Good afternoon from Synergy WorldWide. Today we come to you live via webcam and I am joined by Dr. Noah Jenkins from the Hughes Center for Research and Innovation. How are you Dr. Jenkins?Doing well. Thanks for having me.
Alright! Thanks for joining us today as we talk about human immune function. Dr. Jenkins, what are some recommendations you have for anybody who is trying sincerely to boost their immune system right now?
Well, there are some very simple things that we can do. I’d say: adequate sleep & exercise, to avoid toxins or toxic behaviors in our life like smoking or junk-foods. And third, a big one, is to avoid micronutrient deficiencies.
Can you talk to how products like Mistify, Phytolife and ProArgi-9+ (the V3 system) and why is it that we are able to confidently and accurately claim that those support human immune function?
Well I really love the idea behind “synergy” being the name of the company. Because this V3 pack also works synergistically to really boost the immune system. ProArgi-9+ has arginine in it, which acts as a raw material to actually build up a lot of those immune cells. As well as supplying your body arginine for all of its other benefits.
Your immune cells – a lot of them produce an enzyme called arginase when they are activated and actually breaks down your arginine stores. So you want to make sure you have enough supplemental arginine to keep those levels up -boosted high.
The Mistify and the Phytolife are antioxidant products. And antioxidant status is really important for your immune system.
You want to have a really oxidative status and these two products work from the outside in and from the inside out. They really work well in conjunction.
The Phytolife has chlorophyll, which turns on your body’s own antioxidant enzymes. To help protect your cells from the inside out. And then Mistify is supplying a lot of very powerful antioxidants from the outside in. To help quench those free radicals and give your body good oxidative status and overall immune system support.
I know that the V3 system has this vitamin profile that you mentioned. The vitamin B6, B12, vitamin C, Vitamin D. Scientifically, how is it that these vitamins support immune function?
Yeah, so they are very good vitamins for immune function. First of all vitamin B and 6 are involved in pretty much every energy-producing enzymatic pathway in your body.
So your body - your immune system’s responses take a lot of these pathways and energy activations systems to work correctly.
These vitamins are cofactors of those enzymes. Necessary components of those reactions.
Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant helping the oxidative status of your body, but it is also a raw material for some classes of immune-cells to be built up in the right fashion as well. Vitamin D helps turns on transcription factors or proteins that turn on your DNA to produce some materials that your immune-cells use to fight off things they need to fight off.
Alright, so with my last few seconds with you here, is there any other advice that you would give for people trying to boost their immune system?
Remember to wash your hands. First line of defense.
I love it! That is great advice.
Dr. Noah Jenkins from Synergy WorldWide and the Hughes center for research and innovation, we thank you! And to all of our viewers we thank you for your time.
