Immunity
The vitamins and minerals behind a healthy immune system, and how to keep hydrated when you're under the weather.
About this topic
Immunity
A balanced diet gives your body the vitamins and minerals it needs, and some play a particular role in your immune system. Our immunity guides look at the best vitamins for your immune system, why vitamin C and zinc are so often paired together, the benefits of tart cherry juice and elderberry, and what to drink when you're feeling under the weather.
Vitamins A, B12, C and D and zinc all contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Drinks with added vitamins can be a convenient way to top up, alongside a varied diet, and staying well hydrated matters too, especially when you may be drinking less than usual.
Vidrate Cherry Immunity adds vitamins A, C, D and B12, plus zinc, to your water in a cherry flavour.
