Boost Your Immunity with 5-hour ENERGY®

Build up a healthy immune system
Since the start of Phase 3 in December last year, more Singaporeans have been heading out to reconnect with friends as well as family over the Lunar New Year period. With the growing crowd in public, let’s explore what we can do to help boost our immune system.
So, what is an immune system? It is a complex network of cells and proteins that defends the body against infection. The immune system keeps a record of every germ or virus which has ever defeated so it can recognise and fight off the bacteria or viruses quickly if it enters the body again. How does one maintain a healthy immune system then?
Vitamin Bs for Immunity Support
To do so, vitamin Bs supplements may be the answer. Not only are B-vitamins a literal powerhouse in energy production for your body, but they also play a significant role in the regulation of the immune system.
Vitamin B3 (niacin) helps to reduce inflammation in the lungs
Vitamin B3 is a key component of the chemical that catalyses various metabolic pathways. When activated, it decreases the level of pro-inflammatory substances in the body. Additionally, Nicotinamide – one of the two forms of vitamin B3 – functions to reduce viral replication.
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) helps to regulate the immune system
In the body, vitamin B6 increases the production of a powerful anti-inflammatory protein called IL-10. This protein regulates the body’s immune response, allowing the clearance of infection while minimising damage to the body.
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is crucial in maintaining healthy balance of the immune system
In order to stay healthy and support your immune system, it is important to maintain the right levels of vitamin B12 in your body. Vitamin B12 (also known as cobalamin) is essential for the production of red blood cells, DNA, as well as cell growth. Low levels of vitamin B12 results in increased inflammation and decreased immune response.
