Preface: Goodbye "nucleic acid", goodbye "itation code"... The three years of epidemic has finally been relaxed. Although this is the result we have been looking forward to, we are about to usher in an unprecedented impact from the new coronavirus.
According to the speculation of the joint defense expert group of the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the first wave of large-scale shocks will infect 60% of the people across the country, and then enter a stable period. In the end, 80%-90% of people will experience infection.
However, the pathogenicity and toxicity of " Omickron " have been significantly weakened, so everyone does not need to panic too much. The main things that need to be paid attention to are the elderly in the family, infants and patients with chronic diseases with low immune function.
1 virus infection itself belongs to self-limiting disease . The routine infection process is 5-7 days. For treatment after infection, drugs only relieve discomfort in the human body. The fundamental thing to fight virus is to strengthen immunity , , so the choice of nutritional products should be from optimizing the development of immune organ , improving the activity of immune cells and antibodies, and combining nutrients.
1. Protein immuno-enhancing agent
represents nutrients: whey protein powder (immunoglobulin IG, lactoferrin ), collagen peptide, bovine spleen peptide, glutamine, N-acetyl amino acid, taurine , etc.
Interpretation: protein is a life nutrient of the human body, responsible for the construction and repair of all tissues, organs, immune cells, and raw materials for the production of immune antibodies (such as: leukocyte , lymphocyte , etc., updated every seven days. When the protein is sufficient, the immune force is very powerful. When it encounters the invasion of bacterial virus , it can increase by hundreds of times within a few hours).
2. Vitamin immune supplements
represents nutrients: vitamin C (eldera plum powder, needle cherry powder), vitamin A (cod liver oil, AD mixture), plant complex nutrients (comprehensive vitamins, comprehensive enzyme , etc.).
1 Interpretation: High doses of vitamin C can increase the concentration of immune antibodies in the blood and improve the activity of immune cells; vitamin A can promote the production of antibodies by regulating cell proliferation and differentiation; complex vitamins are mostly extracted from plants, and through the antioxidant function of VC, VA, VE and the complex of multiple B vitamins, the absorption and utilization of nutritional enhancers are comprehensively improved.
3. Mineral immune supplements
represents nutrients: zinc, iron.
Interpretation: Iron, as an essential trace element, , has an important impact on the development of immune organs, the formation of immune cells, and the lethality of immune cells; zinc is the most widely studied trace element in terms of immune function. Its lack has a very rapid and obvious impact on immune system , and involves a wider range (including the functions of immune organs, cell immunity , humoral immunity , etc.). Zinc through chelation technology and the participation of B vitamins can greatly improve the absorption rate and utilization rate.
IV. Probiotics and prebiotic immune cell catalysts
1 represents nutrients: Lactobacillus / Bifidobacter (specified by the National Health Commission for infant strains); prebiotic ( sedothelose , fructose oligosaccharide , galactose oligosaccharide, fucoidan, etc.).
1 Interpretation: Probiotics are powerful catalysts for immune cells, helping them to generate quickly, and through the competitive advantage of the number between bacteria, "bacterial treatment of bacteria" inhibits the reproduction of harmful bacteria; prebiotics (bivariate factors) can comprehensively improve intestinal immunity by inhibiting harmful bacteria and promoting the proliferation of beneficial bacteria.
5. Bio-fermentation immuno-enhancing compound
represents nutrients: EpiCor (eating inactive yeast), yeast β-glucan (dextran), etc.
1 Interpretation: high-protein and a variety of trace elements are continuously added to the fermentation culture medium through biofermentation technology. By stimulating the fermentation process, the biofermentation products are extracted, and then the high-concentration immuno-enhancing agent (patent technology) is compounded through a special formula.
1 Summary: The current epidemic is just for emergencies, and you must not use medicine blindly. is the fundamental thing to enhance the body's ability to resist viruses. The self-healing of the new coronavirus infection is a game with the body's immunity, and nutritional status is directly related to the exercise of immune function. Only by maintaining sufficient intake of nutrients can our immune cells be in the best combat state.
