Boost Your Immune System
With the coronavirus threat on top of the usual threat of seasonal colds and flu it makes sense to boost our immune systems to try and prevent infection.
Below are descriptions of an immune system boosting peptide therapy and three dietary supplements that may help.
Please let me know if you want more information on these.
Immune Boosting Peptide
Thymosin alpha 1 - Zadaxin
Thymosin α-1 is a major component of Thymosin Fraction 5 and is responsible for restoring and modulating immune function, particularly cell mediated immune function. Recent studies showed that
Thymosin Alpha-1 molecule increased major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-1 and Toll-like receptor expression as well as cytokine production, suggesting its immunoregulatory role.
It is an FDA approved medication under the trade name Zadaxin after it received orphan drug approval status.
It is widely used and studied in multiple types of cancer and viral illnesses. Some physicians are using thymosin for chronic fatigue and Lyme disease as well as autoimmune function as well.
TA 1 is thought to modulate the immune system by augmenting T-cell function. TA1 may affect thymocytes by stimulating their differentiation or by converting them to active T cells. TA1 is rapidly absorbed, achieving peak serum concentrations within two hours.
Immune Boosting Supplements
IMMUNITONE PLUS™
Immunitone Plus™ is an herbal formula that is designed to support healthy immune system function during cold and flu season.** It contains herbs that support normal natural killer (NK) cell activity and the balance of cytokines, which are the regulatory proteins released by immune cells as part of a normal immune system response.** The standardized herbs in this formula contain optimal and consistent amounts of the most active ingredients. Immunitone Plus™ is suitable for long term use and for all age groups.
VITAMIN D SUPREME
Vitamin D Supreme provides a clinically useful dose of vitamin D3, 5000 IU per veggie cap, and vitamin K in both K1 and the MK-7 form of K2. This formula contains higher therapeutic doses than Vitamin D Synergy for situations where more aggressive repletion is required. Vitamins D and K are essential for optimal bone and arterial health and for maintaining the immune system in proper balance.** The amount of vitamin D and K in this formula may be beneficial for those who do not get adequate sun exposure and/or dietary sources of these vitamins. Vitamins D and K work as a team. Thus, increasing doses of vitamin D will increase the need for vitamin K.
Probiotic Supreme DF™
Probiotic Supreme DF™ is a higher dose, dairy-free alternative to our Probiotic Synergy™, delivering 15 billion organisms per dose in a caplet form – and using the same advanced patented delivery system to ensure delivery of the highest number of live organisms to the intestinal tract. As the probiotics are meant to release over an extended time frame (10-12 hours), effective dosing need only take place once per day. This also ensures delivery throughout the entire intestinal tract. Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take one caplet per day with a meal, or as directed by your health care practitioner.
