Extracts

Lactoferrin

"Human lactoferrin inhibits viral infection by interfering with virus-receptor interaction rather than by affecting subsequent steps in the viral cell entry or replication processes."

"Lactoferrin has recently come under the spotlight, particularly with regards to the new coronavirus pandemic that started in 2019 (COVID-19)."

"Those who are lactose intolerant or allergic, clearly find it difficult to take lactoferrin without coming into contact with the allergen. In this case, food supplements are the perfect solution."

Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi)

Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (GL-PS) are one of the main effective components isolated from G lucidum, and they have been demonstrated to have various biological activities, including immunomodulation and antitumor, anti-angiogenesis, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective effects.

Integrative Cancer Therapies 2018, Vol. 17(3) 674–683

Lutein

Low levels of lutein/zeaxanthin, as well as total carotenoids have been significantly associated with increased levels of oxidative stress, as recently reviewed, and also of inflammation.

Beta-Glucans

Beta-glucans increase host immune defense by activating complement system, enhancing macrophages and natural killer cell function. Beta-glucan is the most known powerful immune stimulant.

Echinacea

Echinacea: its modern application is primarily for immune support.”
Both Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia appear to activate non specific cellular and humoral immunity and the complement system.

Altern Med Rev 2007;12(1):25-48

Astragalo

Several studies focused on its immunomodulatory properties, and AR was shown to increase human lymphocyte prolifertion, cytotoxic T cell responses and IgG production. Furthermore, it enhanced antibody responses.

Uncaria Tomentosa

Uncaria Tomentosa enables the stimulation of the immune system, increasing resistance to diseases when the body is immunosuppressed due to stress or malnutrition.

Ginger

Ginger has been used as an essential ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine for treating cold, headaches, nausea, stomach upset, diarrhea, arthritis, muscular, infectious disease. Ginger is rich in various active ingredients such as ginger polyphenol, curcumin, gingerol, ginger essential oil and ginger polysaccharide.

Ginger, an herbal product with broad anti-inflammatory actions.

Minerals

Zinc

“Zinc is necessary for the immune system to function correctly.”

“Zinc supplementation (5 mg/die) for four weeks significantly increased the number of NK cells. NK cells play a key role in sending signals that stimulate an immune response.”

“A low zinc status has been associated with increased risk of viral infections.”

“Zinc is essential for the function of the immune system.” Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is involved in the regulation of the innate and adaptive immune responses”

Selenium

“Viral and bacterial infections are often associated with deficiencies in macronutrients and micronutrients, including the essential trace element selenium.”

“Dietary selenium supplementations were suggested as adjuvant therapies of influenza infection, supporting the immune response”

“Adequate concentrations of selenium are essential for initiating immunity”

Copper

“Copper is involved in the functions of critical immune cells such as T helper cells, B cells, neutrophils natural killer (NK) cells, and macrophages.”

“Copper plays an important role in the function and maintenance of the human immune system.”

"Copper has been shown to have a role in the innate immune response to bacterial infections."

Vitamins

Vitamin D

“Vitamin D is a secosteroid that has a wide spectrum of immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory antifibrotic,
and antioxidant actions. Expression of inflammatory cytokine was inhibited by vitamin D and its
insufficiency was associated with over expression of Th1 cytokines.”

“Vitamin D deficiency is associated with viral respiratory tract infections.”

“Considering the range of beneficial effects ascribed to vitamin D, it is safety and ease of administration, as well as direct effects of vitamin D on immune cell proliferation and activity, pulmonary ACE2 expression and reducing surface tension, evaluation of vitamin D supplementation as an adjuvant therapeutic intervention could be of substantial clinical and economic significance.”

“The role of vitamin D in modulation of the immune system is supported by the presence of vitamin D receptor on cells of both the innate and the adaptive immune system, including macrophages, dendritic cells, B cells, and T cells. In general, it seems that vitamin D stimulates innate immune responses and modulates adaptive immunity.”

“Vitamin D supports key functions in many organs, including the brain, muscle and the immune systems.”

“Vitamin D supplementation may prevent acute respiratory infections (ARIs), which is based on the fact that these infections are much more common during the winter, which coincides with lower vitamin D levels in the population.”

“Given the common problem with ARI (Acute Respiratory Infections) and especially now in the corona epidemic, a small vitamin D supplement may be beneficial, and definitely not harmful."

Vitamin C

“People deficient in vitamin C are susceptible to severe respiratory infections such as pneumonia”

“Vitamin C reinforces the maintenance of the alveolar epithelial barrier.”

“Vitamin C increases serum levels of antibodies.”

Vitamin B1

“B vitamins are involved in many energy-related enzymatic processes.”

“The vitamin B complex comprises eight water-soluble constituents: thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin
(B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folic acid (B9), and cobalamin (B12). They are functionally related and cooperate in protein, lipid, and nucleic acid synthesis, energy production, and immune defense; they also exert numerous effects on brain function.”

“The eight vitamins that make up the group of B vitamins have various functions but are, however, related in that they act predominantly as co-factors to enzymes involved in energy metabolism and the synthesis of organic molecules. Through these functions, they play an essential role for the immune system that is composed of cells subject to a high turnover.”
