Natural Immune Support
Contributing publisher Natural Products Insider.com
In addition to the obvious discomforts of being sick, the time loss associated with illness is problematic to our fast-paced society. The financial cost can also be a burden on all impacted by a sick person.

In 2011, Walgreen's reported its survey of Americans showed the flu was responsible for 100 million sick days, $68 million dollars in paid leave and 32 million missed school days. Overall, the survey found all related costs (missed days, child care, health care bills, etc.) of respondents at between $251 and $1,000 each in 2010.

Sufficient sleep, well-rounded nutrition and good hygienic practices go a long way in this fight, but most people still need help. Pharmaceuticals can help address symptoms, but a group of dietary supplement ingredients go beyond this reactionary benefit to offer help strengthening the immune system, improving immune function, inhibiting sickness and shortening the duration of illness.

Botanicals such as echinacea, astragalus, elderberry, and garlic extract have all garnered a good deal of attention for improved immune function, but have mixed signals from the scientific research world. Vitamin D is shown to stimulate immune cells to release chemicals that fight infections. It is also credited with controlling immune response, especially inflammation, in respiratory health. However, again there is a lack of scientific evidence and most studies have been done by looking at vitamin D deficiencies.

Between 70 percent and 80 percent of immunity is mediated in the gut. Membranes in the gut are part of the innate immune system and respond to pathogens in a non-specific way.  Gut mucosa, enzymes and micro flora all play key roles in gut-mediated immunity.

Probiotics are beneficial microorganisms that help control the critical balance in the human digestive system, preventing the growth of the undesirable bacteria and pathogens. This balance is essential to maintain overall health. Probiotics, both naturally present in the gut and supplemented in the diet, improve NK cell activity (“natural killers”), antibody production, digestion, liver function and detoxification, GI health, and decrease the risk of various illnesses, carcinogens and infections.

Probiotics have also been clinically proven to help with a broad number of health issues such as: Irritable Bowel Syndrome, allergic conditions, skin & dental health, supporting healthy blood pressure levels, pain relief support, anti-inflammatory agents and cardiovascular health and wellness.
