Pillar Performance Vitamin C + Zinc
Pillar Performance Vitamin C + Zinc is a high-impact immunity formulation delivering 1000 mg of vitamin C and 15 mg of elemental zinc in a single, convenient film-coated tablet. Designed to support immune system health and help reduce the duration and severity of symptoms associated with the common cold, it's a straightforward daily solution for athletes, active individuals, and anyone looking to keep their defences strong year-round.
Whether you're navigating a heavy training block, a demanding schedule, or the challenges that come with seasonal change, Vitamin C + Zinc provides targeted micronutrient support to help maintain immune resilience when it matters most.
Why Vitamin C + Zinc?
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that the body cannot produce on its own. As a water-soluble vitamin, it is poorly retained and requires consistent replenishment through diet or supplementation. It plays a critical role in supporting both the innate and adaptive immune systems, acts as a powerful antioxidant, and contributes to important physiological processes including collagen synthesis and iron absorption.
Zinc gluconate is a highly bioavailable form of zinc, meaning it dissolves readily to release elemental zinc efficiently into the body. Zinc is essential for immune cell development and function — it supports the body's ability to respond when viruses or bacteria invade, helps regulate inflammation, and maintains immune resilience during periods of fatigue, stress, or elevated training load. Zinc deficiency can impair immune cell development, compromise T-cell mediated immune response, and reduce the body's ability to fight infection.
Together, these two nutrients form a clinically supported pairing for daily immune protection.
Who Is It For?
Pillar Performance Vitamin C + Zinc is particularly well suited to highly active individuals. High training loads place significant physiological stress on the body and can deplete the micronutrients needed to keep the immune system functioning optimally — increasing susceptibility to illness, particularly upper respiratory tract infections. Lost training days compromise consistency, and consistency is one of the most important drivers of athletic performance.
It's equally valuable for anyone with a busy lifestyle or those facing increased seasonal illness risk who want a simple, effective daily tablet to support their immunity.
When to Take It
For best results, take one tablet at the very first sign of illness to give your body the best chance of reducing both the length and severity of any cold or related ailment. Many athletes also incorporate Vitamin C + Zinc as a precautionary measure during periods of high training load — such as pre-season — when immunity can be compromised by physical exertion.
Both vitamin C and zinc are water-soluble nutrients and can be taken on an empty stomach. Avoid taking with meals or drinks containing dairy for optimal absorption.
