IMMUNE SYSTEM
7 Nutrients In Ka’Chava That Support Your Immune System
There’s no magic bullet for a healthy immune system. The key is a healthy lifestyle, including a consistent dietary intake of vitamin- and mineral-rich foods. Here’s how Ka’Chava can help fill the nutritional gaps.
Research shows that getting the recommended amount (i.e., RDA) of vitamins and minerals can support your body’s immune system at three different levels: First, by maintaining physical barriers like your skin and gut; secondly, by assisting with the development and function of immune cells, and finally by supporting antibody production. The good news is that Ka’Chava is packed with a wide range of these immune-supporting nutrients.

Zinc:
Protects Immune Cells + Supports The Gut
Zinc plays multiple roles in your immune system, chief among them being its role as an antioxidant that protects your immune cells from oxidative damage. What’s more, zinc plays a vital role in helping to maintain the integrity of your gut lining, which is home to around 70% of your immune cells.
Zinc is an essential mineral, meaning you need to get this nutrient through your diet because your body can’t produce it on its own. You’ll predominantly find zinc in animal-based foods and a few plant foods like cashews—but one serving of Ka’Chava packs in 80% of your daily zinc needs.VITAMIN C:
Protects Immune Cells
Vitamin C is well-known for its antioxidant properties which help to protect your immune cells from oxidative damage. When your immune cells aren’t busy fighting off free radicals, they have more energy to do their job; protect you from unwanted invaders. Foods such as pomegranate, blackberries, and spinach contain vitamin C, and one serving of Ka’Chava includes 35% of your daily vitamin C needs.
VITAMIN D:
Aids In The Development And Function Of Immune Cells + Supports The Gut
Vitamin D is an essential player in your immune system, supporting both the development and function of your immune cells. Vitamin D also plays a fundamental role in the maintenance and integrity of your gut (intestinal) lining, which is home to around 70% of your immune cells. Vitamin D is primarily found in animal-based food sources and is famously difficult to get through diet alone. Still, each serving of Ka’Chava contains one quarter of your daily needs.
SELENIUM:
Protects Immune Cells
Selenium plays a vital role in your immune system, acting as an antioxidant that protects your immune cells from oxidative damage and also playing a role in the number of immune cells you have working for you and participating in their proper function. You can get this essential mineral in your diet by consuming nuts and seeds (Brazil nuts are a particularly rich source), but if you have a Ka'Chava shake a day, you're set—it contains 140% of your daily needs.
PROBIOTICS:
Support The Gut
Certain probiotics can help improve gut microbial diversity and maintain the integrity of the gut lining—which is in your best interest since around 70% of the body’s immune cells lie in the gut. Probiotics such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus acidophilus, along with prebiotic fiber, can help improve the ratio of good to harmful bacteria in the gut and increase the production of beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Ka’Chava contains both L. rhamnosus and L. acidophilus, plus chicory root fiber.
VITAMIN A:
Protects Immune Cells + Supports The Gut
Vitamin A is an antioxidant vitamin that supports healthy tissues and helps to protect immune cells from oxidative damage. It also influences the number and functioning of immune cells. Beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, is found in various vegetables, including carrots, kale, and spinach. You can find 80% of your daily needs in just one serving of Ka’Chava.B-COMPLEX VITAMINS:
Aids In The Production Of Immune Cells
Vitamins B12, B6, and folate play an essential role in the production and development of new immune cells. Your immune system is always hard at work, so keeping a steady supply of new cells coming in is vital to maintaining optimal immune defenses. Aside from vitamin B12 (found only in animal-based foods), B vitamins are found readily in a variety of fruits and vegetables. One serving of Ka’Chava contains over 60% of your daily needs for all B vitamins.
