The Immune System
The immune system is a complex network of specialized tissues, organs, cells, and biochemicals.
Innate immunity is present at birth and provides the first line of defense. The skin, mucus secretions, and stomach acidity are examples of innate immunity. Adaptive immunity is acquired later in life, and includes elements such as antigens that generate antibodies, or white blood cells, T-cells, and B-cells. The adaptive immune system retains a memory of all its activities. The ingredients in Children’s Immune Chewable were carefully formulated to address this intricate system by various biological pathways
Advanced Nutrition: Beta-Glucan and Transfer Factor
Beta-glucan and transfer factor have been widely researched for their immune-supportive
properties. Beta-glucan is a complex sugar (polysaccharide) derived from the cell wall of
baker’s yeast, oat and barley fiber, and many mushrooms. Beta-glucans bind to receptor
sites on macrophages and neutrophils, which are part of the immune system’s first line of
defense. Transfer factors are compounds scientifically extracted from colostrum, which have
the capacity to transfer immune responses from one individual to another, even across species.
Transfer factor from bovine colostrum is rich in immunoglobulins, growth factors, proteins, and
enzymes.
Beneficial Bontanicals
Echinacea, elderberry, and astragalus are renowned herbs with long histories of traditional use. Echinacea has been found in scientific studies to strengthen immune response by stimulating the formation of phagocytes, T-cells, macrophages, and natural killer cells. Elderberry contains a group of powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins, and has been shown to protect cell membranes.
Astragalus is primarily used in modern Chinese herbalism as an immune modulator. In clinical trials, astragalus enhanced the induction of interferon by peripheral white blood cells, increased production of interferon and increased Immunoglobulin A and G antibodies. Children’s Immune Chewable also contains the powerful antioxidants grapeseed extract and citrus bioflavonoids, plus marshmallow root, which soothes and lubricates the throat with mucilage. Maitake mushroom is another source of beta-glucan, while coriolus mushroom has been shown to stimulate macrophages, activate T- and B-lymphocytes, monocytes, bone marrow cells, and natural killer cells, and to promote proliferation and/or production of antibodies and cytokines.
Vitamins and Minerals
Children’s Immune Chewable provides vitamin A (in the form of beta carotene), which supports adequate levels of natural killer cells, macrophage activity (engulfing foreign organisms), production of interleukin 1 and B-lymphocyte activity. Vitamin C, renowned for its antioxidant and immunosupportive functions, is provided as ascorbic acid and acerola. Zinc gluconate supports multiple aspects of the immune system, from the barrier of the skin to gene regulation within lymphocytes. It is crucial for normal development and function of cells mediating nonspecific immunity.
