The immune system is made up of cells, tissues and organs that act in the organism’s defense against the harmful effects of external microorganisms. The supplements indicated for immunity act as strengthening agents of this system, increasing the antibodies production and, consequently, its defense activity.
Ginseng can strengthen the immune system. Studies suggest that daily consumption of ginseng may increase the chances of cure in surgical patients and their quality of life. They also note that its consumption increases the effect of vaccines against diseases such as influenza, functioning as an immunostimulant. Ginsenosides act on macrophages, cells of the immune system, performing their immunomodulation.
