Immune System Supplements: The Why and The HowThis may not come as a surprise, but...you need immune system supplements for one reason - you aren't getting enough of the right nutrients in your diet to adequately support your immune system.Let's start at the very beginning... When I went to college and grad school, I learned that cells were smooth and round, that was until the electron microscope was invented. Then we were able to see things, that is, very small things, that had never been seen before. Guess what? For the first time ever, scientists and researchers saw that the cell was not a round ball, with a smooth surface after all! The surface was covered by tons of tiny hair like structures called glycoproteins. A cotton ball is a good visual of what a cell and its surface really looks like. 
These glycoproteins (just means sugar molecules attached to a protein), are critical for high speed cell to cell communication.
Finally, we now knew the way cells transfer information to each other. Here are a few of the messages that might be communicated:
The important thing to know is that there are 8 sugars that are used in various combinations to make up the extensive vocabulary of our cells. Imagine trying to communicate without the letter A. Chaos would result. Here's another surprise. Sugar's function had been underrated. I was taught that its only role was for producing energy in the form of calories. The problem is that we are only getting an abundance of 2 of these 8 sugars (glucose and galactose). The other six are almost nonexistent anymore. Much like in the braille language, if one or two bumps were missing, communication would break down. The same is true with cellular communication, when even one sugar is missing the cells cannot communicate their needs. Optimal cellular communication is not taking place in your cells. The result is an immune system that is weak and doesn't function in the way it is designed. The solution is to take immune system supplements that provide a blend of these sugars.
