Defend-er

Defend-er is a comprehensive supplement that supports immunity, which should be important for everyone, especially for people who are physically active. The supplement contains ingredients that take care of immunity, but also support resting and exercise metabolism. Inosine exhibits antiviral activity and is also a precursor of ATP ﾖ a basic unit of energy (the lowest floor of energy metabolism). Lysine is an amino acid that also prevents infections, and is essential for the synthesis of carnitine, which enables the use of fat for energy. CLA supports immunity by stimulating increased lymphocyte production. Naringenin from grapefruit together with CLA and lysine support efficient fat metabolism and protect against its excessive accumulation, which poses a threat to immunity (overdeveloped fat tissue promotes inflammatory processes). Zinc and histidine (a component of carnosine, an amino acid essential during immune disorders) defend the body against oxidative stress, which is a threat to immunity. The supplement is recommended for everyone, especially people with a high level of stress (e.g. intensive efforts, strenuous work), during flu season.
