The synergistic action of nutrients refers to the interaction between two or more nutrients that amplifies their beneficial effects. Specifically, synergy means that the combined effect of two nutrients is significantly greater than the sum of their individual effects (additive action).
Maximizing the Power of Synergy in FORTIUS Products
FORTIUS D3+B12 – Powerful Synergy of D3 + B12
There is strong evidence supporting the synergistic action of vitamin D3 and B12, both in terms of their bioavailability and the speed of restoring normal levels in cases of deficiency or insufficiency. More importantly, their synergy extends to biochemical mechanisms within the body. Numerous studies highlight their additive or even synergistic effects. In 2022, for the first time, a study published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal demonstrated the anti-cancer potential of D3 and B12 combination across different cancer cell lines.
FORTIUS MAG+Resveratrol – Magnesium & Resveratrol Synergy
The combination of magnesium and selected polyphenols, such as resveratrol, is proven to help prevent vascular calcification. Vascular calcification refers to the formation of calcium phosphate deposits inside the arteries, which can restrict blood flow and contribute to cardiovascular diseases, including increased morbidity and mortality. Study findings confirm that the combination of magnesium with selected polyphenols PP (Q, C and Resveratrol) is more effective than using these compounds separately. Additionally, results suggest that this combination exerts a synergistic effect in inhibiting vascular calcification (VC), a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
FORTIUS PRO – Synergy of Vitamin C & Zinc
Vitamin C and zinc play a critical and synergistic role in immune function, enhancing the host’s resistance to pathogenic agents and reducing the risk, severity, and duration of infectious diseases.
A deficiency in either of these essential nutrients weakens the immune response as Vitamin C is vital for cellular immunity, while zinc plays a key role in antibody production. Numerous randomized controlled intervention studies have shown that zinc and high-dose vitamin C supplementation significantly improves symptoms and shortens the duration of respiratory infections, including common cold. Additionally, to the aforementioned synergistic action, the probiotic Bacillus coagulans enhances this synergy by further strengthening the immune system.
FORTIUS PRO F.A.S.T. – Zinc & Probiotic Synergy
Zinc and probiotics work synergistically to improve the clinical symptoms of antibiotic-associated diarrhea (Oxford Academic, 2018). This combination has been shown to be significantly more effective than probiotic supplementation alone, in alleviating AAD symptoms (Antibiotic Associated Diarrhea).
