Immune System Support
MaX VRL™
Available in 60 vegetarian capsules
Detailed Description
The immune system defends the body against unfriendly
microorganisms. The active “soldiers” that maintain immune
system activity include specialized white blood cells, lymphocytes,
phagocytes, killer T-cells, antibodies, interferon, and lactoferrin. The
first barrier against unfriendly invasions is the skin. Mucus secretions,
including tears, gastric acid secretions, and saliva from the parotid
gland, are part of this first line of defense as well.
There are two types of immunity. Innate immunity is the resistance we
are born with, and adaptive immunity is the immunity that we acquire
naturally when we are exposed to infective viruses, bacteria, other
microorganisms, and toxins, or when we are artificially vaccinated.
Antibodies retain long-term memories of invaders they have faced; so,
for instance, a person is likely to have the mumps only one time.
Dietary and lifestyle habits can have either negative or positive
impacts on immune function. For example, refined sugar may interfere
with white blood cells’ ability to destroy unfriendly bacteria.[1] Alcohol
is reported to weaken a wide variety of immune responses.[2] Pang
suggests that determining food allergies and omitting the offenders
may be more helpful in resolving ear infections than conventional
antibiotic treatment.[3] Excessive intake of unhealthy dietary fats has
been reported to suppress natural killer T-cell activity.[4] In addition,
immune system activity may be depressed by stress, overwork, faulty
sleeping, and the aging process. On the other hand, there are many
lifestyle changes and dietary changes that can enhance immune
function. For example, exercise can increase natural killer T-cell
activity.[5] Many vitamins, minerals, and herbs can support immune
health and the numerous processes that help prevent cell damage and
faulty replication.

The integrity and structure of the immune system depend upon
nutrients and nutrient sufficiency. Adequate intake of micronutrients
supports not only the innate immunity that we are born with but also
the immune cell and antibody response that is mounted in the face
of acute challenges. Several nutrients, including vitamin A, vitamin C,
vitamin D, zinc, and selenium, work synergistically to support immune
cell production and activity. Vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc
assist in maintaining two important protective barriers: the skin and
mucosa.[6]
MaX VRL™ provides nutrients that support immune system integrity.
They are vitamins A, C, and D3; TRAACS® (the real amino acid chelate
system) zinc, a patented mineral amino acid chelate; and chelated
selenium. Supportive herbs include echinacea, olive leaf, astragalus,
elder flower, elderberry extract, and goldenseal. Glycerol monolaurate,
beta-glucan, and lysine are present for additional support.*
