PRODUCT INFO
The Benefits of Immune System Support
Maintaining a healthy immune system helps the body defend itself when faced with challenges. Inflammation is a key part of the immune response by reacting to stimuli and responding accordingly. Increased cytokine production is part of a normal inflammatory response. However, consistently elevated cytokines in the absence of a trigger can lead to an overactivated immune response.*
In cell culture studies, Immuplex® was shown to affect cytokine production, including IL-8, IL-10, TNFα, and IFNy, indicating its role in mediating T-lymphocyte inflammation.1
How Immuplex® Works to Support Your Immune System
Immuplex® contains several micronutrients that function to support the body’s normal inflammatory response.* They also work synergistically in the immune response, and many are critical for antibody production.
These micronutrients include zinc, selenium, vitamin C and vitamin E. They exhibit antioxidant properties which may help support oxidant-mediated inflammation2-3 and are essential players in a healthy immune system response.4-6
Vitamins B6, E, A, and C — also found in Immuplex® — may support healthy white blood cell function. White blood cells are vital components of the immune system.7,8

How does zinc support immune system health?
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for basic cell activities and has a key role in aspects of healthy immune function14 and healthy inflammatory response in the body15. In particular, zinc plays a role in both innate and adaptive immune responses, which has been extensively reviewed and studied.16-20
What is vitamin E, and how does vitamin E support immune system health?
Antioxidant vitamin E — known to be one of the most effective nutrients in the modulation of the immune system21 — supports T cells, monocytes, and cytokine production in the body.22,23
