What is immunity?

Immunity helps prevent illness. Your immune system identifies potentially harmful microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and viruses and mounts a defense. Special cells produce antibodies that target the intruder and destroy it.

If you’ve had an illness once, your immune system stores a blueprint of the antibodies it created so it can reproduce them swiftly should you suffer exposure to the same infection in the future.

Immunizations use this principle, triggering your immune system to create the right antibodies without exposing you to dangerous bacteria or viruses.

What can reduce immunity?

Many things can affect your immunity, including:

Age

Infants receive immunity before birth, but children are generally more susceptible to infections because they haven’t had time to develop a diverse immune response. Your immune system may decline as you age, making you more vulnerable to infection.

Medication

Autoimmune diseases arise when the immune system reacts to healthy cells in your body as though they were harmful and destroys them. If you take immunosuppressant medications, it may ease your symptoms but reduce your immunity. 

Lifestyle

An unhealthy lifestyle has multiple health effects, including reduced immunity. Smoking, stress, and excessive alcohol consumption damage cells and tissues, and lack of exercise reduce oxygen and nutrient delivery to organs and tissues. Without the proper nutrients your body needs, every system suffers, including immunity.

How do I boost immunity?

Newregen offers a range of treatments to boost immunity, including:

• Intravenous (IV) therapy
• NAD therapy
• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
• Peptide therapy

Peptides include thymosin alpha-1 and LL-37 (cathelicidin), which control immunity and inflammation. They have antifungal and antibacterial properties and improve autoimmune function. 

Additional benefits include improving chronic fatigue, suppressing tumor growth, protecting against oxidative cell damage, increasing vaccine effectiveness, and helping eliminate unhealthy cells.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy relies on a special chamber that allows you to breathe in concentrated levels of oxygen, which helps your body heal tissues and help white blood cells fight off infection.
