OrthoMune is a targeted blend of nutrients designed to provide a broad-spectrum support to the body’s immune reserves. The formula includes quercetin, a powerful bioflavonoid that aids in supporting the immune system. Vitamin C and N-acetyl cysteine are potent antioxidants that promote respiratory function and support the function of quercetin. Vitamin D and zinc are important micronutrients needed to create a robust immune reserve. This powerful combination works to promote healthy respiratory and immune function.
Clinical Applications
- Broad-Spectrum Support for Healthy Immune Function
- Support Healthy Respiratory Function
Suggested Use:
2 capsules a day or as recommended by your health care professional.
OrthoMune Benefits:
Quercetin
Quercetin is best known for its antioxidant activity in scavenging free radicals. Additionally, quercetin helps balance cytokine levels and improve T-lymphocyte balance.
N-Acetyl Cysteine
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is the precursor of the master antioxidant, glutathione. NAC has been shown to support mucus clearance and normal respiratory function, through its ability to cleave disulfide bonds in mucus.
Immune Nutrition Base
OrthoMune contains the synergistic nutrient blend of zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin D, which each play a major role in maintaining immune system reserves.
Zinc
Zinc is essential for maintaining immune system integrity and healthy immune development. Supplementation with zinc supports key immune functions such as natural killer cell activity and phagocytosis by macrophages and neutrophils.15 Furthermore, studies show that zinc can directly support the body during immune system challenges and can help support healthy respiratory function.
Vitamin D3
It has been shown that low vitamin D levels have immunologic implications with a significant decrease in immune function, affecting respiratory health. This is most likely because the vitamin D receptor is expressed by several immune cells including monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, B and T cells. Supplementation with vitamin D has been shown to modulate NK cell activity to promote a healthy innate immune response. Along with these immune-supporting benefits, vitamin D has also been shown to support the respiratory system and epithelial tight junction integrity.
