Do You Immediately Think Of Your Immune System When You Have Intestinal Complaints?

January 27, 2021 IMMUNSYSTEM

When we think of our intestines and their tasks, the first thing that comes to mind is usually food intake and digestion. However, it stands for much more than that because 70% of the immune defense already takes place in our intestine. Therefore, this health organ and its influence on the immune system as well as other diseases and complementary symptoms are the focus of science.

Why is an intact intestinal mucosa important?

The intestinal mucosa forms a protective wall from the inside against the uncontrolled influx of foreign microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and toxins. In addition, vast quantities of immune cells are located there.

A healthy intestinal mucosa and a balance of intestinal flora are, on one hand, essential to transport broken down food particles into the bloodstream and, on the other, to ward off unwanted substances.

Anything that can be repelled via the intestinal mucosa relieves the ensuing immune system enormously and therefore represents an important line of defense.

Leaky-Gut – the permeable intestine

The intestinal mucosa as a natural protective wall can be impaired by the toxins that affect us every day. Imbalances in the intestinal flora, food intolerances and, above all, chronic changes in the intestinal mucosa, can lead to increased permeability. One then speaks of a leaky gut, a permeable intestine.

The body is now confronted with a multitude of burdening and poisoning foreign substances, which it has to deal with as quickly as possible. Insidious infections, which often go unnoticed for a long time, can be a possible trigger for many secondary diseases.

In a leaky gut, the mucus of the intestinal mucosa becomes growingly thinner and more permeable to pests and viruses. This is not considered a disease, but is another risk factor for increased susceptibility to infection. Increased inflammatory signals are triggered in the body, which can cause chronic inflammation.

What warning signals indicate impaired function of the intestinal mucosa?

In addition to gastrointestinal complaints, there are also proven links to immune deficiency, food intolerances, allergies, diabetes or even rheumatism.

PMA-zeolite as protection and repair for the intestine

New findings confirm that the intestinal mucosa is essential for healthy intestinal flora. The PMA-zeolite in PANACEO MED-DARM REPAIR can be used to protect and repair the intestinal mucosa. Inflammations can be relieved and harmful substances can be removed with the stool. It also has a positive effect on the intestinal flora.

Harmful substances out, health in - and double support for the immune system

Only if the intestinal mucosa and the intestinal flora are intact can other vital substances, such as vitamins and trace elements that support the immune system, be sufficiently absorbed by the organism.

Vitamin C and zinc, as well as the high-quality cistus extract as in the product Green Health IMMUN- AKTIV PLUS, for example, provide additional support for the immune system in the form of important vital substances.

In addition to these health-promoting measures, however, a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet and sufficient exercise is essential for our immune system.
