Your immune system is your primary defense mechanism that constantly protects you against viruses and bacteria, especially during the cold and flu season. That’s why it’s essential to give the immune system the care it needs – so that in return it can take care of you. 1-2
The immune system is an extremely complex network of organs, cells and molecules that researchers are still working to understand. However, the reasons for having a strong immune system speak for themselves.
Engystol® is an effective medicine that has been shown to have a dual mode of action that boosts your innate immune system and together with its antiviral activity fights off flu-like infections and colds.
It does this by increasing the number and activity of scavenger cells/phagocytes that remove the virus from your respiratory tract, which leads to a reduced inflammatory response. Engystol also stimulates your immune system to produce antiviral compounds, known as interferons that weaken the virus and also play a significant role in regulating immune responses. 3-5
