The immune system consists of the bone marrow, thymus, lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, appendix, Peyer’s patches, lymphatic vessels and various immune chemicals. The most important task of the immune system is to defend and rid the body of invading pollutants, viruses and bacteria.

When the immune system malfunctions, we will be unable to defend ourselves against many diseases. An overactive immune system, for example, producing excess IgE antibodies that may cause skin allergy, hay fever and so on. When the immune system is weak or not strong enough, we can succumb to cancer or infectious diseases such as SARS and other viral or bacterial infections. Autoimmune diseases such as arthritis and lupus erythematosus are caused by the immune system’s inability to differentiate self from non-self antigens.

ACT is specially formulated to nourish the immune system so that it can defend the body against diseases.
