WALD IMMUN pediatric +3 Description Food supplement based on lactoferrin, colostrum, zinc and vitamin D3 useful for providing an additional amount of these components to the daily diet. The immune system is an important defense against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. It is composed of both organs and cells responsible for these defenses. The main organs are the spleen, the various encapsulated and non-encapsulated lymph nodes, and the lymphatic systems. The most important cells are lymphocytes, which can recognize and attack pathogens both directly and through the production of antibodies (immunoglobulins). The defenses of the respiratory tract, especially those of the upper airways, are primarily managed by a non-encapsulated lymph node system, the Waldeyers lymphatic ring. This ring consists of lymphoid tissue surrounding the choanae and the isthmus of the fauces and consists of a closed line that runs from the pharyngeal tonsil, down on both sides to the tubal tonsils, the palatine tonsils, or tonsil lobe, and finally ends at the lingual tonsil. The Waldimmun product is able to guarantee nutrients that physiologically control the homeostasis of the immune system, also acting on the Waldeyers ring. Composition: a) Lactoferrin: Lactoferrin, also called lactoferrin or lactotransferrin, is a multifunctional glycoprotein. It is considered one of the most important factors in natural immunity, as it has a broad spectrum of biological activities. Lactoferrin is a major component of innate immunity, but it also participates in specific immune responses, making its supplementation useful for strengthening the immune system. b) colostrum 30% IgG: Colostrum is the first secretion of the mammalian mammary gland. It is therefore the first true immunomodulatory food the gastrointestinal tract comes into contact with, capable of promoting the development of lymphocytes, immunoglobulins of types G and A (macrophages, and cytokines). The bovine colostrum used has a qualitative composition very similar to human colostrum, but is richer in immune factors. The colostrum in Waldimmun has a certified IgG content. The strict controls it undergoes throughout the supply chain guarantee the absence of contaminants and qualify it as a safe and well-tolerated ingredient; c) Vitamin D3: Calciferol is 50–100 times more active than vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). A hormone-like substance, it is essential for calcium metabolism and immune system regulation, interacting positively with both the innate and adaptive components of the immune system. Vitamin D is essential for the proper development and health of our bones. Vitamin D can be considered an ally of our immune system. Considering that low levels of this vitamin are associated with impaired immune response, especially in the airways, it is advisable to maintain normal blood levels through both a healthy diet and appropriate supplementation. d) Zinc gluconate: Zinc is essential for the normal functioning of the immune system. The gluconate form is used because the Zn bound to the gluconate molecule is more easily absorbed. With sweetener. Chocolate flavor.
