Get Your Defenses Ready For The Season

Revive MD has created a dedicated immunity booster called Immune Defense. It contains quercetin, which although it is often taken as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound, quercetin actually has significant benefits for immunity as well.

It specifically regulates inflammatory cytokines that are associated with chronic inflammation and diseases of civilization, which are implicated in the development of fibrosis front immunological reactions in cancer. At the same time, quercetin seems to regulate interference with other inflammatory cytokines which are involved in direct antiviral and antimicrobial immune responses initiated by natural killer cells. In addition, quercetin has a direct connection with zinc by acting as a channel for positively charged zinc ions to pass through cell membranes and enter cells where they can actually inhibit viral replication.

Unsurprisingly, interest in quercetin’s immune boosting properties has accelerated in recent years due to the growing risk of pandemic diseases. The booster contains the following:

  • Green tea extract, as an antioxidant. It is also capable of inhibiting the replication of many viruses including influenza is a good thing to include into this supplement.

  • Turmeric, which has been used for many years to treat a wide variety of ailments. But in this supplement, it is being used for its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial benefits.

  • Elderberry, to help with inflammation, pain, swelling, infection, and diuresis. The berries of the elderberry plant are rich in flavonoids, antioxidants, polyphenols and vitamins.

  • Andrographis, which help with a wide variety of ailments including the common cold, respiratory infections, pharyngitis, pneumonia, lung infections, urinary tract infections, and liver diseases.

  • 1000mg of vitamin c, an essential nutrient, meaning your body cannot make vitamin C and you must obtain it from other sources, such as food, drinks, and supplements you consume. It’s an antioxidant but it reduces necrosis around tissue damage areas, increases production of T and B cells which are important for immune responses, and finally it increases the upper regulation of monooxygenase and dioxygenase enzymes.

  • Finally, the inclusion of zinc is an absolute necessity for proper immunity. Zinc is required for the optimal function of many cells related to the immunity factors in the body. Immune defense uses zinc gluconate which is a form of zinc shown to outperform cheaper zinc oxide and has shown great success against common cold.

Revive MD’s Immune Defense is a great pre-season cold/flu defense that will help fight off disease.
