Immune aging. Currently, immune aging is recognized as a serious threat to the health of people, including the elderly. Doctors today treat each disease or unhealthy condition separately. This approach fails to correct the underlying mechanism of both disease and aging, leading to the next health problem over time. After studying the causes of immune aging, scientists have identified two botanicals that can provide powerful, complementary restorative properties that strengthen the two main branches of the immune system through unique mechanisms. ● Cistanche primarily targets the adaptive immune system, a specialized branch of the system that enhances the immune response tailored to specific pathogens, while providing longer lasting protection. ● Reishi (Reishi) or Ganoderma lucidum - a medicinal mushroom, has a strong enhancement, mainly on the innate immune system, a component of the first line of the immune system that attacks foreign pathogens, including bacterial organisms, cells infected with viruses, and those that turn into malignant cells. Aging in humans requires robust function of both adaptive and innate immunity to stay protected from infection, cancer, and inflammatory disease. Together, these bioactive agents, Cistanche and Reishi, work in different ways to rejuvenate both major weapons of a weakening and / or aging immune system. ● Reishi: strengthening innate immunity. Enhancing adaptive immunity is only half of the history of managing immune aging. To have a strong immune system, an active innate immune response is also required to fully identify and eliminate threats from infections, cancers and inflammation out of control. Without a strong, nonspecific innate immunity response, the body will not have time to develop the adaptive immunity necessary to destroy new threats. The Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) is well known in traditional Asian folk medicine with several uses to promote health and longevity. Reishi extracts strengthen the innate immune system by enhancing the functions of its components to prevent premature aging and death. This has been shown in a study of healthy adult mice. At one year of age (mean age for mice), animals were fed either a control meal without additives or a meal enriched with Reishi extracts. At 88 weeks of age, the median age of survivors (when half of the animals in each group died) was 66 days longer in Reishi mice than in control animals. At the time when only 20% of the mice survived, the Reishi supplemented mice were, on average, 110 days older than the control mice. When only 10% survived, the animals added by Reishi were 148 days older or more than the non-Reishi control group. In other words, it took significantly longer for the Reishi-augmented mice to be negatively impacted by the effects of aging. The bottom line is that the surviving mice that took the Reishi were older than their non-Reishi peers.
