How Immunity Works
Immunity is from the Douglas Labs Immune Support product line.
Immunity provides powerful immune-supportive ingredients such as the well-tolerated and absorbed Ester-C, Vitamin D3, zinc, and a special proprietary blend of phytonutrients. This formula, designed by Dr. Julie Chen, is to be taken at the very first sign of wanting increased immune support.
Zinc is known as an essential trace mineral because humans require it in very small amounts. Zinc directly affects immune function and even a mild zinc deficiency suppresses immunity. Natural killer (NK) cell activity, phagocytosis of macrophages and neutrophils are affected by zinc levels. Zinc activates T-cell function and influences TH1 cytokines.
The major role of vitamin C is the protection of the immune cells against free radical damage. Vitamin C concentrations in the plasma and leukocytes rapidly decline during acute illness and stress. Ester-C is a unique form of vitamin C that is created through a patented, water-based process that combines vitamin C and calcium ascorbate. Ester-C is non-acidic and should be well-tolerated by those who are sensitive to the acidic nature of ascorbic acid.
Andrographis is a shrub found throughout India and other Asian countries that is sometimes called "Indianechinacea." It is useful for general immune support and has been shown in research to be immune-supporting to individuals during the winter months.
Astragalus is an important supplement for both eastern and western herbalists. Often used in combination with other herbs, Astragalus has many uses, but is mostly known for its immune-stimulating properties. Numerous studies have indicated that Astragalus can have beneficial effects on the immune system by binding and activating B-cells and macrophages, stimulating lymphocytes and providing antioxidant activity.
Healthy immune function can also be maintained by supporting a well balanced production of cytokines. Studies using black elderberry have indicated that it may have effective immuno-protective abilities, including supporting a balanced production of cytokines.
Honeysuckle has also been reported for its immuno-protective properties. Study results suggest that Spirulina supports the immune response, particularly the primary response, by stimulating macrophage functions, phagocytosis, and IL-1 production.
Garlic contains a wide spectrum of organic sulfur compounds and it supports normal immune function, host defense, and possesses antioxidant properties.
