TURN BACK the clock on your immunity’s ‘old age’ with THIS
As you age, there are the changes you can see… like in your hair and skin…
And then there are INVISIBLE changes… ones that can put you in the crosshairs for disease.
Because your immune system can “get old,” too!
That’s why some older folks start to LOSE their ability to FIGHT OFF pathogens… keep dormant viruses IN CHECK… and even KILL tumor cells.
But fortunately, there’s a way to STOP the clock… or even REVERSE the course… on immunity aging.
And keeping your immunity YOUNG could be the secret to creating AIRTIGHT defenses against infection… reinfection… cancer… and more.
Here’s what you need to know about how an anti-aging hero can support your immune health.
A youth-inducing immune booster
Cistanche (Cistanche salsa or Cistanche deserticola or Cistanche tubulosa) was first recorded in the ancient text known as Shennong Bencao Jing nearly 2,000 years ago…
And is known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Rou Cong Rong.
Although its nickname is “desert ginseng“… it’s not TRUE ginseng.
But it HAS earned a reputation for making folks feel GOOD… as it contains anti-aging substances, like acteoside and echinacoside.
That doesn’t just mean better ENERGY…
But also better DEFENSES!
Cistanche is RENOWNED for its ability to STIMULATE immunity… and even REVERSE its deterioration with age.
An aging immune system can leave you VULNERABLE to disease…
But cistanche could help keep your immune defenses YOUNG… and VIGILANT.
This rejuvenating herb appears to work in several ways, namely by helping to…
- ACTIVATE certain immune cells, like T cells
- BOOST the production of immune cells, like NK cells and B cells
- TRIGGER the production of antibodies
- SUPPORT vaccine-induced immunity, and
- BALANCE the inflammatory response.
In a 12-week study on older folks, participants who consumed cistanche showed an 11% increase in NK cell activity… an indication of stronger innate immunity…
But that’s not all.
They also showed clinical signs of more YOUTHFUL immune systems, as measured by the ratio of CD4 cells to CD8 cells.
Among the active constituents of cistanche I just mentioned, echinacoside in particular is known for its immune-supporting powers…
As it’s also a component of echinacea, another herb that’s PRIZED for its ability to ENHANCE immune health.
If you’re interested in trying cistanche for immune support, look for a supplement that’s been standardized to contain a certain percentage of echinacosides… so you know EXACTLY how much you’re getting.
