But how can we not become another victim of these common diseases in winter? The answer is simple: strengthening immunity.

And how to do that? By consuming daily polyvitamin nutritional supplements such as Biomulti.

The Biomulti is a vitamin and mineral supplement with a combination of vitamins essential for strengthening the immunity of the human body, thus becoming the best ally against flu and colds for your health.

The ingestion of a pill provides 100% of the recommended daily dose of these vitamins and minerals for adults, according to RDC No. 269/05.

See below all the vitamin and mineral elements that make up the Biomulti and the function of each of them for the health of your body:
Vitamin C
Also called ascorbic acid, classified in the group of water-soluble vitamins, vitamin C plays an important role in the maintenance of connective tissue, strengthens the immune system against infectious processes, acts as a powerful antioxidant, facilitates the absorption of iron, collaborates with the synthesis of some amino acids and also provides resistance to bones and teeth.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is the name used to name eight different compounds that belong to two groups: tocol and tocotrienol.

Vitamin E has as its main and best known function the antioxidant action, being α-tocopherol the most potent in this regard. It is important in delaying aging and even in preventing serious diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular problems, diabetes, cataracts and Parkinson's disease. It is also related to decreased platelet adhesion, protection of red blood cells against hemolysis (destruction of these cells) and prostaglandin synthesis.
Zinc
Zinc is a mineral necessary for the proper functioning of the immune system. The body does not produce zinc, so external sources are needed for its supply.

Zinc is an essential component of the active site of many enzymes and plays an essential role in hundreds of body processes. This mineral is necessary even for the proper functioning of the immune system, zinc can even help in the treatment of more serious diseases such as AIDS, and still rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia and possibly multiple sclerosis.

Lack of zinc leads to symptoms such as delayed cell growth, chronic diarrhea, delayed sexual maturity, poor appetite, and autoimmune system deficiency.
Pantothenic Acid
Pantothenic acid, also called vitamin B5, is important for a variety of biological activities, including energy production, protein and fat synthesis, and is needed by many different types of skin cells for proper regeneration and growth.

The human body needs vitamin B5 to break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates from the foods we eat, so that our body can use them as a source of energy and rebuild tissues, muscles and organs.

Vitamin B5 also works to convert nutrients from food into energy, balance blood sugar, reduce bad cholesterol, lower blood pressure, prevent nerve damage, prevent pain, and prevent heart failure.

Pantothenic acid also significantly increases glutathione levels in cells, which acts as a potent antioxidant in the skin. Increased glutathione levels protect against oxidative damage to cell membranes, reducing the effects of sun damage, pollutants and other skin aggressors. This can help reduce the signs of aging, prevent wrinkles and even defend against skin cancer.


Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2, also called riboflavin, is important for the body because it participates in functions such as stimulating blood production and maintaining proper metabolism.

The adequate consumption of vitamin B2 is important because it performs the following functions in the body: it participates in the production of energy in the body; it favors growth and development, especially during childhood; it acts as antioxidants, preventing diseases such as cancer and atherosclerosis; it maintains the health of RBCs in the blood, which are responsible for oxygen transport in the body; it maintains the health of the eyes and prevents cataracts; it maintains the health of the skin and mouth; it maintains the good functioning of the nervous system; it reduces the frequency and intensity of migraines.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine, performs functions in the body such as maintaining metabolism and adequate energy production, protecting neurons and producing neurotransmitters, important substances for the proper functioning of the nervous system.

Adequately consuming vitamin B6 is important for health because it participates in the production of energy in the body; it helps in the production of neurotransmitters, important substances for the good functioning of the nervous system; it improves the immune system; it prevents anemia, by stimulating the production of RBCs, the cells that carry oxygen in the blood; prevents heart disease; prevents morning sickness during pregnancy; helps prevent eye diseases and loss of vision; prevents depression; helps relieve PMS symptoms and helps relieve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis by reducing inflammation.
Vitamin B1
Thiamine (vitamin B1) is classified as one of the B complex vitamins. Thiamine (vitamin B1) enters the formation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a molecule that every cell in the body uses as an energy source. All B-complex vitamins, including B1, help the body convert carbohydrates ingested into fuel (glucose) for body function. They also help in the metabolism of fats and proteins.

The B complex vitamins contribute to a healthy liver, and still benefit the eyes, skin and hair. They are also involved in the proper functioning of the nervous system and are necessary for brain function. Thiamine strengthens the immune system and improves the body's ability to withstand stressful conditions.


Copper
Copper is an essential metal for the human body and is responsible for the production of energy and functions of various enzymes in our body, the brain and liver are two of the organs which copper is essential for them to function perfectly. Along with this function, copper is also responsible for maintaining the balance of other metals within our body, such as zinc and molybdenum. The body's defenses, bone health, cartilage and pigmentation of hair and skin are other functions that require copper.

The body does not produce copper and therefore the need to consume it so that its levels remain adequate in our body.
Vitamin A
Considered one of the most important, vitamin A is also called Retinol and is famous for its antioxidant composition, which strengthens the immune system and protects the skin.

Vitamin A has very important functions in people's bodies, among them, the improvement in vision, aid in growth, contribution to the formation of teeth, collagen formation, in addition to being necessary for cellular renewal.

Because it is a substance that has an antioxidant action, vitamin A is beneficial for combating acne, in addition to inhibiting carcinogenesis, that is, the formation of cancer, fight anemia, prevent skin ulcers, improve immunity and avoid periodontitis.
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 regulates heart function and blood pressure, which occurs by controlling the growth of smooth muscle tissue cells, the degree of myocardial contraction, and the inhibition of an enzyme called renin (responsible, among other things, for relieving heart pressure and effort).
Folic Acid
Folic acid, also known as folate, methylpholate, or vitamin B9, is a water-soluble B complex vitamin present in many items of the daily diet. Folate occurs naturally in food and folic acid is the synthetic form of folate. It is necessary for numerous body functions. Among them: DNA synthesis and repair, cell division and growth, production of new proteins, formation of RBCs. Folate is important for cardiovascular and nervous system health.

For pregnant women, folate is especially important for good fetal development and neural tube formation. Supplementation should begin at least one month before pregnancy and is essential in the first eight weeks after conception. This is because it is in this period that occurs the development of the nervous system and neural tube of the fetus.

In order for the immune system to be strengthened, a number of factors are needed, including B-complex vitamins, including folate.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is water-soluble and helps maintain healthy metabolism of the nervous system and red blood cells. It also reduces the risk of DNA damage and can be good for your muscles. This nutrient also prevents pernicious anemia, also known as megaloblastic anemia.
