Helps modulate the immune response and maintain immune function at the cellular level
Perilla Plus with NAC is designed to support the immune system by modulating the Th2 immune response, which helps maintain the Th1/Th2 balance and support a healthy tissue response and mucosal health. The Th2 response is affected by stress, aging, and cytokine changes caused by metabolic, hormonal, physiological, and environmental factors. Th2 modulation may be indicated when addressing immune balance issues in the sinuses, respiratory, urinary, and intestinal tracts. Astragalus is used in Herbal Medicine to help maintain a healthy immune system. Preliminary research shows that astragalus supports a healthy Th1/Th2 balance by modulating Th2-associated cytokines and helps support the activity of macrophages, natural killer cells, and T lymphocytes. Astragalus is also used in herbal medicine as an adaptogen to help increase energy levels and stress resistance, helping maintain a healthy immune system during periods of occasional mental or physical stress. Quercetin is known for its antioxidant activity, while N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) promotes the presence of glutathione, a key component of the antioxidant defense system, in tissues. Perilla seed is a high source of polyphenols, rosmarinic acid, luteolin, and other beneficial elements, compared to the leaf.
