Levain – effective assistance to your immunity

In spring, the body’s defenses weaken. Why does this happen? Immunity is a flexible regulatory system, which is liable to constant fluctuations, including seasonal ones.

During springtime, due to changes in the biological clock and circadian rhythms, the hormonal background is restructured and the activity of genes affecting the immune system changes. In the cold season (early spring is rarely warm), the activity of inflammatory mediators increases. In addition, the body has to constantly repel attacks of pathogenic microorganisms. All this changes the nature of the immune response and requires attention to those diseases that are associated with its disorders.

Chronic diseases have an extremely negative impact on the immune system. Diabetes mellitus, chronic diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, allergic diseases lead to the development of various dysfunctions of the immune system. Even frequent colds that follow one after another can cause subsequent changes in innate immunity.

Functioning of our immune system is closely related to the nervous and endocrine systems. In case of frequent and long-term stress the excess cortisol is formed in the body. It negatively affects the immune system. That's why negative emotions increase susceptibility to viral infections, and people prone to depression are more likely to get respiratory illnesses

Therefore, it is very important to take care of prevention of respiratory diseases and support of immunity, i.e. adapt it to the new season and new weather conditions.

The knowledge of healing plants, restoring strength, health and prolonging life has come to us from folk medicine to the medicine of the present day. These plants increase the body’s resistance to various influencing factors. They are able to activate the slumbering forces in the body in different ways and its adaptic reserve. This group of plants, each of which is a whole factory of biologically active compounds, was called "adaptogens" (from lat. adaptatio - adaptation).

Adaptogens contain powerful antioxidants protecting cells from damage by free radicals, improve the functioning of the cardiovascular system, increase oxygen supply to tissues, enhance the synthesis of proteins and other substances responsible for “repair damage” in the body.

The effects of adaptogens in the body occur due to the gentle action of sympathetic section of the central nervous system. These substances mildly and reversibly activate the sympathetic centers of the posterior hypothalamus possessing a tonic effect on the cerebral cortex. Unlike stimulants accelerating the output of mediators in the cerebrum and overstraining the nervous system, adaptogens don’t provide an exhausting effect on the body. They possess the ability to extend the resistance stage, i.e. organism insensitivity arising from exposure to a stressor and postpone or exclude altogether the third stage of stress – exhaustion (H. Selye theory, 1979).

It is worth mentioning that hematopoiesis is activated under the influence of adaptogens, hence this will result in increase in total number of immunocompetent cells. Both cell and humoral immune links are activated. In addition to this, adaptogens stimulate the production of interferons – specific mediators responsible for antitumor immunity, slowing the growth and reproduction of cancer cells.

Thus, a complex preparation Levain was created specifically to improve the work of the circulatory, central nervous and immune systems. It contains nine most-effective and well-studied adaptogens, including eleutherococcus, licorice, chinese lemongrass, leuzea safflower, willow herb, great plaintain, hypericum perforatum, amaranth, rhodiola rosea.

Levain effectively mobilizes the body’s defenses, increases physical and intellectual working capacity, prevents stress-induced functional disorders. The preparation removes lethargy, drowsiness, irritability and other symptoms associated with autonomic dysfunction. In addition to immunomodulatory and anti-stress effects, Levain improves blood circulation and reduces the risk of disease related to the lymphatic system, improves lipid metabolism. Levain is an effective antioxidant and detoxicant agent.

The adaptogens included in the composition of Levain exert antioxidant action –they increase the activity of superoxide dismutase, reduces the level of free radicals and macromolecule peroxidation. They also contribute to excretion of the salts of heavy metals from the body in case of poisoning, help strengthen the walls of blood vessels and prevent the development of atherosclerosis. The adaptogens possess a pronounced anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effect.

Thus, due to complex multicomponent composition, Levain has a wide spectrum of action in the prevention of various diseases. On the background of taking the drug well-being improves, sleep is normalized, a feeling of recharged vitality appears and memory is improved.

The main benefit of Levain is that its regular intake isn’t accompanied by addiction or withdrawal syndrome: decline in strength after termination of action. It effectively increases adaptive capabilities of the body in extreme circumstances and weakens the effects of stress reactions.

The preparation is effective at preventing acute respiratory diseases, increasing nonspecific resistance of the organism during the off-season, in physical and mental exhaustion, stress and asthenic syndrome, conditions after infectious and somatic diseases, professional activity involving frequent business trips, night shifts, when changing climatic conditions and time zones, as well as a part of treatment of oncological patients with various localization and stage of the process.

Directions for use:

Levain is recommended to be taken 1 capsule in the first half of the day. The course duration is 1 month. If necessary, the course can be repeated.
