There’s plenty to love about winter: Crisp sunny winter days, snuggling down in a warm blanket or a cosy jumper or warming up with hearty soups and stews.
But anyone who has ever tried to ward off the rotating bugs of daycare or dodge the office colds throughout the colder months knows that it’s a good time to take stock of the all-important immune system.
When life is busy, it’s easy for that immune system to take a bit of a hit. Plus, as it gets colder, it’s tempting to forgo the gym for a warm evening inside or skip the effort of full meal preparation after a long day with work and kids.
Why is immune health important?
Your immune system is a complex network of organs, cells and processes that help fight off the microbes that cause illness. That’s why, when life gets extra stressful, you can get extra tired. When you’re battling through the winter months, it’s can be a good idea to add a little extra support.
Vitamin C is the gold standard of immune health support, but vitamins and herbal extracts like garlic, Vitamin D, Zinc and olive leaf extract can also provide support too.
It’s important to get these through a well-rounded diet, but easy one-a-day supplements like Nutra-Life’s Liposomal-C + Vit D + Zinc can also be useful for supporting your immune system. It’s formulated with high strength Liposomal Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Zinc for extra support. If a cold has already set in, perhaps try the new High Strength Vira-Immune Support capsules which supports clear airways and helps soothe your nose and throat.
What about nutrition?
Maintaining good nutrition is the building blocks of a healthy immune system. Brightly coloured fruit and vegetables on the plate are a direct source of Vitamin C and antioxidants – known to help support your immune system.
Important nutrients are also found in legumes (like beans, chickpeas and peas), nuts and seeds and lean sources of protein like fish and chicken.
Nutra-Life’s supplements are designed to support a well-rounded diet, exercise and sleep lifestyle – for those times when your natural immune system health needs a little more support.
How does it work?

Nutra-Life’s Liposomal-C + Vit D + Zinc is a high strength triple action immune support formula that uses ‘Superior Absorption Technology* – taking that immune-supporting Vitamin C to the parts of the body where it really matters. The formulation uses liposomes to deliver Vitamin C to the body. The microscopic spheres encase, protect, and enable the Vitamin C to support the body’s absorption of the Vitamin C into the bloodstream.
For those that know the frustration of a bout of the sniffles, Nutra-Life High Strength Vira-Immune Support supports clear airways and soothing of the nose and throat, thanks to high potency Olive leaf and PELAFORCE™ Pelargonium sidoides root dry extract. It has added Vitamin D, Zinc for immune health support, and Vitamin B5 and B12 for energy levels support when feeling run down.
What about taste?
We get it. Life is too busy to add a whole new routine of supplements to your day, or to spend time on anything that’s hard to swallow or leaves a nasty taste in your mouth.
Nutra-Life’s Liposomal-C + Vit D + Zinc is the first Liposomal supplement to come in a tablet form. It’s also available in a great tasting natural orange powder, just mix with water or you can even add to your smoothie. Plus High Strength Vira-Immune Support is also in a capsule, so no need to worry there either.
So feel confident knowing Nutra-Life has your immune system support covered this winter so you can feel fit for life.
