Build Stronger Defences

Your Body’s First Line of Defence

Your immune system is your body’s first line of defence. Every day, it works to protect you from viruses, bacteria and environmental stress.

But modern lifestyles, intense physical activity and exposure to pathogens can challenge this balance.

That’s where SUKOFLEX® can make a difference.

A natural source of immune-supporting compounds

Rosehip (Rosa canina) is naturally rich in vitamin C, polyphenols, flavonoids and carotenoids, key compounds known to support immune health.

Carotenoids found in rosehip help protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which is closely linked to immune resilience (Horváth et al., 2012).

Why oxidative stress matters for immunity

When your body is exposed to viruses or physical stress, it produces reactive oxygen species (free radicals). In excess, these can weaken immune function and increase susceptibility to illness.

Antioxidants such as vitamin C and plant flavonoids help neutralise these effects and support the body’s natural defence mechanisms during infections (Uchide & Toyoda, 2011).

Flavonoids: nature’s defence molecules

Rosehip contains flavonoids such as quercetin, which have been widely studied for their immune-supporting and antiviral potential.

Research shows that flavonoids can:

  1. Interfere with viral entry into cells (Wu et al., 2015).
  2. Inhibit viral replication and infectivity (Rojas et al., 2016).
  3. Block key viral enzymes involved in the viral life cycle (Jo et al., 2020).
  4. Reduce viral internalisation and spread (Kinker et al., 2014).
