Immune Health

The immune system is our bodies’ natural defence system, and it provides multiple layers of protection against infections. 

Our immune system protects us by creating an effective barrier that stops invaders or antigens, (such as bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections), from entering our bodies. The second layer of protection guards us if anything happens to get past that barrier too, by producing white blood cells, and other proteins and chemicals that attack and can destroy the foreign substance or invader before it can multiply. When functioning optimally, this immune system keeps our bodies in perfect balance and keeps any illness at bay.

Common symptoms of poor immune health may include:

• Bleeding gums 
• Inflammation
• Fatigue
• Skin rashes and conditions
• Slow healing wounds
• Poor digestion
• Allergic reactions
• Frequent infections
