GREENSBORO, N.C. (PRWEB)
September 24, 2020
There’s probably been a point in your life where you wonder if you’re doing your best to keep your immune system in good shape. You’ve probably seen ads for products claiming “this supplement will do wonders for your immune system!” where the only elaboration they include is “this supplement contains x, y and z which is good for your immune health!” leaving it at that, expecting that’s all they need to do to sell you on the product. Well, here at Market America | SHOP.COM, we practice transparency and informing our customers on the science and information behind our products, not to just sell them because we think they are great — we ensure that our customers stay informed, especially when it comes to their health. We want to make sure you understand the facts behind what’s in our products in the greatest detail possible. That’s why we’re not only going to provide four things you should know about the immune system, but we will also break down how various vitamins, nutrients and supplements work to support your immune health and provide you with the hows and whys of each of our recommended products.
Market America’s Director of nutraMetrix® and Clinical Education, Dr. Deedra Mason, breaks down the top facts about your immune health and also provides you with links to products that she thinks you should check out!
1. Did you know that your immune system peaks at around puberty and then gradually declines from this point on as you age? Well, believe it or not, there is a certain type of yeast that may actually be one of the best ways to help support your body’s natural immune response! Wellmune is a natural yeast beta glucan that works to support immune cells, which are part of the body’s natural defenses. When Wellmune is ingested, immune cells in the gastrointestinal tracts take it up and transport it to the immune organs through the body. There are a number of clinical trials that have shown the value of Wellmune as it relates to the immune system in both adults and children. Dr. Mason suggests Isotonix® Immune for adults 18 and older and DNA Miracles Isotonix Immune for children 4 years old or older.*
2. Vitamin D is essential to immune health. Dr. Mason notes that vitamin D is “essential for production of proteins critical in the balance of immune cells” and that it “supports immune/balancing chemical messengers that can influence an immune function.” Furthermore, Dr. Mason says that vitamin D is also important to other aspects of your health such as maintaining normal bone mineral density, supporting elasticity of blood vessels and maintenance of normal blood pressure. Vitamin D is most often appreciated as being obtained through exposure to sunlight, which as Dr. Mason mentions, is why the winter is often referred to as “Vitamin D Winter”. As such, Vitamin D is also important to the immune system. Outside of sunlight exposure, one great way to get enough vitamin D is through a diet rich in vitamin D foods such as mushrooms, egg yolks and fatty fish. Because it is both hard to get enough through foods and because many people avoid vitamin D foods for various reasons, it is prudent to consider supplementation with products such as Isotonix® Vitamin D with K2. Dr. Mason points out that the value of this supplement is that it provides not only vitamin D, but also vitamin K2; they can work together to support calcium absorption as well as support vascular elasticity.*
3. Your gut is an important part of your immune system. Did you know that a large part of your immune system is co-mingled with your intestines? Dr. Mason explains that “together they form a large organ called Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT). Your GALT represents nearly 70% of your body’s total immune system.” This means that in order to support our immune system, we have to keep our intestines healthy. One supplement that directly supports both your gut as well as your immune system is probiotics. Probiotics work to balance your gut through restoring the balance of “good” bacteria in your gut which in turn can improve many aspects of your health. Not only that, Dr. Mason mentions how “some of the most common studied strains provide good bacteria that promote the normal absorption of nutrients which has a meaningful impact on immune function and support of a healthy immune system.” This means that certain strains of probiotics can support select types of immune cells for immune balance. For a probiotic supplement that promotes both a healthy immune system as well as a healthy gut, check out Probiotics-10 as well as Isotonix Digestive Enzymes, which is available in a powder form and is delivered to your body via an isotonic delivery system. The isotonic delivery system actually reduces the time it takes for your body to absorb the nutrients. Another nutrient known for supporting your gut as well as immune health is aloe. It has been shown through studies that aloe products may have the ability to support a strong immune system which can be attributed to its polysaccharides. Ultimate Aloe™ contains a complex polysaccharide called Beta 1,3 glucans that are ideal for supporting a healthy digestive tract and barrier function. As Dr. Mason says, “beta glucans can aid in both digestive and immune function as Ultimate Aloe contains over 200 nutrients including enzymes, vitamins and essential minerals needed for good nutrition as well as a healthy immune system.” Ultimate Aloe™ uses only the purest ingredients – real aloe vera juice & pulp harvested straight from the leaf. So, make sure to check out Ultimate Aloe for additional gut and immune support!*
4. Consumption of alcohol can impact your immune system. You’ve probably heard it before but alcohol consumption is also a significant factor in the immune system’s function. This is because when you drink, your liver has to work to detoxify and remove alcohol from your blood. When consuming too much alcohol, your liver can’t keep up and cannot process the alcohol well, which takes a toll on your body. The liver is also important to the immune system because it neutralizes free radicals created by the environment, both internal and external, that may limit metabolic and immune function. So, if you are putting too much strain on your liver with alcohol, it cannot do its job as well. The good news is that there are ways to support your liver. One way is through supplementing with curcumin. Curcumin Extreme™ works to support normal liver detoxification activity, support overall liver health and promote a strong immune system. Another way is through the use of NutriClean® HepatoCleanse (Liver Support Formula). This formula works to help the liver reach optimal levels of functioning and detoxification through a combination of special botanicals and nutrients that can help support healthy liver function.*
