Immunity support

The Immunity Package helps to maintain a healthy immune system. Vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin D contribute to a strong immune system. This package is therefore ideal for times when your immune system could use a bit of a boost.

Vitamin C also boosts immunity during physical exercise. This is a great way to keep your immune system strong during and after exercising. It also helps to boost immunity in cold weather.

The importance of a strong immune system

Your immune system protects you from pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and moulds. A strong immune system helps you stay healthy. Our Immunity Package supports and strengthens the immune system.

When it’s even more important to have a strong immune system

Your immune system could definitely use a boost when you’re under a lot of stress, when you’re not sleeping well, or when you’re not eating a balanced diet. If getting sick just isn’t an option (like during key competition periods), it’s even more important to maintain a strong immune system.

How to use the Immunity Package

The Immunity Package contains three products with 90 capsules each. Vitamin C1000 Gold, Vitamin D3 3000 IU Gold and Zinc Gold. We recommend taking one capsule of each product daily. Take the capsules with plenty of water, preferably during a meal. By taking the products around the same time every day you are less likely to forget a dose. Each package contains 90 capsules for a three-month supply.

What is vitamin C?

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is by far the most well-known vitamin, and for good reason. Vitamin C is an essential vitamin for your immune system. But vitamin C also plays an important role in numerous other functions:

  • Improves iron absorption
  • Acts as antioxidant (neutralizes free radicals)
  • Protects against external elements such as pollution and sunlight
  • Helps build collagen in the skin, bones, and joints
  • Plays a role in energy metabolism and helps reduce tiredness

Vitamin C is mainly found in vegetables and fruit. Usually, a varied diet supplies daily vitamin C needs, but avid athletes can put more stress and strain on their bodies. Athletes who put their body to the test day in day out can opt to take a vitamin C supplement.

Vitamins C supplement for athletes

Vitamin C is particularly interesting for athletes because it helps boost immunity during and after physical exertion¹. That’s why many athletes take a vitamin C supplement during intensive training and competition periods. Vitamin C also boosts immunity in cold environments¹. This makes vitamin C the ideal supplement to take during the autumn and winter months and in cold countries.

Vitamin C supplements are particularly interesting:

  • During periods of intensive training or competitions
  • During international travel
  • In cold environments, for instance during the autumn and winter months
  • When training or competing at high altitudes
  • If you have an iron deficiency
  • For the production of cartilage in the joints
  • When there is exposure to harmful substances, such as smog, smoke, and UV radiation

Vitamin C and iron absorption

Vitamin C helps absorb plant-based iron. It is crucial that athletes get enough iron as it plays an important role in the production of red blood cells and, therefore, in oxygen transport in your body. Your body absorbs iron from animal products more easily than iron from plant-based sources. Intense training can also have a negative effect on the absorption of iron from food. As an athlete, if you eat no or hardly any meat it is more difficult to absorb enough iron. A vitamin C supplement can help increase the absorption of plant-based iron.

Vitamin C supplement during high altitude training

High altitude training is a known phenomenon in the sporting world. At high altitude, both the air pressure and the oxygen percentage in the air are lower. The body adjusts to this by producing more red blood cells. Sufficient iron is needed for this. As vitamin C contributes to the absorption of iron, a vitamin C supplement is recommended during high altitude training.

Recommended use

¹The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg in addition to the recommended daily intake of vitamin C.

It is vital that athletes consume enough vitamin D. Vitamin D actually helps you stay strong and fit. This is because vitamin D plays a significant role in retaining strong muscles and bones. Vitamin D also supports your immune system, which is extremely important for athletes. You want your immune system to function perfectly, certainly during intensive training or competition periods.

High dose vitamin D

D3-3000 IU Gold provides an extra high dose. Per capsule this supplement contains 75mcg (3000 IU) of vitamin D3. This high dose is ideal for athletes with increased vitamin D requirements. Vitamin D supplements are an ideal way to consume more vitamin D. This is particularly interesting in the darker autumn and winter months, as your body produces less vitamin D in these periods. Vitamin D is actually produced in your skin when exposed to the sun. This is usually enough in the spring and summer, but in autumn and winter it often isn’t.

When to choose a high dose vitamin D?

It can sometimes be difficult to decide whether it’s better to take a low or high dose vitamin D. In many cases a daily intake of 600 IU vitamin D will be enough to maintain good levels. That’s why Virtuoos also has D3-600 IU Gold in its range. However, athletes often go for a high dose vitamin D supplement. The reason for this is that many athletes notice that they need more vitamin D. Vitamin D levels are determined via a blood test, in which vitamin D levels in the blood of between 75 – 120 nmol/l are generally considered as being optimal. If vitamin D levels in the blood are lower, a vitamin D supplement can be used.

High dose vitamin D is interesting for:

  • People with low vitamin D levels (determined via a blood test)
  • Athletes with an increased requirement
  • When there is insufficient exposure to sunlight, for example athletes who train indoors. If you are not outside daily for 30 minutes with your hands and face uncovered.
  • People with a darker skin colour, particularly in the autumn and winter months.

As an athlete, you strive to get the best out of yourself every day. And so you make sure that the trinity of training, rest, and nutrition are as coordinated as possible. Food provides the building blocks and energy required to perform. In addition, your diet provides the vitamins and minerals that you need.

One of these minerals is zinc. What makes this micronutrient special is that it is involved in so many different processes. Of course, whether you engage in a lot of physical exercise or not, it is important for everyone to consume enough zinc.

However, due to a number of zinc’s properties, considerable attention is paid to a good intake of zinc in all areas of sport. Zinc plays a part in the build-up and breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It contributes to the process of cell renewal and is also an antioxidant.Strength athletes are often interested in zinc as it helps the body to build protein and contributes to maintaining normal testosterone levels in the blood. Endurance athletes appreciate the fact that zinc supports the body’s defence system and contributes to normal carbohydrate and acid-base metabolism. Athletes involved in competitive, endurance, and strength sports, as well as people who play mind sports, benefit from zinc’s ability to improve concentration.
