What is a Healthy Immune Response?
To understand what an immune system is supposed to do, it's important to understand what a healthy immune response looks like. A healthy immune response is a fast acting, controlled response that doesn't overreact, and provides the body with the protection it needs. For this to happen, the immune system requires specific resources that help it operate at its best.
12 Proven Immune Boosting Ingredients
The immune response often benefits from nutrients that can be found in everyday foods like fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, meat, and grains. This is why it is so important to have a balanced diet! We've studied these nutrients extensively, as have so have many other people, and have highlighted our favorite ingredients, which are:
Essential Immune Boosting Minerals:
We know the immune response requires very specific resources and it has been shown that these minerals are very important to health and immune function:
Selenium: There are large areas in China that have selenium deficiency in the soils. It was shown that the immune system in hosts that are selenium deficient may not be as effective as those who aren't.
Vitamin D: Another example was found in Thailand, where a group of severely ill population was analyzed and the majority were deficient in Vitamin-D.
Zinc: Over 300 different enzymes in the body require Zinc to function normally. Zinc is a key player in supporting the Immune system's normal function.
Manganese - As crucial to our health as iron or potassium, this lesser-known mineral has been shown to enhance natural killer cell and macrophage activity. In addition to helping keep bones and joints strong - it can support healthy, clear skin.
Chromium - Popular for its ability to help maintain a healthy response to sugar spikes, recent research has shown that chromium can enhance the ability of white blood cells.
Quick Immune Response
Anything that can help improve the immune system’s response and recognition rate can play a huge part in improving the immune response:
Transfer Factor, sometimes called the Sialysable Leukocyte Extract (DLE), is an ancient part of the immune system and has been used in many cases to boost the immune system. In fact, it is considered so effective that it is often the first thing added to an immune boosting regimen. Transfer Factor works in a way that is similar to a mother passing her immune system's intelligence to her child, transferring antigen-specific cel-mediated immunity (CMI) to T Lymphocytes. It helps immune cells identify problems more quickly and speeds the immune system’s response
The Right Reaction to Prevent an Overreaction
An immune response that can cause problems for the host is when the immune system overreacts. For this reason, it is important to seek out immune-modulating ingredients that help regulate the immune system and make it more efficient and responsive, but not overactive.
Beta-glucans, such as those found in Baker’s Yeast and Reishi Mushroom are a perfect example of this. In studies, beta-glucans have been shown to be an extremely important part of the immune process that ensures the immune system is in control and isn't influenced by outside factors to overproduce cytokins causing a cytokin storm.
Manganese also enables the release of a group of signaling proteins that help disrupt foreign cells' ability to replicate. It is also a powerful antioxidant.
Selenium is also particularly effective in ensuring the immune system doesn’t overreact.
Cordyceps Sinensis Mycelia has an impressive ability to improve Natural Killer Cell Activity, even in patients with altered immune function. It is also widely known for its usefulness in improving oxygenation in times of stress.
Antioxidants, Anti-inflammatories that Help Protect the Body:
It is important to make sure your body has an ample supply of antioxidants to help protect healthy tissue, especially in the respiratory tract.
Selenium encourages production of one of our body’s own natural antioxidant defense, glutathione.
Curcumin also encourages glutathione and is a potent antioxidant.
Rhodiola Rosea is an adaptogen with anti-inflammatory properties.
Olive leaf extract is another antioxidant with anti-viral properties that helps dull or block any attack, giving the body time to mount an effective defense.
