FAQ
Why does a high training load leave you susceptible to illness?
Highly active individuals are vulnerable to illness due to the increased physiological stress on the body and the depletion of resources and energy needed for muscle repair. Supplementing with VITAMIN C + ZINC ensures exercise does not deplete the nutrients required to maintain a healthy immune system.
How does zinc actually work?
Zinc travels to key cells that fight infection and help control inflammation when a virus or bacteria invades the body. Zinc deficiency can reduce the production and efficiency of immune cells, increasing the risk of inflammation and infection. Adequate zinc levels keep the immune system functioning optimally, even when fatigued from training, helping to avoid sickness and lost training time.
What are the impacts of vitamin C deficiency?
Vitamin C deficiency leads to impaired immunity and higher vulnerability to infection. Humans cannot produce vitamin C naturally, so it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Additionally, being water-soluble, vitamin C is poorly retained in the body, requiring regular intake.
When is the best time to take VITAMIN C + ZINC for performance outcomes?
For best results, take VITAMIN C + ZINC at the first sign of illness to reduce the length and severity of colds or related ailments. Many professional athletes also use it as a precaution during periods of high training load, such as pre-season, to protect against compromised immunity.
How should VITAMIN C + ZINC be taken?
Both zinc and vitamin C are water-soluble nutrients, so they can be taken on an empty stomach. It’s best to avoid taking them with meals or drinks containing dairy for optimal absorption.
How is VITAMIN C + ZINC different to PILLAR ULTRA IMMUNE C?
ULTRA IMMUNE C has the added benefit of Vitamin D3 and comes in a tropical-flavored powder, while Vitamin C + Zinc provides a simple tablet form. Both deliver 1000 mg of Vitamin C and 15 mg of zinc for immune support.
