What is L. casei Shirota?
Vitamin D – it’s a nutrient our bodies need in small amounts to work properly and stay healthy, from supporting our immune system to maintaining our bone and muscle health. Getting enough vitamin D is essential to keep your immune system running smoothly. Bring on the sunshine!
Vitamin E is an amazing nutrient! Not only does it support your immune system, it also helps to maintain healthy skin and eyes, and plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells. It also acts as an antioxidant – helping protect your cells against oxidative damage. Go vit E!
