What you need to know

  • Around age 60, physiological changes decimate our ability to combat infections and malignancies.

  • Immune senescence is a leading cause of disability and death in aging humans.

  • Nutrients that boost immune activity include zinc, DHEA, and fish oil.

  • Immune imbalance occurs when our immune system fails to protect against new infections and instead generates inflammatory reactions (including increased IL-6) that attack every cell in our body.

  • The herb Cistanche helps combat immune senescence, which appears to have rejuvenating effects on bone marrow.

  • Supplementation with Cistanche has been shown to increase naïve T cells and natural killer (NK) cells while decreasing memory T cells and pro-inflammatory IL-6.
