Levann "jA" Immunity Set

When the body needs faster recovery, as during stress or fatigue, natural sources of nucleotides may not be enough [1]. Immunell™ provides nucleotides, which are the basic building blocks of our DNA and RNA, the foundation of every cell. Clinical studies show that Immunell™ supplementation increases the activity and number of lymphocytes - key immune cells that protect us from infections [2]. In addition, it helps the body more efficiently eliminate the residue left over from fighting pathogens, which speeds up recovery and prevents long-term inflammation [3]. Immunell™ also supports the functioning of the gut, which plays a key role in our immune system, which has been confirmed by clinical studies [4]. It keeps your body running more efficiently, recovering faster and ready for the next challenge.

Beta-glucans are unique compounds, extracted from the cell walls of fungi and yeast, that propel the body to effectively defend itself against infections. They mobilize immune system cells that eliminate microorganisms with diligence, while supporting natural resistance to seasonal infections [5,6]. This regular support can strengthen your defenses, helping your body cope better during periods when the risk of infection increases [7]. Beta-glucans, as a fiber fraction, also support gut function by acting as a prebiotic, influencing the gut microbiota, an important component of the immune system [8].

Lactoferrin is a protein that helps the body fight bacteria, mainly due to its ability to bind iron. The specific structure of lactoferrin allows it to bind iron, which becomes unavailable to bacteria, inhibiting their growth. Therefore, during periods of lowered immunity, when it is easier for us to catch an infection, additional lactoferrin supplementation can support our defense system. This is especially helpful for people who have immune problems [9,10,11,12].

Agaricus Blazei mushroom extract* is a remarkable ingredient from the tropical rainforests of Brazil, where it has been called the “divine mushroom” for centuries. In addition to being rich in amino acids such as glutamic acid and aspartic acid, it contains a valuable source of important vitamins and minerals needed to build strong immunity. In addition, it also contains active ingredients, mainly polysaccharides such as beta-glucans and proteoglycans, which are a key component of the body's first line of defense [13, 14].

*Agacirus Blazei extract contributes to a normal immune response by supporting the complement system and is rich in beta-glucans, which contribute to immune activity.

Elderberry extract* has been used in traditional herbal medicine for centuries. Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties make it an indispensable support during periods of weakness in the body. Elderberry is rich in bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins and flavonoids, which help neutralize free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress.

*Lilac fruit extract helps support the immune system.

Curcuminoids* - are substances that have anti-inflammatory effects and strengthen the body's natural shield to face daily threats. In addition, curcuminoids exhibit antioxidant activity - they neutralize free radicals that try to disrupt the balance in the body, which can weaken natural defenses. Thanks to them, the body's cells have more energy, and the body is ready to fight for health every day.

*Indian Saffron Extract helps maintain the efficiency of the immune system and has significant antioxidant properties, and helps maintain the health of the lungs and upper respiratory tract.

Zinc* also plays a key role in the functioning of the immune system, supporting the development and function of lymphocytes, which are essential to effectively fight infections. This makes the body better equipped to respond quickly to threats. Moreover, zinc supports the protection of cells from oxidative stress. It acts as a protective shield, protecting cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. In addition, it contributes to the maintenance of normal macronutrient metabolism, including protein, which is crucial for cell and tissue regeneration, especially during periods of reduced immunity.

*Zinc helps in the proper functioning of the immune system and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

This refreshing fruit hides more than just culinary potential. In addition to its significant vitamin C content, which supports immunity and helps fight infections, lemon is rich in citrus flavonoids that act as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Its abundance of citric acid and bioactive compounds such as limonene and naringenin give it great antibacterial properties [15,16,17].

A natural ally during flu and cold season! Known for centuries for its anti-inflammatory and warming properties, ginger is a valuable addition to the diet, especially during the colder months. It contains essential oils that not only enrich dishes with their intense aroma, but also support our bodies. The key active ingredients, gingerol and shogaol, give ginger its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Regular inclusion of ginger in the daily diet can support immunity and help the body's natural defense mechanisms [18,19].

A powerful ally in immune support! Rich in vitamin C*, it surpasses most fruits in vitamin C content, making it an invaluable ingredient in an immune support diet. Wild rose itself also offers bioflavonoids that interact with vitamin C to potentiate its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. These compounds help reduce oxidative stress and protect cells from damage, which is important for maintaining a healthy immune system. Including rosehip in the diet can support the body's natural defenses, increasing resistance to disease and infection. It's a natural way to support the immune barrier, especially during cold and flu season [20,21,22].

A natural source of vitamin C, there is up to 100 times more vitamin C in 100 grams of fresh fruit than in other fruits. In addition, the presence of polyphenols and anthocyanins improves its absorption. Acerola extract also contains other important antioxidants, such as carotenoids and bioflavonoids, which help protect cells from oxidative damage [23].

One of the most important natural antioxidants for protecting the body from oxidative stress. Studies suggest that it is associated with both non-specific and specific immune responses. There is no denying that it is indispensable to our body - it performs numerous biochemical functions that affect the immune system's ability to function optimally [24,25].
