Improve your immunity
In this context of pandemic caused by the Coronavirus COVID-19
… It is better to prevent, and follow the safety recommendations, even if they seem exaggerated.
The risk of viral infection has increased dramatically due to changes, such as global warming and increased geographic movement of people and goods.
However, the effectiveness of vaccines and remedies for infectious diseases is limited by the high mutation rates of viruses, especially RNA viruses.
From the point of view of nutrition and health, at SALENGEI, always at the forefront of the matter, we want to share with you the products that can help improve immunity such as vitamin D:
The ImmunAge or Fermented Papaya FPP
Colloquially speaking, we could say that the fermented papaya FPP does its job as artillery to kill bacteria, fungi or viruses.
To put it less colloquially, the scientific literature tells us that oral supplementation with PPF induced a “respiratory burst” in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
Respiratory burst (also called oxidative burst) is the rapid release of reactive oxygen species (superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide) from different types of cells.
It usually denotes the release of these chemicals from immune cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages, when infected by different bacteria or fungi and viruses
Clinical laboratory effects of the administration of FPP (Fermented Papaya Preparation) revealed changes in the cytolytic activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, which represents the effects of FPP on the cytotoxicity of NK cells.

The maintenance of the intestinal flora is also essential for a good immune system
There is some effectiveness of probiotics in helping in virus-induced infectious diseases, due to their role in modulating the cross-conversation between commensal bacteria and the mucosal immune system.
There is a unique mechanism by which viruses are eliminated by stimulating the production of type 1 interferon by probiotics through the activation of dendritic cells.
Specifically, one of the best strains with an effect against the common cold, previous influenza viruses such as A/H1N1, was Lactococus Lacti

So probiotics are among the rational complementary options for the treatment of various viral diseases
From Salengei we recommend the Active Flora which, thanks to its multispecies formulation, includes Lactococus Lactis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paracasei, bifidobacterium Lactis and Sacharomices boulardi among other species.
We must also think that there are other viruses that are very prevalent in the population that are not only the influenza virus, for example, CMV, and Herpes.
The problem is that when cytotoxic T cells begin to divide more quickly to prevent the virus from reactivating, the immune system ages more quickly.
There are markers in the blood that help us identify when this immune system becomes more senescent.
The key to this process is to maintain the count of senescent suppressor T cells and increase the number of native T cells and thus rejuvenate the immune system.
A study conducted on 117 subjects in 2010 found that telomerase activation with the plant-based food supplement TA-65® reduced the number of senescent CD8+ T cells by 20%.
It also improved cardiovascular and metabolic markers, remodeling the immune system with a more “youthful” profile by lengthening critically short telomeres, those “molecular clocks” that shorten with each cell division.
When you reduce the number of senescent suppressor cells, you free up what’s known as “immune space” for more native suppressor cells that help maintain a wider repertoire of cells to fight infections and tumors.
On the other hand, vitamin D is another key factor in regulating the immune system:
A Vitamin D supplement such as Mor Epa Platinum omega 3 with Vitamin D, which contains the most bioavailable form of vitamin D3, greatly supports the body’s defenses.
Several studies point to an important role for vitamin D as an immunomodulator, and strong data demonstrate a role in increasing the ability of the innate immune system to fight off pathogens.
There is no general consensus on the desired level of 25 (OH)D3 to achieve immunomodulatory effects, and although there is no current indication in this regard, we do know that between 2000-4000 IU per day are needed to acquire optimal values in the blood.
Based on our experience, we suggest doses of 3000-4000 IU per day during confinement if we do not have our blood value.
The highest dose range should be in winter or when we are for periods of time without sun exposure in the body.
