Vitamin C

An obvious one but a must-have during the chillier months. Vitamin C protects your body’s cells and contributes to the production of collagen, essential for maintaining the health of tissues and organs.

Viruses, such as the common cold, are more likely to strike during the winter months so zinc’s immune system support can decrease your risk of being struck down with the illness.
