Trip down the aisles of the recent Natural Products Expo, and you will quickly note the rising "buzz"? around immune system health.
Health status is a reflection of immunity status; the stronger the immune system, generally, the better your health. Weaken the immune system and you are susceptible to illness. Recurring infections, fatigue, inflammation, allergic responses, chronic diarrhea and slow wound healing are some signs of an impaired immune system. Factors that impact immune status may include poor nutrition, environmental pollutants, stress and overuse of antibiotics.
