Aloe Vera Drinking Gel Immune Plus – zinc, selenium and vitamin C to back your immune system

Do you feel run-down as the evenings get darker?

Shorter days, a busy calendar and a full office or classroom: autumn and winter are when many of us want to look after ourselves a bit better. Immune Plus is the drinking gel built for that time of year. Instead of a single vitamin, it brings together three nutrients that all contribute to the normal function of the immune system: vitamin C, zinc and selenium. One day’s serving gives you the full reference intake of vitamin C and zinc and 82% of selenium.

The taste is part of the appeal. Ginger juice and lemon give it a warming, zesty character, and honey keeps it smooth. Vitamin C also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and zinc has a role in the process of cell division. If you like the idea of a hot lemon and ginger drink, this is its everyday, ready-to-pour equivalent.

• Shake before use and keep the bottle in the fridge once opened, then use it up promptly.
• Do not exceed the recommended 90 ml a day. Keep out of reach of young children.
