Our wonderful immune system has the ability to
protect us from nasty germs including bacteria,
viruses, fungi and parasites. Our immune system’s
first line of defense are the wet surface membranes
found in our gut, nasal passages, sinuses and
inner ear. These membranes are protected by an
immunoglobulin (or antibody) called Secretory
IgA, which represents 80% of our total immune
system. If our wet membrane barrier protection
becomes weakened as a result of low secretory IgA,
our defense system will be down and the chance of
getting sick will increase dramatically.
When pathogens (bugs and germs) penetrate our
wet membranes,(the first line of defense) they invade
our blood and lymphatic systems. These pathogens,
whether bacteria, parasite, virus, fungi or even a food
or environmental allergen, initiate a response from
our cellular immune system, made up of an “army”
of white blood cells. When we are invaded, our white
cells rush to the rescue to kill unwanted guests that
cause illness and disease.
We have selected a broad range of products to support your external wet membrane
barrier protection via enhanced secretory IgA
production, and to support and enhance
immune cell production and activation when germs
attack.
Before taking nutritional supplements, you should always seek guidance from your healthcare practitioner. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products selected are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
