The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and mechanisms that protects the body against viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. Although it functions continuously, its effectiveness is strongly influenced by external factors such as temperature, stress levels, nutrition, and exposure to natural light.
During the cold season, the immune system is under increased strain. Low temperatures, high humidity, reduced sunlight, and prolonged time spent indoors favor the spread of infections and weaken the body’s natural defense mechanisms.
Main Challenges for the Body During the Cold Season
Respiratory conditions
Winter is associated with a higher incidence of respiratory infections, especially those of viral origin:
-
common cold – a widespread viral infection
-
influenza – a highly contagious viral infection
-
pneumonia – a viral or bacterial lung infection
-
bronchitis – inflammation of the respiratory airways
Rheumatic conditions
Cold temperatures and humidity can intensify joint and muscle discomfort:
-
osteoarthritis
-
arthritis
Neuropsychological disturbances
Reduced exposure to sunlight can disrupt the biological rhythm and mental balance:
-
seasonal affective disorder (SAD)
-
insomnia
-
mental fatigue and reduced energy levels
Dermatological issues
Cold weather and moisture can compromise the skin barrier:
-
dry skin
-
eczema
-
frostbite
-
Raynaud’s phenomenon (pale, numb fingers followed by redness)
Cardiovascular concerns
Low temperatures cause vasoconstriction, which can impact the cardiovascular system:
-
increased blood pressure
-
higher risk of heart attack
-
higher risk of stroke
Accidents caused by slipping
Icy and slippery surfaces increase the risk of injuries:
-
sprains
-
fractures
Why Immune Health Is Built Over Time
A strong immune system does not develop overnight. Taking high doses of vitamins occasionally cannot compensate for the lack of a balanced lifestyle. Immune support is a long-term process based on prevention, consistency, and healthy daily habits.
Prevention – The Foundation of a Strong Immune System
Maintaining optimal immune function during winter requires a multidimensional approach:
-
Proper hygiene – reducing exposure to pathogens
-
Balanced nutrition – adequate intake of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats
-
Cold protection – appropriate clothing and a comfortable indoor temperature
-
Regular physical activity – supports circulation and immune function
-
Proper hydration – fluid intake remains essential even in winter
-
Seasonal nutritional supplementation
Supplements That Support Immunity During Winter
During the cold season, targeted supplementation with essential nutrients can help maintain immune function and overall well-being.
Liposomal Liquid Vitamin C
-
high-dose vitamin C intake (1625 mg per shot)
-
enhanced absorption
-
supports immune defense and antioxidant protection
Vitamin C + D3 + Zinc
-
1000 mg vitamin C
-
2000 IU vitamin D3
-
25 mg zinc
This combination supports immune function, muscle health, and cellular protection.
Liver Support
-
supports healthy liver function
-
helps the body manage increased metabolic stress during winter
Gh + Sleep Powder
-
supports restful and restorative sleep
-
contains amino acids, GABA, vitamin B6, magnesium, and zinc
Quality sleep is essential for immune regeneration and optimal immune response.
Whey Protein
-
provides the recommended daily protein intake (1–2 g/kg body weight)
-
supports muscle mass and overall physiological function
Liquid Joint Guard Shot
-
recommended during winter to support joint health
-
joints are exposed to additional stress due to cold, humidity, and unstable surfaces
