As spring brings wider day-to-night temperature swings, more people report weakened immunity and accumulated fatigue. With outdoor activity increasing, attention is also growing on “precision targeted nutrition” tailored to an individual’s physical condition.
German premium vitamin brand Orthomol is positioning its products around molecular orthomolecular medicine, emphasizing not just replacing missing nutrients but supplying them at concentrations designed to match what the body needs.
According to Dong-A Pharmaceutical on the 29th, Orthomol Immun contains B vitamins at levels of up to 1,533% to support nutrients needed for energy metabolism during periods of heavy physical exertion. The company said it considered that while excess water-soluble B vitamins are excreted, higher activity periods may require maintaining a certain blood concentration.
The formula is not built as a blanket high-dose mix of all nutrients, the company said. Instead, it is designed around levels considered appropriate for each nutrient’s function, combining vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium and zinc to address both energy metabolism and immune function.
Fatigue after spring outdoor activity can be linked not only to muscle strain but also to reduced immune function from rapid energy use. As participation rises in outdoor sports such as golf, marathons and tennis, interest is also increasing in stamina management and recovery, the company said.
A Dong-A Pharmaceutical official said nutrient amounts are calculated based on recommended intake levels, but “in reality, additional needs can arise when immunity drops or the body’s balance changes.” The official added that precise nutrition management tailored to physical condition is important beyond simple supplementation.
