The Most Dynamic Immune Supplements

The Most Dynamic Immune Supplements

The Immune system is comprised of specialized cells, tissues, lymphatic organs and chemical messengers that work together to help you fight off perceived foreign invaders. Foreign invaders are best described as germs, bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi. The foreign invaders' job is to break into the immune system and take over to survive. The role of the immune system is to seek them out and destroy them before they settle in. 

Your immune system is impressive and can recognize if a particular virus has tried to attack before. It can search through its database of information and produce the necessary antibodies against the virus or invader. If the invader or virus is new to your body, it can take up to fourteen days for your body to seek out the invader and create a new antibody to help get rid of it.

Your immune system is so amazingly complex it can remember and recognize millions of different enemies and produce the secretions, chemical messages and cells required to vend off the attack.  It stockpiles several different cells (lymphocytes, plasma cells, phagocytes, killer cells, T cells, etc.) with different functions. Some are trained to attack, others to eliminate, and others to rebuild

 

Your immune response is influenced by your inherited genes (good or bad); it is also sparked by immunization. Your immune system can weaken due to malnutrition, autoimmune disorders, cancer, medical treatments and medications.

Chronic inflammation can both cause an immune response but weaken your body's ability to fight infection. Therefore, inflammatory conditions put an extra strain on a person's immune response. Blood disorders, bowel disorders, poor digestive health and chronic stress, can also contribute to a weakened immune response.  The health of the immune system also depends on a person's age. As we age, there is a natural reduction in T cells which are responsible for fighting infection.  Did you know that even chronic stress & insomnia cause a strain on your immune system leaving you more vulnerable?

Why Strengthen Your Immune System?

A healthy immune system plays a role in the first line of defence by creating a barrier that stops invaders or antigens from entering the body.   Should a virus or invader slip by a healthy immune system will respond quickly to increase white blood cells and other proteins and chemicals that attack the foreign substance.  It will also work to find the suitable antigen or produce the right antigen before the invader can reproduce.  Supplements are an excellent way to support your immune system, especially when combined with healthy lifestyle choices such as moderate exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep and managing stress
