IMMUNO AID
COMBO A SUPERIOR FORMULATION THAT BOOSTS IMMUNE FUNCTION & INCREASES
STAMINA
Selected Vitamins,
Minerals and Amino Acids and has been combined as an immune system booster.
Also included are Lactoferrin and pre and pro-biotics known to be nature's
greatest enhancers of a strong immune system. The pre and pro-biotics
also assist and restore balances in the intestinal system.
THE FACTS:
The Immune System is the body's first defense in maintaining health, preventing
illness and hastening recovery. Research has shown that supplementing
the immune system can help you to resist illnesses. Lifeforce offers you
a product that will play a vital role in the healthy functioning of your
immune system.
The Immune System:
A complex system, which protects the body against pathogenic organisms
and other foreign bodies. The immune system incorporates the humoral immune
response, which produces antibodies to react with specific antigens, and
the cell-mediated response, which uses T cells to mobilise tissue macrophages
in the presence of foreign body. It also protects the body from invasion
by creating barriers and inflammation. The local barriers provide chemical
and mechanical defences through the skin, the mucous membranes and the
conjunctiva. Inflammation draws polymorpho nuclear leukocytes and neutrophils
to the site of injury where these phagocytes engulf the invading organism.
The humoral response and the cell-mediated response develop if the first
line defenses fail or are inadequate to protect the body. The humoral
immune response is especially effective against bacterial and viral invasions
and employs B cells that produce appropriate antibodies. The principal
organs of the immune response system include the bone marrow, thymus and
the lymphoid tissues. The system also employs peripheral organs, such
as the lymph nodes, spleen and lymphatic vessels. The antigen-antibody
reactions of the immune system activate the complement system, which removes
antigens from the body. The complement system contains several discrete
proteins, which function to produce lysis of the antigenic cells. The
humoral response may begin immediately upon invasion by the antigen or
may start as long as 48 hours later.
What can go wrong
with the immune system?
Becoming Immuno-deficient is an abnormal condition of the immune system
in which cellular or humoral immunity is inadequate and resistance to
infection is decreased.
The Immune System contains lymphatic glands that help to filter out infection.
The glands also prevent germs from infecting other body organs. Infections
enlarge the lymph nodes. They swell up with millions of lymphocytes as
the body mounts an immune response to kill the foreign organism. Particularly
noticeable are the neck glands after a sore throat or other respiratory
infection (for instance glandular fever, a viral infection transmitted
by saliva, causing painful glands for weeks).
The presence of painless large nodes is more serious. It is associated
with Epstein Barr Infections (One of the ME / Yuppie Flu Viruses) HIV,
Aids and Cancer.

IMMUNO AID COMBO HAS BEEN MEDICALLY CREATED TO STIMULATE AND STRENGTHEN
YOUR IMMUNE FUNCTION
FUNCTIONS OF SELECTED
COMPONENTS IN LIFEFORCE IMMUNO AID COMBO
AMINO ACIDS
Proteins are the most complete of all food compounds. They are made up
of any one of thousands of combinations of just 24 Amino Acids. Of these
there are 20 amino acids that make up approximately 40,000 different types
of protein found in the human body. These 20 amino acids are the building
blocks of peptides, polypeptides, and protein. Eight amino acids are 'essential
amino acids', ones that the body cannot manufacture (synthesize) itself,
but which must be acquired. They are essential for nitrogen equilibrium
in adults and optimal growth in infants and children. Without them, no
synthesis of protein can take place.
Amino Acids found in this formula perform as anti-oxidants and can help
ward off bacterial and viral diseases, increasing stamina and protecting
against immune system suppression.
BARLEY GRASS
Barley grass contains at least sixteen vitamins, twenty-three minerals,
eighteen amino acids, natural chlorophyll and one of the most important
aspects is that it contains live digestive enzymes.
Chlorophyll has the potential in stimulating tissue growth and red blood
cell formation. Chlorophyll reduces absorption of dietary carcinogens
Barley grass has a high alkalising effect, which helps reduce the acidity
in our body fluids. Our cells cannot adequately function if the PH (which
measures acidity and alkalinity) is not in a narrow range. Most processed
food is acidic and when we consume too much of it, the acidity-alkalinity
balance in the body is upset.
Enzymes
Enzymes are the catalysts for the body's essential chemical reactions
and are responsible for our digestive processes, for providing cellular
energy, antioxidant effects and also for the normal functioning of all
bodily functions. These minute particles are found in every cell in the
body. Despite their importance, most people do not get the enzymes they
require. This is because heat destroys enzymes and most of our foods,
whether cooked at home or pre-processed, are heated and the enzymes are
destroyed.
COLOSTRUM / LACTOFERRIN
Research has shown that Colostrum, the first nourishment that a mother
provides her newborn. It 'programs' and blueprints the baby's immune system.
It also facilitates powerful natural immune and growth factors. Lactoferrin,
the primary component, is Nature's greatest enhancer of a strong Immune
System.
Taken as a supplement:
- Lactoferrin can
dramatically boost our own immune powers.
- Taken daily as
a multivitamin, it can turn your immune system into a super fortress
for superior protection.
- Colostrum helps
combat disease-causing organisms such as bacteria, viruses, yeast and
parasites.
- It also helps
resist the harmful effects of pollutants, contaminants and allergens.
- It is an ideal
food source for the immune system and has growth factors which hundreds
of studies report are critical to the health of humans.
GRAPE SEED &
PINE BARK EXTRACTS
Grape Seed & Pine Bark Extract (Pycnogenol) have been used clinically
in South Africa & Europe for a number of conditions including:
- Circulatory problems
of the heart and brain
- Capillary fragility
and
- Macular degeneration
Both are superior antioxidants that are up to 50 times more powerful
than Vitamin C, E and Beta Carotene.
Included in this formulation to enhance the usefulness of these antioxidants,
are Citrus Bioflavonoids, Vitamin C and Selenium.
This combination
is known to strengthen the immune functions, the walls of blood vessels,
reduce inflammation and generally offer nutritional support to tissue
containing collagen and elastin. This in total results in a superior antioxidant.
MINERALS
Research has revealed the crucial importance of minerals. As constituents
of various enzyme systems, minerals are vital factors in health and well-being,
releasing your body's natural healing power.
- Vitamins cannot
function, or be assimilated, without the aid of minerals.
- And though the
body can synthesize some vitamins, it cannot manufacture a single mineral!
VITAMINS
Vitamins are organic substances necessary for life.
- Vitamins are essential
to the normal functioning of our bodies and, save for a few exceptions,
cannot be manufactured or synthesised by our bodies, and must be obtained
from the diet or dietary supplements.
- Food is like the
fuel in an engine, and vitamins are the spark plugs.
- They are necessary
for our growth, vitality, and general well-being.
PRE AND PRO-BIOTICS
Are recommended for the restoration and maintenance of the natural intestinal
flora. They assist in the suppression of diarrhoea, intestinal pathogens
and of inflammatory reactions in the intestines. They treat small intestine
disorders and are ideal for the control of Candida Albicans overgrowth.
Before birth, babies'
intestines are sterile. They acquire intestinal micro-flora from their
mothers during natural labour. By the time they are toddlers there are
more than 400 species of bacteria inhabiting their digestive tract. Some
can be harmful, but a few have a mutually beneficial relationship with
humans. The main ones live in the small intestine and some reside in the
large intestine (colon). Pre and Pro-Biotics control the intestinal flora
and contribute not only to healthy digestion but also to overall well-being.
BENEFITS:
- By producing organic
acids such as lactic, acetic, hydrogen peroxide, prebiotic bacteria
prevent and inhibit infection from a variety of pathogenic bacteria,
yeasts and viruses. If an infection already exists, its growth will
be inhibited.
- It produces an
enzyme that splits lactose (milk sugar) helping with the digestion of
this sugar, reducing the possibility of lactose intolerance.
- By stimulating
the functions of the immune system, it helps to fight numerous pathogenic
micro organisms.
- By enhancing the
absorption of nutrients, particularly of minerals such as Calcium, Manganese
and Iron, it stimulates growth and development in children.
- Preventing osteoporosis
in adults.
By suppressing some
of the undesirable immune reactions, pre & pro-biotics can help control
some food allergies, and Asthma.
INDICATIONS:
Lowered Immune Function, Chronic infections, Systemic Candida, Yuppie
Flu (ME), Fatigue, Stress, Swollen glands, Muscle & joint pains, weight
loss and allergies
DOSAGE
2 Capsules three times a day 20 minutes before meals.
