Spend the winter without virus and flu!

Oh… we all know that dreadful feeling when we sense something is coming on and we’re on the brink of a cold or flu. We feel completely drained and low on energy…

Our body faces and fights various pathogens every day, engaging in battles we don’t feel because our team members, called immune cells, bravely stand on the front lines of our defense system, combating viruses and bacteria. But what if these battles last too long, if the enemy is numerically stronger and doesn’t back down… and our immune cells have exhausted all their energy? That’s when the “internal struggle” becomes visible and we feel it—our immune system has lowered its shield and can no longer fight as it once did. Our body becomes weak, drained of energy, and we experience physical pain, headaches, lack of concentration, runny nose, and sore throat. This is a warning—our immune system urgently needs help! Real help comes in the form of sufficient energy intake to fight back, allowing the little soldiers, known as immune cells, to recharge and prepare to battle all viruses and bacteria. We must feed them with amino acids.

What are Amino Acids?

Amino acids are organic molecules that build proteins in the human body and provide energy. They are classified into essential (those the body cannot synthesize and must be obtained from food), semi-essential (arginine and histidine), and non-essential (which the body can synthesize itself). A significant difference between amino acids and other nutrients (fats, starch) is that the body cannot store amino acid reserves—therefore, we must incorporate all necessary amino acids into our diet every day.

When Does Our Body’s Need for Amino Acids Increase?

When the body is exposed to constant stress—changes in weather, transitioning to the colder part of the year, stressful work periods, intense training, or weakened immunity. At such times, the body consumes more energy, and the amounts of amino acids we intake are insufficient. During these moments, not only do we lack energy, but the activity of our immune system also declines because the cells run out of their primary energy source.
