Immu-Stem Viral Support

Power Greens For Viral Support

Immu-Stem Viral Support contains 440 mg of Spirulina and 100mg of Trace Minerals per serving (2 capsules) along with supporting herbs, vitamins and minerals. Spirulina is significantly shown in studies by UC Davis, Institute of Medicine (US) Committee on Military Nutrition and International Immunopharmacology to support the bodies response to viral contagion.

Spirulina

Has long been revered for its ability to strengthen the immune system and when taken daily, can be used as an immune booster. Because it actively promotes cell regeneration, it helps wounds heal quicker and makes recovery from illnesses occur faster.

Spirulina is made up of essential amino acids which assist in general nutrition. These amino acids found in Spirulina activate the immune system when a foreign attack is present.

In a study where blood cells were observed before and after administration of Spirulina it was found that natural killer cell function and cytolysis was improved in more than 50% of subjects.(3)

Immunologists

at UC Davis School of Medicine and Medical Center say “Adding spirulina to cultured immune system cells significantly increases the production of infection fighting cytokines. Increases in these cytokines suggest that spirulina is a strong proponent for protecting against intracellular pathogens and parasites and can potentially increase the expression of agents that stimulate inflammation, which also helps to protect the body against infectious and potentially harmful micro-organisms. (1)

Spirulina: works to activate of the human innate immune system by augmentation of interferon production and significantly increases the production of infection fighting cytokines NK or Natural Killer Cells.(1)

What are Natural Killer Cells?

Natural killer cells, also known as NK cells or large granular lymphocytes (LGL), are a type of cytotoxic lymphocyte critical to the innate immune system. NK cells provide rapid responses to virus-infected cells and have the ability to recognize a stressed cell. (4)

NK cells work to control viral infections by secreting IFNγ and TNFα.

Key Supporting Ingredients

Trace Minerals

have been shown to be important for adequate functioning of the immune system, including copper, zinc, and selenium. Also, the optimum level of trace minerals and other nutrients for immune function needs to be included in any diet. (2)

A functional immune system is required for the ability of the host to prevent or limit infections. Clearly, the optimum level of trace elements and other nutrients for immune function needs to be included in any diet. (2)

Barley Grass & Kelp

Naturally rich in many key nutrients that help to support the immune system, such as vitamins A & C, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and enzymes. These help fight off free radicals that can damage your body.
