Selenium is a vital trace mineral found in nutrient-rich foods like Brazil nuts (boasting an impressive 544 mcg per ounce!), sunflower seeds, fish, poultry, onions, and grains. Unlike plants, which do not require selenium, the selenium content in plant-based foods depends entirely on soil quality. Brazil nuts, for example, are sourced from selenium-rich soils in Brazil, making them one of the most potent natural sources.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;

Dietary preformed Vitamin A is absorbed in the upper part of the small intestine in a similar manner to fat absorption. Short chain retinal esters are hydrolysed by pancreatic lipase and long chain retinal esters by an enzyme in the cells of the small intestine. The released vitamin A (Retinol) is absorbed into the small intestine cells where it becomes bound to a protein (Retinol binding protein 2 ). This intracellular retinol is re-esterified and packaged into chylomicrons in the lymphatic system and then released into the general circulation.

There are 2 types of immunity, one is an immediate response and one is adaptive. Adaptive immunity changes over time and develops an “immune memory”. The major components of the immune system involved in these 2 immune responses are the skin, thymus, spleen, bone marrow, white blood cells, antibodies, complement system and hormones. It is important to maintain good levels of micronutrients to optimise the different elements of the immune system. A deficiency of certain micronutrients can have an adverse effect on innate immunity. Metabolics have incorporated these nutrients into this formulation in order to produce a powerful immune support formula. Immunomax contains, Vitamin A, B6, B12, C ,D, E and K as well as zinc , copper, selenium, folic acid, astaxanthin, glutamine and olive leaf extract.

Zinc also contributes to the normal function of the immune system under normal conditions and is known to be essential for all highly proliferating cells in the human body, particularly those found in the immune system. All kinds of immune cells show decreased function after zinc depletion. In monocytes, all functions are impaired, whereas in natural killer cells, cytotoxicity is decreased, and in neutrophil granulocytes, phagocytosis is reduced. Impaired immune functions due to zinc deficiency are shown to be reversed by adequate supplementation of zinc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin A\u003c\/strong\u003e - This is provided in the form of Beta Carotene to prevent any of the toxicity issues associated with Vitamin A.
