👨🏽‍🦳👩🏽‍🦳

Senior Immune was developed to compliment an active, healthy and independent lifestyle. Immune response is vitally important to our health,
as our body’s innate ability to fight off infections and protect us from pathogens is key as we age.

Preventing deficiencies of zinc and vitamin D3 is an important way to support the mature immune system.  Recent studies have shown that the elderly population can be chronically low in both of these important nutrients. 

Senior Immune features Zinc and D3 to support mature immune systems. It also includes ingredients such as: ascorbic acid and astragalus root – both providing antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. William’s elderberry, packed with antioxidants. Copper, beta glucan, and olive leaf – all to support heart health and provide liver protection.  All of these vitally important ingredients are combined in a delicious and natural coconut-papaya flavored chewable tablet.

Senior Calm is our other newest chewable designed to encourage a balanced mood. This supplement, offered in a delicious Tropical Punch Vanilla flavor, features Magnesium – associated with fighting depression and Gamma Amino Butric Acid (GABA) – to aid in anxiety reduction.

Senior Calm also features Lemon Balm – an ingredient to promote calm and ease feelings of stress, as well as 5-Hydroxy Tryptophan and Rhodiola Rosea – both to aid in relieving anxiety and fatigue.

We’re excited to offer a family of supplements for seniors that promote a healthy and relaxed state of well-being and support healthy immunity.

Immunity Support Season

It’s that time of year again! We all notice the weather changing, the days becoming shorter, and watch the trees lose their colorful leaves. This time also creates an awareness that the immune system needs to be supported – to prevent, or at least lessen, the severity of illnesses associated with the season. This may include viral colds, flus, and other respiratory challenges.

What can be done to support the immune system?

Of course, there are lifestyle habits that are great for supporting the immune system like: getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, finding ways to decrease or manage stress, and eating nutrient-dense foods. Taking a nutritional supplement formulated with specific immune supporting nutrients is another great way to provide additional targeted support.

Every age group has its own special needs when it comes to targeted immune support. Children have their unique set of challenges, as they are in close contact with other children their age, as well as dealing with the stress of school, while their immune system is still learning “what-is-what”. Adults have a set of changes too as the immune system ages, it is not as robust as it used to be, making the body more prone to illness.

Priority One Vitamins has formulated nutritional supplements with these needs in mind – we have created a line of immune supporting supplements that can be helpful for any age group. These include our products Bio Vegetarian, Super Bio Vegetarian, Senior Immune, Kindermune, Kinder Well, and Beta Glucan. These formulas were designed to support the body’s natural immune response using a combination of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, while the added support of plant constituents, spices, glandulars, enzymes, and medicinal mushrooms are included for powerful immunity protection.

For the month of November, our top immunity support formulas are 20% off. Additionally, we are offering a chance to win $150 gift certificate. Email us at marketing@priorityonevitamins.com with subject “Immunity Support” for your entry into the drawing !

20% off of our newest product – Senior Immune!

We’re excited to announce our newest formula – Senior Immune!

Now more than ever, our immune response is vitally important to our health, within all age groups. This includes our seniors, who lead vibrant, healthy and more independent lives – which are key to longevity.  Senior Immune was developed to compliment their active lifestyles. 

A healthier life is dependent on our body’s innate ability to fight off infections and protect us from pathogens.   

Studies have shown that a well-balanced immune system can both initiate a robust healthy inflammation response in fighting pathogens and also know when to turn down the heat to modulate that response. 

Preventing deficiencies of zinc and vitamin D3 is an important way to support the mature immune system.  Recent studies have shown that the elderly are chronically low in both of these important nutrients. 

Senior Immune features Zinc and D3, along with well known ingredients such as ascorbic acid, astragalus root, William’s elderberry, copper, beta glucan, and olive leaf.  All of these vitally important ingredients are now combined in a delicious and natural coconut-papaya flavored chewable tablet.

Olive tree leaves have been used in the Mediterranean area as food and traditional medicine in virtue of their healthy effects on the population.  Olive leaf extracts (OLEs) contain higher amounts of polyphenols than those detected in extra virgin olive oil and the fruit. 
Several lines of evidence support it’s use in maintaining proper cardio function.  OLEs are proven sources of  beneficial anti-oxidant activities. But most importantly the unique ability to maintain the equilibrium between T regulatory cells and Th17 cells respectively lends to it’s benefits on the human immune system and it’s native function.

August Product Spotlight- Kinder Well

Designed by a naturopathic physician, Kinder Well is a combination of vitamins, minerals, and herbs formulated to help fortify and support healthy immune function.

It supplies specific ingredients to support the body’s natural production of white blood cells, including T-cells and neutrophils along with immune-supportive anthocyanins, flavonoids and polyphenols.

The immune system begins to develop from the moment we are born gradually maturing throughout infancy into adulthood. Immune antibodies (IgG) transfer from mother to baby during pregnancy and through breast milk, providing critical early protection against infectious diseases. As this fades away children become more vulnerable to certain infections as the innate and adaptive immunities mature. Children may still acquire bacterial, parasitic and viral infections that will be regulated and fought off with immune responses. Thus creating immunological memory and providing protection with increased immune responses.

Take advantage of this month’s special on Kinder Well by entering discount code â€śkinderwell20” at checkout for 20% off.  Offer is valid on up to 12 bottles..

Guest Blog: Our Lymphatic System

Our Lymphatic System

Our Lymphatic SystemDr. Melina Roberts

The lymphatic system is our secondary circulatory system.  It plays an important role in supporting our immune system and treating inflammation in the body.  The lymphatic system circulates throughout the entire body.  The lymphatic system is made up of lymphatic fluid, lymphatic vessels, lymphatic nodes, the spleen, the thymus, tonsils and Peyer’s patches in the gut.  The lymphatic system drains and cleans up all the tissues in our body.

Lymph nodes are biological filtering units and are distributed throughout the body.  Lymph nodes produce white blood cells called lymphocytes that defend the body against microorganisms and other harmful pathogens or toxins in the lymphatic fluid before it returns to the blood stream.

The obvious sign that the lymphatic system is congested or not flowing effectively is edema or swelling, but there is often more subtle signs such as lowered immune function, chronic infection, chronic inflammation and reduced detoxification capacity.  Reduced immune reactivity is another sign of lymphatic congestion.  The immune system can become less reactive to microorganisms or toxins if the body is in acidosis, therefore when a person says that they never get sick, it is not necessarily a good sign.

Promoting lymphatic drainage is significant in addressing inflammation. The lymphatic system removes and filters inflammatory mediators.

The lymphatic system can become congested from food intolerances, immune challenges, heavy metals, environmental toxins, surgery, scars or structural imbalances.

Food intolerances can lead to the ineffective breakdown of foods where certain proteins get caught in the lymphatic fluid.  Immune challenges such as viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites whereby the lymphatic system is working to removing and eliminate these pathogens from circulation can lead to congestion of the lymphatic system.  Heavy metals and environmental toxins will congest the lymphatic system as they overload the detoxification pathways and this leads to chronic inflammation. Scars or surgery or structural imbalances can lead to physical barriers in effective drainage of the lymphatic system.

When trying to improve lymphatic circulation, it important to also understand flow pathways of this closed internal system.  We have a superficial lymphatic system that drains our head, neck, skin and breast tissue.  Then we have a deep lymphatic system that drains all of our deep vital organs.  The superficial lymphatic system drains into the deep lymphatic system, the fluid then filters through the liver and empties out the colon.

Most typical lymphatic massages only focus on the superficial lymphatic system and without properly stimulating the deep lymphatic system, there cannot be proper drainage of the superficial lymphatic system into the deep lymphatic system.  Also if the liver is congested or the colon is not moving effectively, then can back up the system and cause congestion of the lymphatic system.

In order to support proper lymphatic drainage, the deep lymphatic system needs to be stimulated, the liver to be supported and the bowels need to be moving effectively.

Biofilms role in today’s health.

What is a BioFilm?

Biofilms are little communities of organisms in your body that join forces to avoid elimination. The protective coating they form is officially called a polymer matrix, which is like a “force field” or barrier that keeps drugs like antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals or any other antimicrobial from being effective in removing them. They are a huge concern in the medical community at the moment, however, many patients and physicians don’t even know about them. 

Biofilms are capable of adapting to many environments and thus can be found in all parts of the body. These areas include teeth, sinuses, tonsils, eustachian tubes of the middle ear and the intestines. Biofilms in the intestines can lead to chronic digestive and allergic responses often seen in difficult cases.

Immune Imbalance

The immune system is responsible for attacking, controlling and eliminating biofilms. In healthy individuals, this happens regularly, however, in susceptible individuals, biofilms can take hold and begin to wreak havoc on the whole body, specifically the immune system.

T-Cells

By launching an attack on the biofilms via immune cells (macrophages, natural killer cells, cytotoxic T cells and T lymphocytes) the body also creates a significant amount of inflammation. What happens then is the immune system shifts to what we call a TH2 dominant state with the TH1 cells in a lowered state. By shifting to TH2 dominance, the body is then unable to launch a full TH1 attack and eliminate the biofilm. It is most likely constantly battling the biofilm, but simply doesn’t have enough strength to eliminate it.

A TH2 dominant state is very common in many conditions. The TH2 dominant state is what we find in many people with traditional allergies. If you have an overactive TH2 dominant system, you will tend to have food allergies and sensitivities or airborne allergies and an increase in histamine release. This may even be confused with histamine intolerance. Some things that may push someone towards TH2 dominance include genetic predisposition, toxic substances and heavy metal exposure.

Biofilms and the Gut

One of the reasons you may have biofilms in the first place is due to early exposure to antibiotics. There are actually good biofilms that can be destroyed by antibiotics. These good biofilms and healthy gut flora provide a natural type of defense to foreign invaders.   Without the good biofilms as a defense mechanism, bad biofilms can proliferate and destroy the gut lining and increase permeability, a term commonly coined as “leaky gut”. With leaky gut, the intestinal barrier is compromised and allows substances to move into the bloodstream. By allowing different substances into the bloodstream, inflammation begins and things such as food allergies and sensitivities eventually alter the health of the immune system. The leaky gut will lead us to a TH2 dominant state as I mentioned above. Leaky gut also can slow down digestion, decrease toxin clearance and initiate proinflammatory chemicals.

Clinical Research

Research in gut health and immune system responses to permeable gut linings are revealing significantly new understandings into how these natural defenses work. This new research also helps us learn how to support the body’s ability to maintain a balanced and healthy gut flora.  

Dr. Paul S. Anderson is on the leading forefront of biofilm research and education.  

We are excited to announce that we have received exclusive access to Dr. Paul Anderson’s webinar on BioFilms, worth $59.00 – and are offering it to you for FREE!
