Immune System: Your Body's Natural Defense System
The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, organs and proteins that work together to support the health of the body. Having a strong, resilient defense system not only helps you maintain good physical health, it also supports your overall well-being, impacting your quality of life.
However, our fast-paced world doesn’t always lend itself to the healthiest lifestyle, and factors, such as stress and lack of sleep, can impact the health of your immune system. Given the unpredictable nature of immune challenges, it’s important to proactively support your immune system, helping it stay strong and healthy (and you feeling your best!).
While conventional immune health supplements generally provide support to specific parts of the immune system, IMMUSE has been clinically shown to activate pDCs, which play an essential role in stimulating and directing the cellular activity of both the innate and adaptive immune responses for system-wide immune support.
PLASMACYTOID DENDRITIC CELL (pDC):
Leader of the Immune System
The immune system is comprised of a variety of different immune cells, each with their specialized role, that must work together to effectively maintain the overall health of the body. In order to do so, they need a leader.
Enter the plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC), a unique type of immune cell that acts as the commander of the immune system. Once activated, pDCs recruit and stimulate nearly all other immune cells, orchestrating a comprehensive immune response.
Critical Cells of The Immune System
Natural killer (NK) cells
Natural killer (NK) cells are involved in the first-line innate immune response, immediately responding to any outside stimuli the body encounters.
B cells
B cells are part of the longer-term adaptive immune response and specialize in the production of various antibodies.
Helper T cells
Helper T cells coordinate the adaptive immune response by communicating with other immune cells and assisting them in their unique role. They help stimulate B cells, increasing the production of antibodies, and support killer T cells.
Killer T cells
Killer T cells are part of the adaptive immune response and respond to antibodies produced by B cells.
A cutting-edge postbiotic, IMMUSE’s unique ability to activate pDCs stimulates immune function at the cellular level for a more organized, system-wide immune response.
