NADplus+ Complex & Your Immunity

A healthy immune system has never been more important!

Good lifestyle habits such as sleep, exercise and diet in combination with much needed nutrients, as found in NADplus+ Complex are of utmost importance in our defense against infections.

NAD+, an essential coenzyme enhancing cell energy and playing a role in Redox biology. NAD+ has a beneficial effect on Redox homeostasis, as induced by respiratory viruses. The effect of NAD+ against viral infections has recently been highlighted in clinical trials that also focused on the role antioxidants play in supporting the immune system.

NAD+ also plays an important role in releasing protein messengers namely Sirtuins. Recent studies have pointed to mammalian Sirtuins (SIRTs) as an important defense factor against viruses They have been described as “Evolutionary Conserved Viral Restriction Factors". Sirtuins have the ability to control cellular pathways which are required throughout the viral life cycle. These studies holds promise to have a broad impact on the field of infectious diseases.

Selenium, this antioxidant lowers oxidative stress, in turn reducing inflammation and enhancing immunity. Higher levels of Selenium may help boost the immunity of people with compromised immune systems.

Astaxanthin is a red pigment found in algae, phytoplankton and plants. Astaxanthin is 54 times stronger than beta-carotene. And it’s 65 times stronger than vitamin C. Strongest acting antioxidant known as well as being extremely beneficial for your eyes, central nervous system, brain, skin and immune system and for increasing sports performance & recovery. Natural Astaxanthin seems to improve the immune response by increasing the number of antibody - producing cells. It may also protect immune cells against oxidative stress and membrane damage.

Nutraceuticals like Resveratrol are known to scavenge oxidative stress, reduce inflammation and help support a strong immune system. Resveratrol may even help to reduce nasal symptoms and may help prevent respiratory infections.

Vitamin D3 modulates immune responses. Deficiency in Vitamin D3 is associated with increased autoimmunity and susceptibility to infections.

Studies have suggested that vitamin D deficiency may be the seasonal stimulus that triggers influenza outbreaks in the winter. Vitamin D3 plays an integral role in protecting our DNA which is targeted by viruses when they enter our cells.

Zinc is an important mineral to the body. Zinc keeps the immune system strong and may reduce upper respiratory infections. Zinc is well known for functioning as a shield against many viral attacks.

The most well-known nutrient aiding the immune system is Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps boost the immune system. Infections lead to the activation of phagocytes, which in turn release oxidizing agents, aka reactive oxidative species, a build-up of these in cells may cause damage to DNA, RNA, proteins and cell death. Vitamin C as a cardinal anti-oxidant prevents damage to all cells, most importantly the immune cells

Vitamin C also helps encourage the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infection by attacking and destroying viruses.
