About Ingredients in Innate Immune Support
- Astragalus – contains a variety of active constituents, including saponins and flavonoids, that contribute to its long tradition of immune and cytokine balance support. Studies suggest that astragalus supports NK (natural killer) cell activity, as well as IgA and IgG (immunoglobulins) levels in serum, key antibodies that play a critical role in mucosal immune defense.
- Andrographis – the andrographis extract is standardized for andrographolide and other bioactive diterpene lactones. Research shows that supplementation with 200 mg of AP-Bio® Andrographis for five days promoted immune function and supported respiratory comfort. It is also suggested that it helps to support macrophage (white blood cells that fight infectious agents) function.
- Reishi mushroom – offers a rich source of polysaccharides to promote cell-mediated immunity. The formula includes both reishi mushroom extract and a unique, highly-purified, reishi mushroom-derived beta 1,3/1,6-D glucan extract.
What is the Innate Immune System?
If pathogens make it through our first lines of defense and get into cells, the innate immune system “kicks in.” The innate immune system is a non-specific generic immune response.The injured cells produce chemicals (cytokines) some of which produce an inflammatory response and others which “recruit” white blood cells to the injured site.
The innate immune system does not retain a memory — it does not confer immunity the next time the same pathogen invades the body.
