3. Enhanced Blood Flow: May improve the delivery of immune cells and nutrients.
Allergens: None.
Time/Volume: 25min/250ml
“Resilience”
“Resilience”, in terms of a healthy immune system or host response, refers to the ability of the body to effectively withstand, adapt to, and recover from various stressors, such as infections, environmental challenges, or injuries. A resilient immune system can quickly recognize and respond to pathogens, maintaining homeostasis while minimizing tissue damage.
This concept encompasses several key aspects:
1. Robustness: A resilient immune system possesses strong physical and functional capabilities, allowing it to mount effective defenses against a wide range of pathogens.
2. Adaptability: It can adjust its responses to different threats, learning from past encounters to improve future responses, which is reflected in the development of immunological memory.
3. Recovery: After an immune challenge, a resilient system can return to a state of equilibrium, promoting healing and restoring normal function without long-term impairment.
4. Balance: A healthy immune response maintains a delicate balance between activation and regulation, preventing overreactions that could lead to autoimmune diseases or chronic inflammation.
Additional Key Ingredients (See Other Key Ingredients Above):
• Chromium, Selenium, Manganese
• Vitamin D3
Additional Key Ingredients Overview:
• Chromium:
- Blood Sugar Regulation: Chromium helps improve insulin sensitivity, which can support metabolic health. Proper metabolism is essential for optimal immune function, as high blood sugar levels can weaken the immune response.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: By improving insulin sensitivity, chromium may indirectly help reduce inflammation, potentially benefiting overall immune health.
• Selenium:
- Antioxidant Defense: Selenium is a vital component of antioxidant enzymes, which protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. This is important for maintaining immune cell integrity.
- Thyroid Function: It supports thyroid hormone metabolism, which plays a role in regulating the immune response. A well-functioning thyroid is important for a balanced immune system.
• Manganese:
- Antioxidant Function: Manganese is involved in the production of superoxide dismutase, an important antioxidant enzyme that protects cells from oxidative damage and supports immune health.
- Bone Health: Manganese plays a role in bone formation and health, which can be beneficial for overall immunity, as the bone marrow is where immune cells are produced.
• Vitamin D3:
- Immune Modulation: Vitamin D3 is essential for the function of immune cells, including T cells and macrophages. It helps modulate the immune response, enhancing the body’s ability to fight infections while reducing the risk of autoimmune reactions.
- Resistance to Infections: Adequate levels of Vitamin D3 have been linked to a reduced risk of respiratory infections and other illnesses.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Vitamin D3 can help regulate inflammatory responses, which is crucial for preventing chronic inflammation that can compromise immune function.
Allergens: None.
