Research and Information on VacciShield and its ingredients






                                


L-Glutamine is an amino acid that comes from protein.  L-Glutamine is found in breast milk and plays an important role in several metabolic processes.  L-Glutamine is an important precursor to the major detoxification enzyme, glutathione.  L-Glutamine fuels the cells that line the gastrointestinal tract, helping to maintain a healthy digestive tract. Recent studies in 2005 and 2007 showed that L-Glutamine improved intestinal barrier function in children ages 2 months to 6 years old.
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that line the gastrointestinal tract.  They help reduce the growth of harmful bacteria and promote a healthy digestive tract.  The probiotics in VacciShield were specifically chosen for their effectiveness and tolerance in infants and children.  Certain strains of probiotics can produce a form of lactic acid that is not metabolized by infants and small children.  The probiotics in VacciShield were chosen based on scientific literature documenting their safety for infants and children as well as their ability to support immune, gastrointestinal and detoxification function in infants and children.  In 2010, research demonstrated that probiotics increased the immune response in infants to vaccination.

Zinc has been shown in research to support brain, immune, detoxification and gastrointestinal function in a growing child. Zinc is an essential mineral that is necessary in hundreds of metabolic processes. Zinc helps maintain a healthy immune system as well as healthy growth and development.  Research in 2009 highlighted zinc's ability to enhance infants immune response to vaccination as measured through immune titers.

Vitamin C
has also been shown in clinical trials support immune, brain, detoxification and gastrointestinal function in a growing child. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the body from free radical damage. Vitamin C is also necessary to hundreds of metabolic processes
.  Research out of Australia suggests Vitamin C may reduce vaccine side effects.



Vitamin D3
has hormone like actions by binding to DNA receptors and promoting cell growth. Research highlights the vital role Vitamin D3 plays in maintaining healthy immune, brain, gastrointestinal and detoxification function.  Recent research shows vitamin D3 assists in the immune response to vaccination.


Selenium
has been shown to be a necessary component of detoxification pathways as well as immune function.  Selenium is an important precursor to the major detoxification enzyme, glutathione peroxidase.  Research with selenium and the polio vaccine shows how important selenium is in the handling of vaccines and immune function.


Vitamin E
is a powerful antioxidant that helps decrease the damage inflicted by free radicals in the body. There is also research demonstrating vitamin E's ability to support healthy immune and brain function.  Recent research in 2011 demonstrates how vitamin E increases the immune response to the tetanus vaccine.



Choline and Inositol 
work together as primary sources of a healthy cell membrane. They help enhance brain development in infants and children.
