Study: Vitamin A is Essential for the Immune System; The CBCD Reviews the Study

“Understanding how vitamin A controls immunity will help … heighten host resistance to infectious disease. (1)

The CBCD believes in healthy vitamin supplementation. The Center also recommends taking Gene-Eden-VIR or Novirin.
— Greg Bennett, CBCD
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, March 31, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ --


“Infected with a latent virus such as herpes, HPV, EBV, CMV, or HCV? The CBCD, which conducted two separate post-marketing clinical studies on the natural, antiviral formula of Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin, recommends taking these remedies against latent viruses.” - Greg Bennett, CBCD

Vitamin A is essential for a healthy immune system. Dr. Brown and colleagues wrote that “The importance of vitamin A for host defense is undeniable and the study of its mechanisms is paramount.” (1) Dr. Brown and colleagues are from the Division of Transplantation Immunology and Mucosal Biology, Kings College London, United Kingdom. Another recent study showed that “gestational or early-life vitamin A deficiency decreases the number of immune cells in offspring.” (See PLoS One, from December 2014) (2) The Harvard Medical School agrees with these scientists. “Experts have long known that vitamin A plays a role in infection and maintaining mucosal surfaces by influencing certain subcategories of T cells and B cells (types of immune cells) and cytokines. Vitamin A deficiency is associated with impaired immunity and increased risk of infectious disease.” (See Harvard Health Publications) (3)

Research suggests that vitamin A is antiviral, with one study noting that “Recent clinical trials suggest that vitamin A supplementation reduces morbidity and mortality in different infectious diseases, such as measles, diarrhoeal disease, measles-related pneumonia, (and) human immunodeficiency virus infection.” (See The Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, from 1999) (4)

“It’s clear that the evidence points to the body’s need for vitamin A. Because the CBCD believes in a comprehensive, positive blend of natural and Western medicines, we recommend vitamin supplementation. We also recommend taking Novirin against viruses in the latent form.” - Greg Bennett, CBCD

The formula of Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin was tested by Hanan Polansky and Edan Itzkovitz from the CBCD in two clinical studies that followed FDA guidelines. The studies showed that the formula of Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR is effective against a broad range of latent viruses. The clinical studies were published in the peer reviewed, medical journal Pharmacology & Pharmacy, the first, in a special edition on Advances in Antiviral Drugs. Study authors wrote that, “individuals infected with (a latent virus) … reported a safe decrease in their symptoms following treatment…” (5) The study authors also wrote that, “we observed a statistically significant decrease in the severity, duration, and frequency of symptoms.” (5)

Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin are natural antiviral dietary supplements. Their formula contains five natural ingredients: Selenium, Camellia Sinesis Extract, Quercetin, Cinnamomum Extract, and Licorice Extract. The first ingredient is a trace element, and the other four are plant extracts. Each ingredient and its dose were chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists at polyDNA, the company that invented and patented the formula, scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals, and identified the safest and most effective natural ingredients against latent viruses.

To date, Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin are the only natural antiviral products on the market with published clinical studies that support their claims. Note: Novirin has the same formula as Gene-Eden-VIR. However, it contains higher quality and more expensive ingredients.

It is important to remember that “Two different types of vitamin A are found in the diet. Preformed vitamin A is found in animal products such as meat, fish, poultry and dairy foods. The other type, pro-vitamin A is found in plant-based foods such as fruits and vegetables. The most common type of pro-vitamin A is beta-carotene. Vitamin A is also available in dietary supplements, usually in the form of retinyl acetate or retinyl palmitate (preformed vitamin A), beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A) or a combination of preformed and pro-vitamin A.” (See Medline Plus, last updated February 18, 2013) (6)

The CBCD reminds the public that it is possible to take too much vitamin A. In the right amounts, vitamin A helps the immune system. However, it is possible to overdose, which can cause toxic effects. “Acute vitamin A poisoning usually occurs when an adult takes several hundred thousand IUs of vitamin A. Symptoms of chronic vitamin A poisoning may occur in adults who regularly take more than 25,000 IU a day. Babies and children are more sensitive to vitamin A, and can become sick after taking smaller doses of vitamin A or vitamin A-containing products such as retinol (found in skin creams). Large amounts of beta-carotene will not make you sick. However, increased amounts of beta-carotene can turn the skin yellow or orange. The skin color will return to normal once you reduce your intake of beta-carotene.” (6)

The CBCD believes in healthy vitamin supplementation. “The best way to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins is to eat a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, fortified dairy foods, legumes (dried beans), lentils, and whole grains.” (6) The Center also recommends taking Novirin to help the immune system safely and effectively target latent viruses that cause many major diseases.
