Several nutrients in Lypo-Spheric® B Complex Plus are required for normal immune system function.
B6:
B6, also known as pyridoxine and pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP) when in the body, supports the production of antibodies. Researchers have found that a B6 deficiency reduces antibody formation, as well as the growth, proliferation, and activity of certain types of white blood cells. B6 is needed for optimal immune system response, and to absorb B12 which is also critical for immune system function.
FOLATE:
Vitamin B9, is critical to producing the nucleic acids RNA and DNA that critical to the immune system response to threats. According to the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, “Clinical folate deficiency, known as megaloblastic anemia, results in impaired immune responses, primarily affecting cell-mediated immunity; correcting the vitamin deficiency with folic acid supplementation restores the affected immune functions.”
Research confirms that folate deficiency reduces circulating levels and proliferation of T lymphocyte cells that play a central role in immune response. Folate is also critical to proper immune function by minimizing internal dangers to your health.
B12:
Studies show that B12 deficiency decreases activity and quantity of multiple types of immune system cells, and that B12 injections restore that activity. B12 deficiency also leads to high levels of the dangerous chemical homocysteine.
SELENIUM:
Some of the most important white blood cells in the immune system require selenium to proliferate in response to threats. Some studies suggest that deficiencies in selenium — as well as zinc and other nutrients — exacerbate the immune system suppression from stress due to chronic disease. “Adequate levels of Se are important for initiating immunity, but they are also involved in regulating excessive immune responses,” write the authors of a review on the topic.
Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that can mitigate the damage of excessive free radicals that leads to oxidative stress, which is associated with premature aging.
“Adequate dietary selenium is essential for the activity of virtually all arms of the immune system. It is particularly significant that supplemental selenium can improve immune function in British individuals who consume diets that are considered adequate by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria but do not meet the British Recommended Daily Intake,” write the authors of an article in the Journal of Nutrition.
ZINC:
According to a 2003 article in The Journal of Nutrition, even mild deficiency depresses immune system capabilities. Low zinc levels impair certain types of white blood cells and bacteria-fighting cells. However, too much zinc can also suppress immune system capabilities, even causing the death of some immune cells in the same manner as too little zinc. The mineral functions as an antioxidant, and clinical research shows that supplementation decreases the biomarkers of oxidative stress.
