StimuCell is your body's first line of defense against invasive and infected cells and pathogens are your lymphocytes. Commonly known as NK, B and T-cells, these guardians of the immune system are specially programmed white blood cells. NK (Natural Killer) cells are first in line to destroy virus-infected or cancer cells and research has shown a correlation between low NK cell activity and autoimmune diseases. Measurement of NK cell activity is a powerful indicator of immune function.Other T-cells are major players in cell-mediated immunity. Various types of T-cells and cytotoxic cells are programmed to destroy foreign tissue or virally-infected cells, while B-cells target harmful organisms by producing antibodies that bind to antigens. Together, these lymphocytes help regulate the immune response and stimulate chemical substances such as interleukin-1 and gamma interferon.By bolstering the immune system and your immune response, the body becomes a more active partner in the fight against cancer. International research has identified several vitamins, minerals and food components that may stimulate the NK, B and T-cells. Several of the most promising nutrients and phytochemicals are combined in StimuCell, a dietary supplement formulated for immune and lymphocyte support. |
