An exceptionally powerful plantbased antioxiodant formula!
Immune Plus is a very potent and powerful phyto-antioxidant nutrient formula, containing high levels of bioactive plant nutrients called flavonoids and carotenoids. Each capsule has an 0RAC* score of over 5,000 units, which indicates exceptionally high antioxidant activity.
*ORAC means Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, and this is a measure of antioxidant capacity of a food or supplement.
Flavonoids serve as protective nutrients in plant tissues, protecting the plant and its DNA from external threats such as pests, UVA radiation, bacteria, fungi and, luckily for us, they have the same action in the human body once ingested. Flavonoids come in a variety of different colour pigments, and each colour carries a different set of protective nutrients, each with different tissue affinity and protective action.
Many flavonoids have powerful anti-allergic, anti-oxidant, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties, and boost the immune system. Other flavonoids inhibit enzymes involved in inflammation, the breakdown of bone and cartilage and vascular spasm. They also target different tissues; for instance, some can enter the brain whilst others appear to concentrate in the lining of blood vessels. Some flavonoids neutralise free radicals. Others bond to free iron and copper in the body, thereby stopping free radical formation. Another group is capable of locking up free oxygen in the body and preventing the oxidation of vitamin C, thereby protecting it in fruits, juices and in the
body.
Carotenoids in plants and humans help to retain intracellular communication, protecting against damage from many sources including UV light. They are also antioxidants and powerful redifferentiators. Lycopene in particular is known for its ability to protect the prostate gland, and lutein for its ability to protect the cervix and
macular of the eye.
The important thing for us to realise is that we need around 650mg flavonoids per day for optimum health, but most of us are only ingesting 140mg.
Likewise, the average intake of carotenoids is 5mg, against an optimum intake of 20mg. Those of us who eat in excess of 5 portions of organic, dark green vegetables and brightly-coloured fruits per day are probably ingesting near to the optimum levels, but anyone else should consider increasing their intake of fruit and vegetables or supplementing this shortfall.
Improved Immune Plus now contains the potent antioxidant acai berry and the powerful antibacterial agent oregano for added protection.
Dosage
2 capsules can be used daily in people with root or gum infections until the infection has resolved.
For maintenance and protection, 1 capsule every day or every other day is advisable.
