Immunity (1)

The body’s immune response is of great importance for our health and well-being. Two decisive functions are to be emphasized here:

1) The defence system can eliminate and destroy foreign substances and microorganisms that have entered the body.

2) It can also destroy the body’s cells that have become defective. This protects us from degenerated cells, which are characteristic of cancer.

Amino acids perform a variety of functions in the organism. Among others, especially the proteinogenic amino acids are the building materials of our body.

The protein building blocks also function as messenger substances, as precursors of other building blocks and other important substances.

It is particularly important that we supply our body with the essential protein building blocks. Some of the building blocks are particularly important for the defence systems in the human body.

Research found that a good supply of amino acids and important micronutrients such as vitamins C and D can have a positive effect on the strength of our immune system.
