Learn how TriVita’s Vital Four Immunity Plan provides precise nutrients for your body to defend, recover and thrive this Virus Season.
Every year, Virus Season presents new challenges. Crowded indoor gatherings, fluctuating weather and added stress all put pressure on your body’s defenses. The CDC recently forecasted that the 2025–2026 season will bring two distinct peaks of COVID activity, with the majority of hospitalizations and complications expected among older adults.
For many, that news can stir worry. But worry doesn’t build immune resilience—being prepared does. When you know your body is supported with the proper nutrients and lifestyle choices, you move through Virus Season with peace of mind instead of fear.

The Vital Four Immunity Plan Advantage
TriVita’s new Vital Four Immunity Plan for this Virus Season isn’t about throwing random supplements at your body. It’s a targeted strategy built on four essentials that support your immune system in unique, complementary ways. Each nutrient addresses a different part of your body’s defense, creating a synergy of immune support not possible from each nutrient alone.
Vitamin D – Activates and Directs Immune Cells
- Turns on T cells so your immune system can recognize and respond to threats.
- Promotes balanced, effective immune activity without triggering overreactions.
- Slows the aging process.
Elderberry – Helps Stop Viruses in Their Tracks
- Naturally supports respiratory health, where many viruses attack first.
- Helps reduce the severity and duration of colds and flu-like illnesses.
- Provides powerful antioxidant protection against daily stressors.
Zinc – Fuels the Frontline Defenders
- Critical for neutrophils and natural killer (NK) cells, your immune system’s first responders.
- Supports tissue repair and faster wound healing.
- Supports healthy respiratory tissue.
NEW Revitalize Formula – Strengthens Your Immune Foundation by Supporting Liver Function
- Combines N-acetylcysteine, milk thistle, turmeric, schizandra, artichoke and dandelion root.
- Supports liver detoxification, clearing toxins that can weaken immunity.
- Boosts glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant, to recharge immune cells.
- Reduces inflammation, so your immune system can focus on real threats.
Lifestyle Still Matters
No nutrient plan can replace healthy living. The Vital Four works even better when paired with simple lifestyle habits:
- Eat whole foods that fuel your immune cells, and limit ultra-processed foods, which inflame the body.
- Stay active daily, as movement improves circulation so immune cells can travel quickly to where they’re needed.
- Prioritize rest, because sleep restores your immune system and strengthens future defenses.
- Manage stress through prayer, personal reflection or time in nature to calm your system.
When lifestyle choices set the foundation and the Vital Four provides reinforcement, your immune system is far better equipped to handle whatever Virus Season brings.
