Balance Your Immune System Before Spring Travel

The human body is constantly challenged by germs and viruses from contaminated foods, contact with unclean surfaces and sick people, and the very air we breathe. If left unchecked, these same germs and viruses can multiply rapidly and threaten our overall well being. In other words, we catch the next "bug" (head cold, intestinal flu, diarrhea, etc.) that's going around and get sick.

Especially as we travel during spring break, ride on crowded airplanes or buses, and eat strange foods in different places, our bodies are suspect to a host of new germs. Over 80% of these "bugs" enter our bodies through the mouth and gastrointestinal tract, or the G.I. tract. The good news is that a healthy immune system is designed to stop or control this invasion and, thus, minimize adverse affects. It accomplishes this by presenting a defense largely comprised of highly adaptive immune proteins known as immunoglobulins. These are the soldiers that make up our first line of defense in the G.I. Tract. They identify and neutralize a wide variety of pathogenic bacteria and viruses before they can establish a base of operations from which they can grow, multiply and make us ill.

The bad news is that our bodies and our immune system aren't always operating at their healthy best. Modern-day stresses, poor nutrition, lack of sleep, travel and crowded conditions can substantially weaken our body's ability to defend itself optimally. When the body is under stress, fewer resources are naturally available for immune defense. The immune system actually releases less immunoglobulin into the G.I. Tract.

The NutraSense Company has formulated a natural immune protein concentrate called ImmunoSmart that can make a difference in your ability to fight off these challenges. ImmunoSmart was developed to directly support G.I. tract health and the immune system by delivering an instant boost in immunoglobulin. This supplement isn’t an herb or plant extract, but more of what your body already makes – highly nutritious protein. ImmunoSmart is more concentrated, more consistent, and more readily available than other similar formulas made from colostrums. It is also dairy free and suitable for people who are lactose intolerant.

ImmunoSmart is safe and beneficial for the whole family. Since the protein is not absorbed, but rather works inside the G.I. tract, it can be taken by children and pregnant women. Because a healthy G.I. tract allows you to absorb more nutrients from the foods you eat, you can expect to feel better and have more energy too. Scientific studies support benefits of immunoglobulin protein not only in patients who have compromised immune systems, or have traveler’s diarrhea, but those with Crohn’s Disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS.
