Immune system
How to choose
- Compare the daily dose, not the pack size: vitamin D is given in µg or IU (1 µg = 40 IU), vitamin C and zinc in mg, next to the % of the nutrient reference value (NRV).
- If you take several supplements, add up the same ingredients: vitamins C and D and zinc often appear in several complexes at once.
- Form: tablets and capsules are easy to carry, drops and sprays are easier to dose, liquid complexes suit those who find tablets hard to swallow.
- For children, choose products whose label states the age and the dosage for children.
