How does it work?
Our immune system is an incredibly complex network that works silently and tirelessly every day. The immune system's purpose is to defend the body from foreign invaders (viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites), which can enter through inhaled air, ingested food, sexual intercourse, wounds, and so on.
In addition to pathogens (microorganisms that can potentially cause disease), the immune system also fights cells in the body that are abnormal, such as cancerous, damaged, or infected by viruses.
In light of what has just been said, it is easy to understand how important it is to take care of it and keep it in ideal conditions to ensure it is always efficient.
With IMMUNE BOOSTER we guarantee intelligent nutrition for the immune system *.
IMMUNE BOOSTER is rich in vitamins and minerals that contribute to the normal function of the immune system. These include vitamin C, vitamin D, selenium, and zinc .
Contains EpiCor® , a scientifically proven ingredient based on dried yeast.
Oxidative stress (e.g. caused by poor diet, a sedentary and stressful lifestyle, or pollution) can affect the natural immune response.
A balanced diet is an essential factor for keep our immune defenses strong and fight the effects of oxidative damage.
Foods like fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants that directly impact our immune system.
75% of the world's population does not consume enough fruits and vegetables, supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals can be a valuable aid in supporting immune health.
What is the microbiome?
The human body is covered with millions of microbial cells, which form the microbiome.
Every part of our body is covered in bacteria that have adapted to it; each of us has a unique microbiome, determined by our genetic makeup, diet, and lifestyle.
Microbiome and immune well-being
The microbiome has the ability to activate and balance immune responses to diet; the proper functioning of the immune system relies on billions of intestinal bacteria.
Changes in diet, exercise, and body composition can impact the microbiome, just as digestive function can also depend on the microbiome: an imbalance, in fact, can produce common symptoms such as gas, bloating, or constipation.
Prebiotics, probiotics, a balanced diet, and a healthy, active lifestyle help maintain a healthy microbiome.
Intestinal well-being to support the immune system
Microorganisms in the intestine produce vitamins, including B12 and folate. These contribute to normal function of the immune system, and support the breakdown of nutrients into smaller building blocks such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).
SCFAs can stimulate the activity of specific types of immune cells responsible for preventing inflammatory reactions.
They also support the integrity of the intestinal barrier. A dysfunction of the intestinal barrier can cause widespread inflammation and contribute to the onset of chronic immune disorders such as food allergies, intestinal diseases, and celiac disease.
