Imm¹

The immune system is made up of various organs, cells and proteins, which protect the body from harmful foreign bodies that can compromise your health.

When you are born you inherit a certain level of immunity from your mother, known as innate immunity. As you grow you are exposed to different pathogens from the environment which help to develop your adaptive immunity. These two types of immunity combined are responsible for detecting, fighting, removing and 'remembering' foreign bodies that you encounter every day, all of which contribute to a speedy and forceful immune response.

Generating an immune response is a complex, multi-tiered process which requires considerable energy and resource. This is why we can feel a little run down when we are exposed to bugs. The effectiveness and the speed of your immune response changes as you age and can also be affected when your immune system is under pressure (such as exhaustion or stress). Your immune system is also connected to your ability to recover from injuries, which also changes with age.

70-80% of your immune system is located in the gut.

Imm¹ supports the immune system via the gut, alongside antibodies that your immune system produces. Antibodies are specialized, Y-shaped proteins (glycoproteins) that bind like a lock-and-key to the body's foreign invaders. When antibodies find their target, they bind to it, which then triggers a cascade of actions to support recovery.

Imm¹ also supports the function of the immune cells and normal histamine levels throughout the body, for an optimal immune response.

→ Supports immune system and immune cell health
→ Supports healthy recovery times in periods of stress
→ Supports gut homeostasis for optimal immune function
→ Supports energy levels when recovering from illness
