Your immune system is a co-ordinated system of cells, proteins, and chemical signals that are designed to fend off bacteria, viruses, and parasites. It help co-ordinate the wound healing process, cellular/tissue turnover, repair, and (re)building. For optimal immune function, it is important to support all three aspects of our immunity: surface immunity, innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Surface immunity is the first line of defense against pathogens. It is comprised of the barriers that actively keep pathogens out, such as skin, respiratory tract and gastrointestinal system. If a pathogen is able to cross a surface barrier, then the innate immune system defenses are stimulated. Innate immunity includes a host of reactions, including the destruction of pathogens through a process called phagocytosis. Adaptive immunity is called into action if the innate immune system is overwhelmed. Also known as acquired immunity, this response is highly specific to the pathogen that induces it. To help your whole immune system function better, there is a unique product on the market that combines ancient wisdom with modern science, containing four potent immune boosting ingredients, which help immune cells to work faster and better…. even under stress. It is a powerful immune supplement on the market, specifically created for year round comprehensive support.
