It can take a few weeks to several months for the immune system to recover fully from either surgery and\/or anaesthetics.<\/p>\n<p>During this period, you are inevitably more prone to infections.<\/p>\n<p>So it makes sense to boost your immune system when you become ill \u2013 or have been ill.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The basis of a strong immune system<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>A strong immune system depends to a significant extent on the number of your white blood cells \u2013 including <strong>Natural Killer cells, neutrophils <\/strong>and<strong> macrophages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These white blood cells are like a permanently patrolling, rapid response guard that looks out for incoming enemies \u2013 in this case viral, bacterial and fungal threats.<\/p>\n<p>Read more\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-vite.com\/immunoshield\/white-blood-cells-neutrophilsmacrophages-and-natural-killer-cells\/\">\u2192 What are\u00a0neutrophils, macrophages and Natural Killer cells?<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Immunoshield\u2019s beta glucans <span style=\"color: #993300;\">prime<\/span> the immune system<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>A natural compound, called <em>1-3, 1-6 beta glucans<\/em>, \u2018primes\u2019 your innate <strong>immune system<\/strong>. It works by increasing the number and activity level of the white blood cells.<\/p>\n<p>A heightened activity results in more effective innate immunity, which then fights actual threats.<\/p>\n<p>These threats include flu or cold viruses, some respiratory tract infections, TB (tuberculosis), pneumonia, and bacterial infections like chlamydia, E. coli, salmonella or C. difficile.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Wellmune<sup>TM<\/sup> 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>By far the best researched form of 1-3,1-6 beta glucans is <strong>Wellmune<sup>TM<\/sup><\/strong> from Kerry Group, with over \u00a3120 million of clinical trial research behind it.<\/p>\n<p>Beta glucans can be derived from the cell walls of certain plants like shiitake mushrooms, or, in the case of Wellmune<sup>TM<\/sup>, from a form of baker\u2019s yeast. These are then purified so that they cannot cause any allergy reaction.<\/p>\n<p>When the Canadian Military tested some 100 potential immune boosters (even against radiation), Wellmune<sup>TM<\/sup> came out as number 1 for effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>ImmunoShield, containing Wellmune beta glucans, is proven safe to use in the face of both an incipient problem \u2013 for example the onset of a sore throat \u2013 or on a continuous basis.<\/p>\n<p>Safety is an important issue, because the immune system can be <em>over<\/em>-stimulated.
