Product Description

Food supplement useful for supporting the immune system.

Indications

Mandy Immunil is a food supplement based on Lactoferrin (200 mg) + Quercitin with Zinc and Vitamin D3 useful for contributing to the proper functioning of the immune system.

Active ingredients

• Lactoferrin: Lactoferrin (or lactotransferrin) is a glycoprotein composed of 703 amino acids, with iron-transporting and immune action, identified for the first time by Sorensen in 1939 in cow's milk. Very abundant in human colostrum or first milk, lactoferrin circulates in the body mainly in the blood plasma. It is a fundamental part of neutrophil white blood cells.
  Lactoferrin is recognized as having a broad spectrum of biological functions, ranging from controlling iron availability to immune modulation (antimicrobial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, etc.).
• Quercetin: Quercetin, a flavonol abundant in fruits and vegetables and widely used as a dietary supplement to strengthen the immune system, is characterized by three properties: antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory. The combination of these actions makes it one of the most clinically studied supplements for its potential antiviral therapeutic role. Quercetin can influence viral entry and regulate the virus-mediated immune response.
• Uncaria Tomentosa: Uncaria Tomentosa is a plant with a strong immunostimulant effect: it is especially indicated for colds or for prophylactic purposes in combination with other plants. Numerous properties are attributed to Uncaria Tomentosa, including immunostimulant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant, and contraceptive properties. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties attributed to the plant have been confirmed by studies conducted both in vitro and in vivo. The anti-inflammatory action appears to be exerted through the phytosterols and triterpenes contained in the plant. Other animal studies have, however, demonstrated that Uncaria Tomentosa extracts are able to exert an antioxidant action by reducing oxidative stress and through a protective action on DNA against damage caused by free radicals. The oxindole alkaloids contained in Uncaria Tomentosa, on the other hand, are responsible for the immunostimulatory activity attributed to the plant.
• Zinc: Several researchers have reported that zinc deficiency, a widespread phenomenon in low-income countries and in the elderly population, may be a risk factor for greater susceptibility to Covid-19 infection, given the recognized antiviral properties of this trace element. Consequently, it has also been hypothesized that zinc supplementation, where necessary, may promote the prevention of Covid-19 or a more rapid resolution of forms requiring hospitalization. The key points are as follows: Zinc is the second most abundant essential trace element in the human body, and its deficiency highlights critical roles in immune health and the response to infectious diseases. There is overlap between the symptoms, even severe ones, of Covid-19 and Zingo deficiency in the body. Zinc provides help to improve immunity, both to correct chronic nutritional deficiencies and to address acute deficiencies resulting from a viral infection and the host immune response.
• Vitamin D: Insufficiency of this vitamin is a public health problem, affecting over a billion people worldwide. Over the past decade, several studies have shown that there is a link between vitamin D deficiency and the onset of various diseases, including systemic viral infections. Vitamin D has been shown to play an immunomodulatory role and increase innate immunity through the secretion of antiviral peptides. Several clinical studies have shown that low serum vitamin D levels are associated with acute respiratory tract infections, including seasonal influenza. A recent meta-analysis incorporating data from eight observational studies reported that subjects with a high serum vitamin D concentration have antiviral effects and can directly hinder viral replication, and is also effective as an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory agent.
• Melatonin: Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by our body and is essential for rest and the sleep-wake cycle. According to a US study, it could help lower the risk of contracting Covid-19 infection. Melatonin could be especially beneficial for patients at risk of severe forms of Covid-19, given that its natural production is reduced in old age. Furthermore, melatonin suppresses some inflammatory processes, even at the pulmonary level.
• Selenium: Inside the cells of our body, selenium allows the proper functioning of endogenous antioxidants. Being part of dozens of proteins – which for this reason are called selenium-proteins – it participates in various processes, from DNA synthesis to the metabolism of thyroid hormones, including protection from infections. Selenium deficiency can reduce the functionality of skeletal muscles, interfere with the production of red blood cells, alter the pigmentation of skin and hair, and increase the fragility of nails. It can also predispose to the development of diseases in the presence of additional stress such as in viral infections.
