We are more likely to succumb to
cancers and infections as we age
because the human immune system’s
ability to fight off diseases weakens as
we get older. There is a wealth of scientific
research and literature surrounding immunosenescence,
or the aging and deterioration of
the immune system. One such study, “Understanding
the Mechanism of the Age-Related
Decline in Immune Function,” authored by
Katsuiku Hirokawa and published in Nutrition
Reviews found that “the immune system of the
elderly is inadequate to cope with common
types of infections.”
Until recently immunosenescence
was thought to be an inescapable,
unchangeable factor of living a long life. But
scientific researchers of the past two decades
have uncovered methods of changing white
blood cells into dendritic cells. Dendritic cells
are the mastermind cells behind the building
and maintenance of the human immune system.
In a 2010 study published in Anticancer
Research, scientists at Niigata University in
partnership with scientists at the Tampa Bay
Research Institute combined white blood cells
with pine cone extracts and found that the
process converted white blood cells into the
immune-boosting dendritic cells. In other
words, these scientists discovered that pine
cone extracts could, in essence, reverse the
breakdown of the human body’s immune system
that occurs naturally with age.
The medicinal properties of pine cones
have been known for thousands of years,
particularly in Greece and Japan. Now, science
is validating what Greek and Japanese
people have experienced through generations
of using pine cones in herbal formulas:
pine cone extract may aid in warding off
infectious diseases and abnormal cell
growth by boosting the immune system’s
ability to function as we age.
Allera, a
research company that develops natural
health remedies, has patented a water-based
pine cone extract called Proligna™.
Tested as safe for human consumption in
three independent American labs, Proligna is
the main ingredient in Allera’s ImmunExtra
herbal supplement. ImmunExtra is the addition
that mature adults should make to their
daily healthy-living regimen. There is no better
herbal supplement for supporting optimal
immune function to add years to your
life and life to your years in an all natural and
safe way!
