Immune System Supplements

by Celine Baranky

Good health is totally dependant on a strong and capable immune system. When treatments are necessary, there will be little if any response without the presence of a strong immune system.

What is your immune system?

The immune system is the protective energy or force that protects the body against the intrusion of alien bodies such as bacteria and viruses. To keep it working at its highest ability it must be in a healthy state which usually requires taking the highest quality nutritional supplements available. It is very important to remember that a strong and powerful immune system is the greatest defense we have against degenerative disease.

The role of free radicals

Free radicals (which are formed within our own bodies) fall into two categories, the good and the bad. The good ones, can be and are at times used by the immune system to destroy viruses and bacteria. It is important at the same time to protect the cells of our bodies while these intruders are being destroyed, by keeping a high level of antioxidants in the body through the addition of high quality nutritional supplements.

Main causes of a

weakened immune system

Two of the main causes of a lowered or depleted immune system are stress and poor nutrition. However a third and lesser known but actual cause is anger, an inner and underlying anger that seethes and lingers sometimes for years. Among others, one possible reason for this anger could be because a very real or perceived injustice.

The function of Nutritional Supplements

Nutritional supplements that include a number of antioxidants are extremely important in the strengthening of a weakened immune system. Some of the key nutrients or antioxidants needed are zinc, Vitamins E and C, and Coenzyme Q10.

Each one has its own particular enhancing property to contribute, but bonded together with others in one nutritional supplement, they become a very powerful force to strengthen and fortify the immune system.

If taken singularly and in high doses for a great length of time, zinc can veritably suppress the immune system. High doses are okay if taken for short periods of time, but is more useful to the immune system if taken continuously in proper dosage along with other needed nutrients, in daily

supplementation.

Benefits for people of all ages

Nutritional supplements have been shown to be beneficial for people of all ages, young and old, in the prevention of infections, strengthening of the immune system, and preventing the onset of degenerative diseases. Something to know however is that it is normal to need at least six months or more to obtain the fullest profit possible from nutritional supplementation.

It is imperative for our well-being that each one of us individually takes full responsibility as far as possible, for the state of our own health. Intake of the highest quality nutritional supplements available on a daily basis, along with a good diet and exercise can truly put you on the royal road to perfect health, a gift more precious than gold.
