Functions
Xtra-Cell Immunity is manufactured and purified via a patented† low temperature process that involves homogenization, fractionation, and ultrafiltration of porcine thymus, liver and spleen tissues. The molecules present in this product are selected based on their size and molecular weight (less than 50,000 Daltons), and are isolated in their native state. Once the molecules are selected, the liquid is aseptically bottled and flash-frozen without preservatives to ensure optimal potency, freshness and bioavailability. This process can be applied to different starting materials, allowing for the creation of liquid extracts that are targeted for specific applications. The extracts created from these three tissues are highly bioavailable and of the highest quality available.
Liver
As the body’s main detoxification organ, the liver is responsible for removing all potentially detrimental molecules such as alcohol, drugs and air pollutants from the blood stream. The liver also plays important roles in the synthesis of bile, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and production of certain coagulation factors, among its other roles. What is not as well known is that the liver also plays a role in maintaining healthy immune function, as Kupffer cells found within the liver have the ability to modulate immune function. The signaling factors present in Xtra-Cell Immunity can help to support the regenerative and immune functions of the liver.
Spleen
The spleen is the largest lymphatic organ and is responsible among other things for trapping and eliminating blood-born pathogens. Consequently, the spleen plays a major role in the healthy functioning of the immune system. Xtra-Cell Immunity provides spleen specific cell signaling factors and bioactive peptides to support the healthy functioning of the spleen.
Thymus
The thymus is integral in the maturation and maintenance of the immune system. It functions by releasing thymic factors that affect its own regulation as well as the functions of other cells throughout the body. These thymic factors (including but not limited to thymosins, thymopoietin, thymic factor X, and serum thymic factor) tend to reach their peak at puberty and decline with age. These peptides are important for the healthy maturation and activation of T lymphocytes, which can in turn activate B-lymphocytes and macrophages and contribute to a healthy immune system .* Supplementing with extracts that provide thymic factors may help maintaining normal immune function. As shown in figure 1, Xtra-Cell Thymus extract has been shown to support healthy immune cell activity.
Indications
Xtra-Cell Immunity may be a useful dietary supplement for those who wish to support the healthy functioning of the immune system.
