Immunity

How does immunity work?

The immune system consists of a complex of cells, tissues and processes that work together to maintain the balance of the organism. Its proper functioning is influenced by many factors, including nutrition, physical activity and regeneration.

Some micronutrients play an important role in the normal functioning of the immune system. These include, for example:

• vitamin C, which contributes to the proper function of the immune system,

• zinc, which contributes to the proper function of the immune system and the protection of cells against oxidative stress,

• vitamin B6, which contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

This is why vitamins and minerals are often found in products designed to support immunity and are part of a balanced approach to nutrition.

Why can I have weakened immunity?

The functioning of the immune system is influenced by many everyday factors. The organism may be more burdened, for example, during a demanding work period, intensive training or insufficient regeneration.

Factors that may affect the overall balance of the organism include:

• long-term stress,

• lack of sleep,

• one-sided diet,

• high physical strain,

• insufficient intake of certain vitamins and minerals.

Athletes and active people should therefore focus on a regular intake of quality nutrients. Properly set sports nutrition includes not only products for performance and regeneration, but also supplements aimed at replenishing micronutrients.

What is best for supporting immunity and how can it be supported?

The foundation of immunity care is a varied diet, regular exercise, quality sleep and sufficient regeneration. Food supplements can serve as a practical way to complement the diet with selected substances.

In the immunity support category, you can find, for example:

Premium Lactoferrin

Premium Lactoferrin contains lactoferrin, zinc, selenium and vitamin B6. Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring protein found, for example, in breast milk. The product is intended for adults who want to include a combination of these substances in their daily routine.

L-Lysine Extra

L-Lysine Extra contains the essential amino acid L-lysine, echinacea extract and vitamin B6. L-lysine belongs to the amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own and obtains from food or food supplements.

ImunoFit KIDS

ImunoFit KIDS is intended for children from 3 years of age and contains a combination of lactoferrin, L-lysine and vitamin B6. It is specially designed with regard to the needs of the child’s body and represents a practical way to supplement selected substances in a child’s diet.

When choosing a product, it is important to consider age, lifestyle and individual needs. A different product may be suitable for an adult athlete and another one for a child.

How to use supplements to support immunity?

Every food supplement should be used according to the manufacturer’s recommendation stated on the product packaging.

With products supporting immunity, consistency is especially important. Food supplements are not a replacement for a varied diet, but rather its supplementation.

When combining several products, it is advisable to monitor their composition. If you take several supplements at the same time, check especially the content of the same vitamins and minerals in individual products.

Products supporting immunity can also be included together with other sports nutrition supplements, for example proteins, creatine or vitamins.

When can I expect an effect?

With food supplements, consistency and a long-term approach are important. The time after which a person notices a change when using a supplement is individual and depends on several factors.

Vitamins, minerals and other ingredients of food supplements are intended to complement the daily intake of nutrients. Their importance is mainly within an overall lifestyle that includes a quality diet, sufficient physical activity and regeneration.

Properly chosen immune support can be a practical part of everyday body care – whether it concerns active athletes, adults or children.
