Immunity is your natural shield and your ability to defend yourself against harmful external factors—viruses, bacteria, fungi, and toxins. Thanks to it, the body is able to identify, neutralize, and eliminate pathogens before they cause serious harm. The immune system plays a vital role in maintaining your well-being, and its proper functioning determines your ability to fight off infections. Especially during the fall and winter, when the number of illnesses increases, it’s worth taking steps to strengthen it. Our selection includes medications and dietary supplements that naturally support the body’s immune system. These products are available over the counter and are worth keeping in your home medicine cabinet.
The body’s immune system can be divided into two main types: innate immunity and adaptive immunity. Both of these mechanisms work together to provide protection against pathogens, but they differ in how they function and how quickly they respond.
Innate immunity is the first line of defense, which activates immediately upon contact with a pathogen. It does not distinguish between specific microorganisms but responds to all of them in a similar way. In contrast, acquired immunity develops over time in response to contact with specific microorganisms. It is more precise and “remembers” pathogens, allowing it to act faster and more effectively the next time it encounters the same threat.
Many factors influence the health of the immune system, including:
