Our immune system is a finely balanced and powerful regulator of our body's response to attack by a myriad of external factors. These include bacteria, viruses, allergens, mutant cells, environmental chemicals, toxins and other infectious agents. We are thus prone to only think that we need a strong immune defensive system. But this is only part of the equation. Many health problems are caused by a hyperactive, or misguided, immune system. Instead of assaulting the enemy, it turns like a misguided missile and begins to destroy one’s own healthy cells. This triggers what we have come to call autoimmune disorders. Clearly, we need not only a strong immune system but also a “smart” one.

MegaFlax Immune has been formulated to enhance a “smart” and balanced immune response. Its essential omega 3 oils from organic flax seed are a major factor in achieving this. Scientific study has shown that our immune system is kept under control by the body’s essential fatty acid-based regulatory system through stimulation of powerful hormone-like messenger-carrying regulating molecules called prostaglandins. It is their function to help mobilize the immune system and, equally important, to regulate against an overactive response that can lead to chronic immune dysfunction.

Diet is crucial to proper immune health. Eating too much of the wrong kinds of fats (the omega 3, omega 6 imbalance) can cause the body to produce a class of prostaglandins that promote inflammation. Combining specific phytonutrients along with balanced omega essential fats provides diverse additional support for a balanced immune system. These specific classes of botanicals act to properly mobilize our bodies’ immune response. Beta glucans from Maitake mushroom, polyphenols from olive leaf, anti- inflammatories from curcumin, and cleansing from cranberry and milk thistle are examples of positive benefits that derive from over twenty plant ingredients selected to support and regulate immune response. MegaFlax Immune additionally includes antioxidant vitamins and a special blend of probiotics for digestive support.

Daily supplementation with MegaFlax Immune is a preventative means of providing our bodies with plant sources of ingredients from whole foods to promote balanced and “smart” immune health.
