antioxidants. As part of its health functions, vitamin C can enhance the immune system functions by improving white blood cell function, antibody levels, antibody functions, and more.
  
  One of the popular uses of vitamin C is for the common cold. In fact, there are over 20 clinical studies on this aspect of this vitamin's health benefits. The majority of these studies concluded that this vitamin C can reduce the severity and duration of the cold.
  
  In times of stress, our body's requirement of vitamin C increases, so be sure to get enough of it.
  
  
• Niacin
  Niacin, or vitamin B-3, is famous for its ability to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. This nutrient has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help your body fight off infections.
  
  
• Vitamin B-6
  This workhorse vitamin is required by no fewer than 100 chemical and metabolic processes in our body. Of particular interest is vitamin B-6's role in the formation of red blood cells, maintaining hormonal balance, and boosting the immune system.
  
  Today, about one-third of adults actually do not get enough vitamin B-6 from their diet, mostly due to eating processed food. Be sure to get enough of this vitamin by taking your daily supplements.
  
  
• Folate
  Folate or Folic acid is well known for its health benefits of protecting against heart disease and preventing birth defects. Folic acid can also boost the production of red blood cell, which is required for your body to mount an effective immune response against infections.
  
  Since cooking destroy the folic acid content in food and vegetables, and that our body does not retain folic acid (it is secreted in urine), it is important to get your daily supply by taking supplements.
  
  
• Pantothenic Acid
  Also known as vitamin B5, pantothenic acid is essential for almost all functions of our body from growth to energy metabolism to reproductive health.
  
  The health benefits of pantothenic acid are varied: specifically, it helps our body manage stress and prevent fatigue during cold and may help reduce the symptoms of allergies.
  
  
• Zinc
  This essential trace mineral is actually needed by all cells in our body to function properly. It is believed to strengthen the immune system by promoting white blood cell formation.
  
  Low levels of zinc have been linked with decreased immune response. Studies have suggested that this can be reversed by simply taking zinc supplements for several months.
  
  Zinc's role in fighting colds and flu is also becoming very popular. Indeed, when taken at the first symptoms of colds and flu, zinc can shorten the severity and duration of the disease by as much as half!
  
  
• Astragalus
  Astragalus is an ancient Chinese herb, used for thousands of years for its healing powers. Astragalus can help improve our overall health and immunity by helping our body fight off viral and bacterial infections such as flu, colds, and sinus infections.
  
  
• Echinacea Root
  Echinacea is a very popular herbal medicine used to stimulate the immune system cells against infection. Echinacea's health benefits include reducing the symptoms and duration of colds, flu, and sore throats, speeding up wound healing, and building immunity against chronic infections.
  
  
• Osha Root
  Osha root is a traditional medicine used to treat viral infections, heal coughs, sore throat and other lung conditions.
  
  
• Cordyceps sinensis
  Cordyceps is a fungus that has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine for its antioxidant and antiviral properties. Cordyceps can also boost the immune system and modulate its response against infections.
  
  
• Elderberry Fruit
  Derived from the elder shrub, elderberries are rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and other plant compounds that can protect against free radical damage, allergies, and viral infections. Elderberry can also help our body produce perspiration and encourage sweating to "break" a fever.
  
  Studies of elderberry fruit preparations suggest that it can kill flu virus in the lab. When given to patients, scientists also confirmed its ability to ward off flu infections quickly.
  
  
• Quercetin
  Quercetin is a flavonoid with beneficial antioxidant properties, found in various plants. As an antioxidant, quercetin can seek out and neutralize harmful free-radicals molecules that can damage cells and tissues in our body.
  
  Taken together with vitamin C, quercetin can help treat allergy and other sinus problems.
  
  
• Stinging Nettle Leaf
  Stinging nettle leaf inhibits the production of adrenaline, a hormone released by the adrenal glands that give us that "fight or flight" response.
  
  
• Ginger Root
  Ginger root, in addition to its use as a spice, is also used in traditional medicine for treating colds and allergies. Science suggests that ginger's anti-histamine properties and its ability to dilate constricted bronchial tubes can offer relief from various respiratory conditions.
  
  
• Mullein Leaf
  Mullein Leaf has served many purposes over the centuries, from making candlewicks to casting out evil spirits, but as medicine it was primarily used to treat diarrhea, respiratory diseases, and hemorrhoids. Mullein leaves and flowers are classified in traditional herbal literature as expectorants and demulcents.
  
  
• Bioperene®
  Bioperene is a standardized extract of black pepper. Besides its use as a spice, black pepper is used for reducing stress in the liver in Ayurvedic medicine.
  
  Bioperene contains a minimum of 98% piperine, the active ingredient of pepper found only at about 3% concentration in raw forms.
