Michael R. Ellison

We join you to welcome the New Year 2023!!

Wellness for a purpose has

been a theme and message I have shared for years. It is why we founded TriVita 24 years ago. In this catalog, you will read how purpose is being fulfilled in special ways! Thank you for your support, your prayers and care! Please read pages 18-21 featuring the projects of the House of Giving, a non-profit we founded, where 100% of donations go to the cause and need. TriVita members and employees made this possible!

I am thrilled to see TriVita becoming more focused on its greater purpose. The God purpose of advancing His kingdom! The purpose of bringing greater wellness to our world in physical, emotional and spiritual ways. Our world needs wellness!

Also, please consider ordering the books by Barry Borthistle. These books are miraculously written. The truth of living as God’s Temple with His spiritual authority will transform your life. These are the days when these truths must be revealed and lived! Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord! Psalms 33:12

As we enter the new year we are also entering the winter months. I encourage you to make wellness a key initiative. And supporting a strong immune system is a major part of it. Eat more whole foods and fruits containing vitamin C. Less processed foods are best. Get as much sun as you can for vitamin D. Then supplement! Load up on TriVita’s vitamins C, D, and Elderberry during these winter months. Knowing that chronic inflammation is your number one health risk, Nopalea with its 5X VitaPoints is science-backed in lowering C-reactive protein, an inflammatory marker, improved flexibility and mobility with a greater quality of life. Don’t let winter rob you of your quality of life.

We are doing everything possible for our members to have the opportunity to buy with 5X VitaPoints. That is earning 20% of your purchase price towards your next purchase. It is also our way of helping members fight inflation. Buy one featured product of 5X and all products qualify in the entire order!

May this new year of 2023 be blessed and filled with more wellness for you to enjoy and support your life purpose!

What Members are saying about Nopalea®:

“

My doctor was thinking I would need a knee replacement... but since taking the Nopalea it has really brought the inflammation down and my doctor says I no longer will need a knee replacement.”

— Terry R., Member since 2012

“

I have been using Nopalea for many years. Five years ago I had hip replacement surgery. After surgery, I had no pain and recovered quickly. I am still active and pain-free which I credit to Nopalea.”

ENJOY YOUR LIFE MORE, YOU DESERVE IT!

Let’s face it, each day we are at war with the dangers of chronic inflammation. Pollution, stress, poor sleep, obesity, lack of exercise, social isolation, and a pandemic have contributed to attacks against our immune system encouraging chronic inflammation. Unfortunately, most people don’t even realize they have chronic inflammation raging inside their bodies.1 Inflammation on its own is not a disease, but if left untreated can play a central role in some of the most challenging maladies of our modern world. Chronic inflammation diseases are the most significant cause of death in the world today.

SIGNS OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION

Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, psoriasis, eczema, asthma, allergies, joint pain, obesity, and gout are just some of the conditions that are most likely due to chronic inflammation. 3 Your body’s natural response is going the wrong way.

ANTIOXIDANTS ARE YOUR FRIEND

There is good news, however. As we become aware of risk factors happening inside of us, we can take action to reduce them. Studies have shown that we must do something to stop inflammation from getting worse. Antioxidants help promote and maintain good health and support immune function along with maintaining the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients. Chronic inflammation must be neutralized in order to achieve whole-body wellness. Antioxidants are a great way to move forward in this process.

TIPS ON HOW TO GET STARTED

Scientists are still learning about chronic inflammation, but we do know that chronic inflammation does not stop unless you do something to combat it. A good start to conquering chronic inflammation is eating a healthy diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables, good protein and fats, and some carbohydrates. Stay away from processed and high-sodium foods, artificial sweeteners, and simple carbs like white bread, sweetened cereals, and most desserts. Simply put, put down ready-to-heat boxed foods that you just toss in the microwave. Instead, choose fresh ingredients as often as possible. A healthier lifestyle also includes some sort of exercise even if it’s just walking.

YOU’VE GOT THIS!

The bottom line, chronic inflammation is real and is not fake news. This is not something you have to live with. If you desire to live your life with less pain, more mobility, and flexibility, you can choose a healthy lifestyle that can make a significant impact on your overall wellness and possibly your longevity.

IMPACTING YOUR LIFE? INFLAMMATION

Take the quiz and learn if you are at risk for chronic inflammation. Plus, ask your doctor about a test for C-Reactive Protein levels.

Check YES or NO to lifestyle risk factors that may indicate chronic inflammation:

YES | NO

Social Isolation – Do you spend a lot of time by yourself?

YES | NO

Stress – Are you feeling overwhelmed with your daily activities?

YES | NO

Disturbed Sleep – Do you get less than 7-9 hours of good sleep regularly?

YES | NO

Chronic Infections – Do you have open sores, painful red spots, or swelling?

YES | NO

Physical Inactivity – Has it been more than 30 days since you’ve exercised?

YES | NO

Poor Diet – Do you eat processed foods more than fruits and vegetables?

YES | NO

Obesity – Are you overweight or have excess fat that poses a health risk?

If you answered YES to 1 or more of the above, you may have increased risk for chronic inflammation. For a natural solution to inflammation, see page 9.

NOPALEA® PASSES THE TEST

We put Nopalea through an independent, double-blind, placebocontrolled clinical study and it passed with flying colors!

We want you to improve your quality of life and remain active. It means more time interacting with your family and friends. Thousands of TriVita members have had positive experiences from taking Nopalea on a regular basis. The test results have indicated that Nopalea can help you have less pain and more mobility. Isn’t that what you want?

Easy-to-swallow soft gels packed with a healthy dose of Vitamin D3

Many of us don’t get enough vitamin D. Causes of this deficiency may include:

Getting older. Vitamin D gets harder to absorb and synthesize with age.1 Staying indoors. Your skin needs sunlight in order to make vitamin D.2 Sunblock. Using SPF 8+ may reduce the skin’s vitamin D synthesis by 95%.3 Overweight. Carrying extra pounds may create vitamin D insufficiency risks.4

Essential D:

Designed for easy absorption, Essential D starts with 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol), a bioavailable form that matches what your body produces naturally. Calcium intake, when combined with sufficient vitamin D3, a healthy diet and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.

Vitamin D supports whole-body wellness:

• Helps in the absorption and use of phosphorus

• Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth

• Helps to prevent vitamin D deficiency

Essential D™

Quantity: 60 soft gels Serving size: 1 soft gel

Amount per serving: Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol)1000 IU, 25 mcg.

Other ingredients: Gelatin, soybean oil, glycerin, purified water.

This product contains soy.

DID YOU KNOW?

The following people are at higher risk for vitamin D deficiency:

• People living in nursing homes or other institutions or who are homebound

• People taking medicines that affect vitamin D levels

• People with very dark skin

Remember, every time you witness a rainbow, know that God will keep His promises to you despite your hardships, trials or other lifealtering circumstances.

For nearly 20 years, the House of Giving has been blessed to provide hope and healing to communities across the globe. Thanks to your contributions and support, our latest mission to provide Dream Rooms, a home to heal, rebuild and transform the lives of human and sex trafficking victims, has been accomplished with extraordinary success. Together we achieved what at first seemed impossible, yet, through your generous gifts, we not only built one room, we created nine rooms for young men.

Human trafficking was a developing story in the news and seemed like an important cause where we could give our services to those who desperately needed our help. Annie Ellison, the Director of House of Giving, became aware of a local ministry named Dream Center. Dedicated to rescuing human and sex trafficking and

providing them with a safe place to stay, recover and turn their lives around. The Dream Center facility is an old hotel that required construction and remodeling of the old, worn rooms to house these young adults safely.

These victims, forced into this horrible lifestyle, are traumatized and have a deep sense of “fight or flight” embedded in them. A safe, comfortable, private space helps calm them and gives them a sense of security, realizing they don’t have to run. Counseling, schooling, medical treatment and mentors help them by providing hope as they begin a new life in physical, emotional and spiritual wellness.

Chase Michael Ellison

There was an overwhelming need at the Dream Center for more rooms to be constructed and remodeled for the many new victims and soon-to-be human and sex trafficking survivors.

In late July 2020, the House of Giving began to raise the necessary funds to design and build new rooms. With our 2020 end-of-theyear House of Giving campaign, we received generous donations from TriVita members, employees, family and friends. At this point in the campaign, the facility only had programs available to female survivors and our goal was to complete one Dream Room. With the help of TriVita’s dollar-for-dollar match, we were close to accomplishing our fundraising goal.

On January 23, 2021, the world changed forever for Marcus and Annie and the Ellison family.

Early that day, Annie and Marcus were hiking on a local mountain and saw the most vibrant, colorful, majestic rainbow they had ever seen. The brilliance of this rainbow visibly moved everybody on the mountain. It was a sign from God in all His glory. They just weren’t sure yet what it meant.

On their way home, they stopped at a grocery store. Marcus got a phone call. The news was tragic. Their 18-year-old son Chase Michael Ellison was found dead from accidental fentanyl poisoning. Life would never be the same.

The shock and grief were overwhelming. Family, friends, TriVita employees and members all said and did what they could. It was tough. The Ellison family needed time to grieve and pray.

Shortly after, Marcus and Annie met with friends sharing their condolences and discussing how they could turn this tragedy into something good. Most were open to help monetarily or with whatever resources they had. The desire to build the Dream Rooms seemed even more urgent now. Jeff Hillis, a lifelong friend whose company builds luxury homes, offered to do the construction and remodeling work at his cost. Jeff also asked many of his vendors to donate materials for the rooms, and they did. But there was one significant change to come. The Dream Center contacted Annie and said they were starting a new Dream Room project and would like us to change the room design for male sextrafficked victims. They also asked if we could do more than one room because of the influx of newly rescued victims. It was then that Marcus and Annie, along with the help of Jeff, were determined to build not one, but nine rooms. This news was another sign that inspired the Ellison family to make this happen in the loving memory of Chase.

Annie Ellison, Jeff Hillis and Marcus Ellison

During the final walk-through for the rooms, Marcus and Annie met Irene Orr, the Program Manager for the Young Men’s portion of this project for The Phoenix Dream Center. There were two young men with Irene who are currently in the program. The young men were excited to share how they had accepted Jesus and how the Lord had saved them. One of them had been addicted to drugs, had overdosed more than once, and was tired of that life. The Lord and the Dream Center have saved him. The young man said, “I gave up Narcan (an overdose nasal spray) for Jesus.” Irene expressed how excited they all are to have this project almost completed. They have prayed about these rooms for a long time, knowing in God’s time, they will be complete.

The boys and Irene prayed over the rooms. Irene shared that she looked up when they finished praying over the rooms and saw two incredible double rainbows.

“I just got goosebumps! I have prayed over these rooms since March, when called to lead the program. Thank you, Jesus, for miracles, signs, and wonders!” Irene

Another sign. Marcus and Annie are confident that the rainbows are a message from God that He is with them on this project, that there is an afterlife and that Chase is with Jesus.

“The Lord is using us to rebuild and transform these rooms and to help in the healing and recovery of these young men, while at the same time He is rebuilding and transforming us.” Annie

We would love to give a huge heartfelt THANK YOU to all our donors, employees and TriVita members for your help in building the Dream Rooms. We had the vision to start with one room, but with overwhelming support, we accomplished what once seemed impossible: nine Dream Rooms!

With our heartfelt gratitude, Marcus & Annie

VitaCal-MagD™ K2

Ensure your calcium does what it’s supposed to

Vitamin K2 ensures the calcium (166.67 mg) in VitaCal-MagD™ K2 does what it’s supposed to— promote the calcification of bones and may support healthy blood vessels.

VitaCal-Mag D K2 also helps maintain proper muscle function, including the heart muscle.

Add in the benefits provided by magnesium (83.33 mg) and Vitamin D3 (166.7 IU), and you have a powerhouse of musculoskeletal support that other supplements on the market simply don’t provide.

Calcium plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bones, supporting their structure and function.1 Calcium intake, when combined with sufficient Vitamin D, a healthy diet and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.

But getting enough calcium from food alone can be a challenge. 2 On top of that, calcium absorption may drop by up to 20% in adulthood—and decline even further as we grow older, just when we start needing more.1,3

PREMIUM HEART HEALTH SUPPORT

THE BENEFITS OF B VITAMINS

Your overall system loves B vitamins. They make sure the body’s cells are functioning properly. B12 is probably the most popular of the B vitamins and is vital for neurological functions, energy and red blood cell development, but all of the B vitamins are great for you. Today, let’s talk about the synergistic benefits of how eight individual B vitamins work together to maximize energy and cellular health.

According to the National Institute of Health, B vitamins are primarily responsible for helping your metabolism work properly. B vitamins are dependent on a healthy microbiota in the gut. This shows not only the importance of the synergy of micronutrients working together but also how they rely on gut health.1 Your metabolism involves the chemical processes needed for life, such as making cells, creating energy from the food you eat and breaking down bi-products of energy and waste matter. B vitamins and how they interact with the body are essential to our overall health.

B Vitamins and their Benefits

B1 Thiamine: Needed for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, blood sugar regulation as well as nerve and muscle function.2

B2 Riboflavin: Needed for carbohydrate metabolism, red blood cell growth and development and cellular function.3

B3 Niacin: Converts food into energy, creates and repairs DNA, supports healthy cholesterol levels, and maintains cognitive function.4

B5 Pantothenic Acid: Especially important for breaking down fats and metabolizing carbohydrates and protein while supporting muscle endurance, nerve function, cognitive function.5

B6 Pyridoxine: Cardiovascular, brain and nerve support as well as protein metabolism.6

B7 Biotin: Converts carbohydrates, fats and proteins into energy and supports skin, hair and nails.7

B vitamins are water-soluble, which means that they dissolve in water inside your body and are then easily absorbed into tissue for immediate use. Because B vitamins are so easily absorbed and used, they cannot be stored like fat-soluble vitamins. For this reason, it is important to consume healthy, fresh, unprocessed foods, rich in B vitamins every day. This will also assist healthy microbiota in the gut. Combining foods rich in B vitamins with a healthy gut will maximize optimal digestion and metabolism of vital energy throughout the body. Primary sources of B vitamins in animal products consist of fish, meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products. B vitamins can also be obtained from plant sources such as green leafy vegetables, beans and peas.

What’s the story behind B12 and Alfred Libby?

By Scott Conard, MD

Alfred Libby, a pioneer in nutrients and health, patented the technology that still powers TriVita’s Slow Dissolve B-12 supplements. His original formula lets the dissolving action of B12 get into the bloodstream without an injection, or swallowing a pill.

Alfred Libby was an associate of Linus Pauling, Ph.D., the 2-time Nobel Laureate and “Father of Vitamin C.” Early in his career, Libby discovered the dramatic health changes that B12 could make, and worked for decades to raise awareness.

“We’ve given people back their lives”

Along with B12, Libby was the “star” of TV infomer cials beginning in 2000. Here, I’ve selected some of his memorable thoughts: “We’ve given people back their lives,” Libby said. At the time, painful and expensive injections were the only way to supplement effectively with B12. And, undiagnosed B12 deficiency caused untold damage.

Scott Conard, MD, DABFM, FAAFP, has more than 20 years of successful clinical practice, research and leadership experience. Through his Texas-based practice and books he’s authored, he empowers people to take control of their health.

“B12 deficiency, undiagnosed and untreated, wreaks havoc,” he declared. This “havoc” took many forms:

• Moodiness

• Low energy

• Lack of focus

He would talk about patients who, with Slow Dissolve B-12, went from moodiness and lethargy to enthu siasm and energy… older people, sent to nursing homes because they were disruptive and difficult, becoming “functional human beings again.”

A key element in Alfred Libby’s Slow Dissolve B-12 is its unique delivery system: where the tablets dissolve and get quickly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Dramatic effects, and a change of career

In my own medical practice, I found the same kinds of patient results that Libby witnessed years before. For years, my medical practice specialized in treating the elderly. Patients would come into my office complaining that they had no energy and felt “low” and they would beg for B12 “shots.” After their shots they became so much more alive, so much more well, that I changed course in my career.

I switched my focus to preventive medicine, convinced that the way to make a difference in people’s lives was to help them get the vitamins and nutrients they need before health issues arise.

My own experience has shown me the truth of Libby’s statement: “It’s so fulfilling, so gratifying to be involved with this (Alfred Libby’s Slow Dissolve B-12)… and with the right company, TriVita.”

On his original infomercial, Alfred Libby would gesture toward the phone banks and say, “When I see the phones light up it reminds me of the song ‘You Light Up My Life.’ That’s how I feel when I see those lights; people’s lives are lighting up.”

Alfred Libby’s Slow Dissolve B-12

For mental clarity, focus and energy

Optimal levels of Vitamin B12 support:1

• Improved mood

• Brain health and promotes healthy neurons

• Energy

• Normal function of nerve cells

Optimal levels of Vitamin B6 support:2

• 100 critical processes that help maintain good health

• Brain health with cognitive development

• Cardiovascular and immune health

Optimal levels of Vitamin B9 (folate) support:3,4

Alfred Libby’s Slow Dissolve B-12 Tablets were formulated with his patented technology that enhances the absorption of these critical nutrients by slowly dissolving under the tongue. It is crucial to their effectiveness that you do not chew or swallow the pill whole.

Omega3 Prime™

Premium fish oil concentrate for heart, brain and joint support

Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are among the most important brain and heart health nutrients. When we’re young, omega-3s help brain development;1 in later years they protect against cognitive decline;2 and throughout our lives they optimize brain cells for healthy function.3-5

In addition, according to the American Heart Association and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), omega-3s may help support healthy blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart problems.6, 7

Several studies also demonstrate the anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fatty acids. Research suggests that omega-3s may help relieve joint discomfort and reduce symptoms associated with inflammation.8

The problem? Most of us don’t get enough EPA or DHA.9

Omega3 Prime contains premium golden fish oil concentrate that is carefully formulated to be:

Potent: 1,000 mg serving is concentrated in omega-3s: 670 mg EPA and 125 mg DHA

Convenient: Just two small, easy-to-swallow soft gels make omega-3s a breeze to take

Quality, every step of the way:

• Highly refined and pharmaceutically distilled to provide the most pure form of omega-3s

Pleasant: Natural lemon-flavored soft gels—no fishy odor or aftertaste

Sustainable: Ingredients sourced from Friend of the Sea suppliers – dedicated to conserve marine habitats and resources

• High quality control standards that help ensure potency, limit fish oil oxidation, neutralizing fishy odor and aftertaste

CoEnzyme Q-10

Antioxidant support for cardiovascular wellness and maintenance of good health

CoEnzyme Q-10 is an important “bioenergetic antioxidant” that’s concentrated in the heart. The natural aging process may deplete CoQ-10, potentially leading to low CoQ-10 status. Statin drugs may also deplete CoQ-10. This “CoQ-10 drain” may affect your heart: Low CoQ-10 has been linked to diminished cardiac energy and cardiovascular health concerns.1-4

TriVita CoQ-10 may address these heart health concerns because it helps to replenish what statin drugs and aging may have taken away.5 By correcting your CoQ-10 status, you may promote this unique nutrient’s diverse range of cardio-supportive biological activities:

• CoQ-10 is necessary in adequate amounts for heart energy metabolism6

• CoQ-10 is a cardiovascular antioxidant that helps protect the heart and blood vessels7

• CoQ-10 supports the function of the blood vessel linings, potentially helping with circulation8

• CoQ-10 may help maintain heartbeat stability and the heart’s blood-pumping efficiency9

• CoQ-10 may help to maintain blood pressure that’s already within normal range10

Supplying 50 mg of quality CoQ-10 in each easy-to-swallow soft gel, TriVita CoQ-10 is a convenient way to help contribute to the CoQ-10 status that’s associated with healthy cardiovascular function.

Advanced vision formula to help you see life more clearly

VisionGuard is packed with eye-supportive antioxidants that help to:

• Maintain eyesight in conditions (associated with sunlight damage), such as cataract and age-related macular degeneration

• Reduce the risk of developing cataracts

• Improve macular pigment optical density

It all starts with FloraGLO® lutein and zeaxanthin: botanical antioxidants that support vision health,1,2 but decline in our eyes with age.3 These two key antioxidants:

• Migrate naturally to the eyes, settling in the lens, macula and “high-definition” fovea4

• Act as internal sunglasses, filtering and absorbing the sun’s macula-damaging UV rays5,6

• Replenish macular pigment, a protective retinal layer tied to crystal-clear vision7,8

PLUS:

Antioxidants alpha lipoic acid (ALA), N-Acetyl-LCysteine, Vitamin C, natural Vitamin E and zinc.

Why does VisionGuard use FloraGLO® lutein?9

The most clinically researched lutein brand in the world, FloraGLO® promotes vision health by helping defend from free radicals, potentially reduce the effects of eye aging, absorbing harmful UV rays, increasing the retina’s protective macular pigment and reducing sensitivity to glare and blindingly bright light.

ELDERBERRY, ZINC & VITAMIN C

3

1 Supplement for Enhancing Immune Response

With cold and flu season in full swing, your immune system needs all the help it can get to fight harmful microorganisms and keep your body healthy. Your immune system is responsible for defending the body from viruses, bacteria and other foreign invaders. If your immune system is weakened, you become more susceptible to infectious agents. That’s why we’ve formulated a product that incorporates Elderberry, Zinc AND Vitamin C, three crucial ingredients that create one powerful team to defend your health and well-being.

Elderberry, Zinc and Vitamin C have all been shown to boost the immune system’s ability to respond to threats. Each of these key players contribute to immune health in very specific ways, that when combined, create a formidable defense against symptoms of illnesses.1-4

Here’s what each ingredient contributes:

• Elderberries contain antioxidants that strengthen the immune system’s response to viruses, bacteria and other foreign invaders. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties have been used to fight cold and flu symptoms.1

• Zinc is a trace mineral that has been called the “gatekeeper of immune function” as virtually all immune cells are dependent on it. The properties of zinc help regulate the immune system so that it responds appropriately.2

• Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that has been shown to prevent and treat respiratory and systemic infections by enhancing immune cell function, such as in white blood cells. The antioxidant properties of Vitamin C protect essential molecules in our body from damage. Vitamin C also increases antibody levels, which neutralize pathogens.3

Taking Elderberry, Zinc and Vitamin C through a dietary supplement ensures that you are getting the nutrients you need on a daily basis. These nutrients are essential for immune function and your overall wellness. Supplementation is especially important as the standard Western diet does not contain all the nutrients our bodies require.4

Older individuals are especially susceptible to infections due to immunosenescence and decreased immune cell function.3 Among this demographic, a deficiency in an essential nutrient like vitamin C is strongly predictive of all-cause mortality.3 However, older people have been observed to fare significantly better while in the hospital if they are taking supplements than if they do not.3 Because these nutrients are not created or stored naturally in the body, it is essential to supplement or implement them into your daily diet in order to reduce chances of infection.

takes for a wound to heal, reinforcing your body’s ability to defend against viruses, bacteria and other foreign invaders from the skin level.3 Vitamin C has a myriad of benefits for immune function upon daily intake.

Zinc is essential for proper immune cell function, making sure that they attack the bad molecules in our body instead of the good ones.2 Zinc deficiency, an issue that affects nearly 30 percent of the elderly population, has been associated with imbalanced immune reactions causing chronic inflammation, allergies and autoimmune diseases.2 Supplementing Zinc can help basic messengers of the immune system, like cytokine molecules, efficiently attack the source of the problem instead of the body itself.2

Vitamin C supplementation has been observed to alleviate the severity, duration and frequency of the common cold.3 Older individuals supplementing vitamin C while suffering from pneumonia reported less severe respiratory symptoms and experienced shorter stays at the hospital.3 It can even shorten the time it

Elderberry offers antioxidant properties that support the immune response to upper respiratory symptoms associated with common colds and the flu.1 This trifecta of ingredients creates a supportive team for immune response.

WHAT DO THESE INGREDIENTS DO FOR IMMUNE HEALTH?

• Elderberry contains potent antioxidants such as anthocyanins that are responsible for its purple hue.1 Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have been used to fight cold and flu symptoms and reduce upper respiratory symptoms due to viral infections.1,4

• Zinc has been cited as the “gatekeeper of immune function.”2 Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help regulate the immune system.2 Zinc is so important that deficiency can lead to increased susceptibility to infections.5

• Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that is vital to the function of white blood cells. In fact, vitamin C has been shown to prevent and treat respiratory and systemic infections.3
