380,000 billion viruses in the body
In the April 2021 issue of “Le Scienze” we read that “according to biologists, approximately 380,000 billion viruses live on the surface of our organism and inside it, a figure ten times higher than that of bacteria.
Some viruses can cause diseases while others can coexist with our organism without problems. The important thing is to maintain the balance and our immune system works precisely for this purpose. Internal or external variations to us can decompensate the coexistence and then a pathology manifests.
From October onwards, for example, it happens to suffer from seasonal illnesses such as flu and colds. Other viral infections that have become quite widespread lately are molluscum contagiosum, warts, and shingles (both caused by herpes zoster). To defend ourselves, we must therefore, on the one hand, attack dangerous viruses, and on the other, support our natural defenses.
herpaso Kids: an innovative product
From A&RPharma here is an innovative product that 'plays' on two fronts. herpaso Kids is a food supplement based on quercetin, which inhibits viral replication and reduces proinflammatory cytokines, and inulin, a prebiotic that promotes the growth of intestinal bacteria that are allies of health, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, against pathogenic bacteria, and reduces the permeability of the intestinal mucosa, making it more resistant to 'enemy' attacks.
It also contains betaglucan, an immunomodulatory, copper gluconate with antiviral action), vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), an antioxidant, and zinc gluconate, useful for defending the immune system.
Quercetin is a flavonoid (plant compound) found in large quantities in some foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Scientific studies show that it prevents viruses from entering cells. Quercetin also has anti-inflammatory, antihistaminic and immunomodulatory properties. Inulin also demonstrates immunomodulatory activity, that is, it stimulates the synthesis of IgA immunoglobulins, enhancing the immune response. In addition, it has an antioxidant action against free radicals. Inulin is the reserve oligosaccharide typical of the Asteraceae (Composite) plant family. It is extracted from chicory root or white truffle and dahlia tubers.
herpaso Kids in soluble sachets is ideal for children and adults who have difficulty swallowing pills and tablets. It is gluten free and naturally free of lactose and added sugars.
The immune system can be activated automatically (innate response) or can develop the response slowly following an initial contact with the antigen (adaptive response).
When an infection is underway and inflammation arises - that is, the battle of the immune system against the antigens erupts - we can understand it from the symptoms which are: redness, swelling, heat, pain, fever, phenomena caused by the increase in blood flow in the tissues.
herpaso Kids is born from a global antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and adaptogenic approach. It is recommended to take one sachet per day diluted in at least 100 ml of water, for prevention, two sachets per day in the acute phase, during the infection.
