What is ImmunPro? ( sometimes misspelled as Immunopro ). What are its benefits? How do you use it? How much does it cost? Read on to discover the answers to these questions and more.
Your immune system is constantly busy, keeping away intruders like bacteria, viruses, and other germs. Amid this pandemic, your immune system is especially challenged. If you’re looking to boost your immune system, you should consider taking a vitamin c and zinc supplement like ImmunPro.
Vitamin C and zinc have many health benefits, including boosting immunity, wound healing, and reducing the risk of age-related eye disease. Vitamin C also supports the absorption of plant-based iron, while zinc is necessary for the body to make DNA and for cell division. Seafood and meat are the best sources of zinc, while fruits and vegetables are good sources of vitamin C.
You can also get vitamin C and zinc from supplements separately, or you can have them both in one combined supplement like ImmunPro.

ImmunPro (ImmunoPro) Benefits
ImmunPro is a nutritional supplement that contains a combination of vitamin C and zinc.
Together, vitamin C and zinc help the body’s natural defense against damaging free radicals and help boost immune function. Free radicals are very reactive and unstable chemicals produced during normal body activities that require oxygen (i.e. immune system response, respiration, blood circulation, digestion, etc.) and after exposure to cigarette smoke, UV light, and other pollutants.
One major effect of zinc is on the ability of cells to properly replicate their DNA, which is necessary or cells to multiply. Therefore, zinc is crucial for normal cell growth, repair, and renewal.
Furthermore, vitamin C and zinc also function as cofactors of enzymes involved in collagen formulation and synthesis. Collagen provides elasticity and strength to the skin and helps promote faster wound healing.
ImmunPro, which contains both vitamin C and zinc, also plays an important role in providing adequate nutrition and immune defense. This supplement may be given to prevent or treat certain deficiencies caused by different diseases, poor nutrition, or pregnancy.
Some people also take this supplement to reduce the severity of symptoms linked with the common cold or to promote overall wellness.
Important functions of vitamin C and zinc:
| Nutrients | Functions |
| Vitamin C | The body’s major water-soluble antioxidant acts as the first defense against free radicals in the aqueous (water) phase including blood, plasma, and other intracellular and extracellular fluids A cofactor of enzymes involved in the formation of collagen, the most abundant protein essential in the formation of bones, teeth, cartilage, and skin. Collagen provides strength and elasticity to the skin and helps promote faster wound healing Forms part of the body’s natural immune system; it stimulates the activity of antibodies and immune cells which inhibit foreign antigens such as bacteria and viruses that are harmful to the body |
| Zinc | Cofactor of various enzymes involved in cell division and growth Required for the normal development and maintenance of the immune system; helps regulate the activity of cells involved in immune function Functions as an antioxidant by being a cofactor of the enzyme superoxide dismutase which is involved in the removal of harmful free radicals Essential for skin integrity and wound healing; it stabilizes cellular components and membranes and promotes tissue renewal and repair by acting as a cofactor of enzymes involved in protein and collagen synthesis |
