Human cells need nutrients to function. When nutrient levels are not optimal, cellular function can be compromised. The nutrients in Immune Intensive are some of the most researched vitamins and minerals known to benefit cells that support immune function.^†

Here’s a deeper scientific look behind Immune Intensive’s key vitamins and minerals:^†

• Vitamin A - Vitamin A plays a key role in the reading of genes. It is a participant in nuclear receptors that bind both vitamin A and vitamin D. When bound by vitamin A and vitamin D, these receptors change how our genes are read. The action of vitamin A and D receptors play a key role in the following: the formation of balanced levels of immune system cells, the proper migration of immune system cells to sites of injury and repair, and a variety of other important actions.
• Vitamin C- During times of infection, immune system cells experience damage from substances called reactive oxygen species (ROS). Certain immune system cells even produce their own ROS’s to combat viral and bacterial invaders. When the levels of ROS’s become too high inside these cells, they function abnormally. In fact, when they reach a critical point, immune system cells self-destruct. Vitamin C supplements have long been known to support normal cell function by supporting healthy levels of ROS’s. Hence the name antioxidant. Antioxidants such as vitamin C and zinc help support the normal neutralization mechanisms of ROS for a healthy immune system.
• Vitamin D3 - Along with vitamin A, vitamin D, alters gene expression. Receptors have been found on every cell of the human body for vitamin D. Immune cells in particular have been shown to alter how they behave in the presence of healthy vitamin D levels. Studies indicate vitamin D supports healthy lung function, immune balance, and inflammation balance.
• Zinc - Along with vitamin A and vitamin D, zinc is a mineral that helps build immune cells, such as B cells, plasma cells, and antibodies.
• Vitamin K2 - Vitamin K has recently been found to support healthy red blood cell coagulation, lung health, cytokine release, and elastic fiber degradation. Vitamin K also plays a role in immune cell modulation and normal calcium regulation. Recent discoveries point to vitamin K as being supportive of lung health.^†

The combination of these key vitamins and minerals has powerful antioxidant and immune balancing effects.^†

Vitamins A, C, D, K, and the mineral zinc all support healthy inflammatory responses. Try Immune Intensive today to help support a healthy immune system! ^†
