Some extracts with outstanding reputation in the field of immune health include turmeric, Indian currant, South African blackcurrant β- Glucan and resveratrol. These ingredients can improve immune health and prevent the occurrence of common diseases, stress, fatigue, colds, coughs, and other problems. In addition, mineral selenium also has immune support functions.
There are many ingredients that can enhance the human immune system, and there is already research to support their effectiveness.
one
Adaptogens
These natural substances can help the body adapt to stress and affect metabolic processes, including ginseng, medicinal mushrooms, goji berries, ginkgo biloba, South African eggplants, blueberries, ginger garlic, and so on.
two
Indian gooseberry
This is one of the several ingredients that Sabinsa can provide to support immune health. The company's Sabery is a patented standard extract of Indian gooseberry, believed to potentially enhance the body's ability to resist stress, trauma, anxiety, and fatigue. Sabery contains at least 10% β- Glucose gallate. Sabinsa stated that multiple studies have shown that, β- Glucose gallate (rather than ascorbic acid) is the best biomarker reflecting the biological potential of Indian gooseberry.
The standard extract of Indian gooseberry is believed to potentially enhance the body's ability to resist stress, trauma, anxiety, and fatigue.
three
antioxidant
Vitamin C and trace element zinc are common, but they are easily overlooked in the list of immune support components. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in the United States has pointed out that vitamin C has been found to improve the components of the human immune system, such as antimicrobial and natural killer cell activity, lymphocyte proliferation, and delayed onset allergies. Researchers report that zinc deficiency has also been shown to impair the cellular mediators of the human innate immune system, such as cell phagocytosis, natural killer cell activity, and the production of oxidative bursts.
Resveratrol is a natural antioxidant found in grapes, and Sabinsa's Resvenox is an extract of trans resveratrol extracted from the roots of Polygonum cuspidatum. Resvenox can supplement the antioxidant activity of other antioxidants, helping consumers cope with one of the most important stressors today - oxidative stress.
four
South African drunken eggplant
Also known as Indian ginseng. Research has found that it can enhance the body's internal antioxidant system, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase.
five
β- glucan
NCBI defines it as a "natural polysaccharide" found primarily in the cell walls of bacteria, fungi, yeast, algae, lichens, as well as plants such as oats and barley. Kerry's Wellmune is a patented β 1,3/1,6 glucan has been approved by regulatory authorities in major countries around the world, including GRAS approval in the United States and new resource food approval in Europe and China.
When the human body ingests Wellmune, the immune cells in the gastrointestinal tract quickly absorb it and transport it to the immune organs throughout the body. In the immune organs, immune cells (macrophages) will digest Wellmune into smaller fragments. Fragments will bind to neutrophils (the most abundant immune cells in the human body) through CR3. In this way, through Wellmune, neutrophils will be able to recognize and kill foreign invaders more quickly.
Nutramunity, a subsidiary of NutraQ that supports immune health β- Dextran (NBG) is β- 1,3/1,6-glucan is a natural component of the inner wall of brewing yeast cells. Several clinical trials have already proven yeast β- The positive effects of glucan on human immune function. Subjects who are physically and psychologically stressed in their intake β- Dextran was found to reduce susceptibility to upper respiratory symptoms and counteract the negative effects of stress on immune function.
This indicates that even if yeast β- Dextran can have a positive impact on improving emotions. yeast β- Glucan also increase the level of immunoglobulin A (IgA), an antibody that plays a crucial role in the defense against pathogen infections on the surface of the body's mucous membranes.
Food grade Nutramunity can be easily applied to baked goods
In addition, food grade Nutramunity can be easily applied to a wide range of food and beverage products, such as convenience foods, baked goods, and dairy products, as well as medical foods, special dietary foods, and dietary supplements.
six
curcumin
Sabinsa's Curcumin C3 Complex has antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and anti-inflammatory properties. As a powerful immune modulator, it can affect B cells, T cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells.
Curcumin has the characteristics of antioxidation, immune regulation, and anti-inflammatory.
seven
echinacea
Echinacea has the ability to shorten the duration of colds and flu, as well as alleviate symptoms. At the same time, Echinacea also helps to strengthen the immune system and help the body resist infections. The University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) states that herbalists recommend using this ingredient to treat urinary tract infections, vaginal candidiasis, ear infections (also known as otitis media), athlete's foot, sinusitis, hay fever (also known as allergic rhinitis), and slow wound healing. According to information on the UMMC website, preliminary studies in the laboratory have shown that Echinacea purpurea can bind with chicory acid to help inhibit colon tumors.
eight
Lysine
Quantum Health has established a dietary supplement product line based on lysine. The available standard extract forms include capsules, tablets, extracts, or syrups. Choosing the appropriate carrier can optimize bioavailability and stability, while meeting consumer needs for ease of use. The baby boomer generation is no longer so obsessed with the form of pills, but is shifting towards liquids and powders.
nine
MSM
OptiMSM produced by Bergstrom Nutrition reduces chronic inflammation by lowering levels of inflammatory cytokines and supports a healthy inflammatory response, thus benefiting the immune system. MSM also supports the levels of internal antioxidants - glutathione, which is the cornerstone of immune function and prevents immune suppression caused by excessive and vigorous activity.
ten
mushroom
In addition to four brands - Rei Gen, Shi Gen, Rei Shi Gen, and Cordy Gen, Gourmet Mushrooms also produces over 30 varieties of mushroom mycelium organisms under the brand name Mycobiotic. All products are produced in California and have passed organic and kosher certifications.
Our DNA has healing power. The mechanism of these products involves enhancing intercellular communication by influencing the expression of cytokines in our body cells. Communication between cells is crucial for the development of hematopoietic stem cells.
There have been studies demonstrating the support of hundreds of mushrooms for immune health, among which Maitake mushroom extract Maitake D-Fraction has been shown to have the strongest immune support ability, even at doses much lower than other mushroom extracts.
eleven
probiotics
We see probiotics continuing to excel in the immune health market. Ganeden's Ganeden BC30 is used in over 750 types of food, beverages, sports nutrition products, and animal nutrition products worldwide. More than 25 published and peer-reviewed studies have shown that this strain supports digestive health, improves protein utilization, and most importantly, supports immune health.
In addition, probiotics have been proven to enhance the immune health of athletes. The reason for this effectiveness is that 70% of the immune system is located in the intestine, and too few beneficial bacteria, as well as excessive growth of harmful bacteria, yeast, and/or parasites, can cause an imbalance in the gut microbiota. Therefore, preventing microbial imbalance plays a very important role in maintaining immune health.
BLIS K12 from Stratum Nutrition is a probiotic that promotes immune health. Unlike most probiotics, it exerts its beneficial effects in the oral cavity rather than in the gastrointestinal tract. BLIS K12 promotes oral and upper respiratory health in two important ways. The first approach is competitive inhibition. If beneficial bacteria develop well in the oral cavity, there is no room for harmful bacteria to multiply. In another way, K12 produces compounds that target specific bacteria, including Streptococcus pyogenes, which can penetrate their cell walls and effectively destroy harmful bacteria.
