IMMUNE SYSTEM

Your body's immune system is essential to your very survival. The immune system is a complex network of specialized cells and organs that defends your body against attacks by foreign invaders. When functioning properly, the immune system seeks out, finds, and destroys pathogens and infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. When it malfunctions however, a number of diseases, from allergies to arthritis, cancer, MS, or AIDS can develop or the immune system could see its own cells as foreign and attack them. This is called autoimmune disease.
An abnormal production of the chemical interleukin-6 by the body is associated with autoimmune disorders and inflammatory and allergic conditions. Plant sterols and sterolins block this abnormal production on interleukin-6 and thereby, help prevent autoimmune disorders, inflammation, and allergic conditions.
