IMPORTANT: Interferons are proteins that the body produces when a virus enters it. The medicinal preparation, in question, helps activate the body's production of protective proteins.

In 1957, virologists A. Isaac and D. Lindeman discovered an amazing protective mechanism that is included in the cells of the body at the time of infection of one of them. This mechanism is "prescribed" at the genetic level. When one of the cells is infected with a virus, it produces special protein molecules( interferons).These molecules enter neighboring cells and make them immune to the virus.

Human leukocyte interferon is a protective protein that, when ingested, helps the immune system and fights painful viruses.

Tips and Reviews

Oleg. A good tool. I noticed that if you start using it at the first signs of the disease in time, you can quickly put yourself on your feet. Last two times recovered in 2-3 days. I advise everyone.

Ilona. Immunomodulators are certainly good, but I often would not recommend using them. Our body is "lazy" and if it sees that someone is working for it, it immediately starts hacking. This applies to the immune system. Therefore, you need to weigh the pros and cons when taking this medication. Yes, during the flu epidemic, it is better to use Interferon after all. But, in all other cases the body must fight by itself.
