What role does the immune system play in human health?
The immune system is composed of many interdependent cell types that collectively protect the body from bacterial, parasitic, fungal and viral infections as well as from the growth of tumor cells. Since the immune system is responsible for balancing pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses, an improper immune response can lead not only to colds and influenza, but also to more than 100 health conditions that have been linked to compromised immune function such as: allergies, joint health, autoimmune conditions, cellular health, respiratory conditions and cardiovascular health.
