VitalShield 10 - A Full Description of How It Bolsteres Your Immune System

The Benefits of VitalShield Immune Supplement Ingredients Explained

I am excited to announce the launch of my newest health supplement, VitalShield Immune Defense Complex! It goes without saying that this is the most critical time in our history for being vigilant about our health. In this article, I’d like to explain exactly how this product can help you raise your body’s immune shield.

Vital Shield Immune Defense Complex has the ingredients that scientific studies have shown to not just support the human immune system, but to activate your body’s natural immune response. This emergency immune support supplement contains 10 different immune-boosting ingredients that are in high demand. Having a strong immune system is essential to being able to fight off disease and infection, and to stay healthy.

With SO many environmental and dietary factors bombarding the body each day, the body needs support. The level of stress in today’s tumultuous world combined to the risk of exposure to things that threaten our overall health is unprecedented. That’s why immune health supplements are more popular than ever before.

My immune defense complex contains 10 of the most popular immunity ingredients on the market. These ingredients are vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B6, zinc, L-glutamine HCL, elderberry extract, echinacea powder, garlic powder, turmeric curcuminoids, probiotics.

Ingredient Benefits

Vitamin C

Helps to encourage the production of white blood cells, which are called lymphocytes and phagocytes. These cells help protect the body against infection. These cells are instrumental in healing cuts, bruises, and supporting your adrenal glands when you are under extreme stress. In addition to this, it is believed that Vitamin C has the capability of both preventing and treating respiratory infections. It is for this reason that Vitamin C is considered to be an “immunity superstar” supplement.

Ascorbic acid is the scientific name for pure Vitamin C. It has been shown to support a wide variety of immune mechanisms within the body. While Vitamin C helps to stimulate the production and function of many types of white blood cells, it also helps the body in the production of antibodies, which are proteins that bind invading microbes in order to neutralize them. Additionally, Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect certain white blood cells from the toxic compounds they produce while they are fighting pathogens. This is why it is an essential nutrient for a healthy immune system response.

Vitamin C helps to support the skin and mucous membranes, which are the human body’s first line of defense. When you suffer a cut in your skin, it can become a doorway for infectious bacteria. Vitamin C helps the body to produce collagen, which is a key protein in skin that is needed for the healing of wounds.

Your adrenal glands play an important role in the body’s stress response system. The adrenals use a significant amount of Vitamin C each time a stress response is triggered. It stands to reason that if you are under constant stress, you will be more susceptible to catching a cold or virus infection.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. Oxidative stress weakens the immune system. Excessive exposure to UV radiation, air pollution, smoking, and drinking alcohol are all known to cause oxidative stress and the releasing of free radicals that damage the body. Vitamin E mitigates the stress and damage to the body’s immune cells.

When a virus or a pathogen enters the body, a certain class of immune cells called the “T Cells” are called into action, and they rapidly reproduce in order to fight the invading threats. Vitamin E helps to sustain that reproduction. Macrophages and dendritic cells also benefit from Vitamin E in this way.

Don’t forget that Vitamin E also supports the immune system due to its benefits to the largest organ of the human body, which is the skin. Our skin is the first line of defense to the outer world, and healthy skin is essential to a healthy and properly functioning immune system.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is responsible for producing white blood cells and T cells which regulate immune responses. Vitamin B6 also helps the body make the protein interleukin-2 to direct white blood cell activity. Additionally, Vitamin B6 is vitally important for normal brain development and for keeping the nervous system and immune system healthy.

People who have kidney disease or conditions that prevent the small intestines from absorbing nutrients from foods are more likely to be deficient in B6. Low B6 levels can cause a condition where you don’t have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to your body’s tissues, which is called anemia. Therefore, Vitamin B6 is very necessary for blood health, which in turn benefits the body’s immune system.

Zinc

Zinc helps the immune system fight off invading bacteria and viruses. It also helps the body to make proteins and DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Zinc is a very important mineral that keeps the immune system strong by healing wounds and supporting normal growth.

Some studies show that zinc lozenges may reduce the duration of colds and upper respiratory infections in children. New research suggests that zinc can help control infections by gently tapping the brakes on the immune response in a way that prevents inflammation from getting out of control. An overactive inflammatory response can cause damage to the body, and even become deadly.

The primary benefit of Zinc is explicit, because it stops the action of a protein which ultimately prevents excess inflammation.

L-Glutamine HCL

L-Glutamine HCL is the most abundant and versatile amino acid in the body. Immune cells consume this nutrient at a greater rate than glucose. It is an essential nutrient for lymphocyte proliferation and cytokine production, and neutrophil bacterial killing. Since glutamine is used as a fuel by the rapidly proliferating cells of the immune system, oral intake of glutamine has been said to have a beneficial effect on gut function, morbidity, mortality, and on some aspects of immune cell function in critical studies.

Glutamine has also been seen to decrease the self-reported incidence of illness, probably through its action on neutrophils, which is included in glutamine serums used by triathletes. It also induces an increase of the lymphocyte count.

Elderberry Fruit Extract

Elderberries are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that are said to boost the immune system. They can help tame inflammation, lessen stress, and help to protect the heart. Some experts recommend elderberry to help prevent and ease cold & flu symptoms.

Elderberry extract has been used medicinally for centuries to fight infections, clear up complexions, and boost immunity. Two recent studies showed that elderberry extract supplements shortened the duration of the flu by four days when compared to a placebo. This is why elderberry supplement sales more than doubled between the months of January and March of 2018, after the studies were released.

Echinacea Powder

Echinacea extract helps to stimulate body’s defense system which helps in fighting against germs, viruses, and bacteria. Research shows that it increases the number of white blood cells which help to fight infections. More than a dozen studies published in 2014 showed that this herbal extract had a very slight benefit in actually preventing colds, and also reducing the duration and severity.

Scientists have performed numerous studies to identify the compounds within Echinacea that make it such an effective compliment to mainstream medical treatments. The research showed that Echinacea may modify the immune system while also working as an antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-viral, and even an anti-anxiety aid.

Garlic Powder

For thousands of years, people have relied on garlic to keep infections at bay, increase energy, support the heart, and flavor foods. Sumerian tablets written almost 5,000 years ago reference the medicinal and edible properties of garlic, and we know that it was used as a medicine in ancient Egypt and Greece.

Garlic powder contains compounds that help the immune system in fighting germs. Garlic contains alliin, which when crushed or chewed, turns into allicin (with Vitamins A and C). Garlic acts as an anti-inflammatory agent, and helps to maintain the state of homeostasis for the immune system. It also stimulates the functioning of immune system cells macrophages, lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils. This takes place by the mechanism of modulating cytokine secretion, immunoglobulin production, phagocytosis, and macrophage activation. Garlic also has several other benefits including prevention of obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disorders, gastric ulcers, and even fighting cancer.

Turmeric 95% Curcuminoids

Turmeric, often called “Indian Saffron”, has a long history of medicinal use. The origins using Curcuma Longa Root trace back nearly 4,000 years, establishing its presence in natural medicine in Southeast Asia.

Turmeric is a natural way to help bolster the immune system by increasing the immunomodulating capacity of the body. It has prebiotic-like properties, which enable it to make changes to the gut microbiota, thus supporting the gut-immune connection. It also has the ability to lower cortisol levels. High cortisol levels impair the immune system’s ability to function properly. Turmeric can help regulate immune hyperactivity, thus modulating pro-inflammatory conditions.

Turmeric’s brilliant yellow color comes from the curcuminoid content within it. Curcumin is a powerful compound with numerous health benefits and almost no adverse side effects. Today, we know that curcumin possesses anti-inflammatory benefits, is antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial. New studies also confirm its antioxidant benefits as well.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus

Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a type of beneficial bacteria that resides in the intestines. It can help to induce virus immune defense genes, which helps reduce the risk of viral infections. Several studies have suggested that probiotics may prevent and improve symptoms of the common cold. This bacterium produces lactic acid by producing an enzyme called lactase. Lactase breaks down lactose, a sugar found in milk, to lactic acid. This lactic acid may help prevent harmful bacteria from colonizing in the intestines, thus helping the lining to safely stay intact. This helps to increase the amounts of other healthy beneficial bacteria in the gut.

In study performed with 326 children, six months of daily lactobacillus acidophilus supplementation was found to reduce fevers by 53%, coughing by 41%, and antibiotic use by 68%, and reduced the overall absentee days from school due to sickness by 32%.

In Summary…

Activating your body’s immune defense shield during this time of viral contagion is of the utmost importance. But don’t forget that there are several other factors to consider if you want raise your odds for fighting off infections. Reducing blood sugar by following a strict diet and getting regular aerobic exercise are of equal importance. Please take the time to read my article series entitled “The Sugar Switch” to learn more about how a dietary change can bolster your ability to fight off disease.
