What is lupus?

Lupus, is a chronic autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease occurs when the body “gets confused” and attacks itself. As viruses, bacteria or other toxins enter the body, sometimes the immune system accidentally attacks healthy tissue or cells. The causes for this phenomenon are unclear but experts agree that smoking, exposure to toxins, obesity, medications, and/or infections can be linked to autoimmune disease.

Lupus can cause inflammation and/or pain in any part of the body. It can affect any of the body’s organs but most commonly affects the joints, skin, and kidneys. Some symptoms include extreme fatigue, joint pain, hair loss, photosensitivity (sensitivity to light), oral/nasal ulcers, or a butterfly rash, which is a rash that spreads across the face typically in a butterfly shape. It’s important to remember that there is no one first sign or specific symptom, as these vary from person to person.

Types

• systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (lupus in general, affecting different organs)
• lupus nephritis (lupus of the kidneys)
• neuropsychiatric lupus (lupus involving the brain)
• drug-induced lupus (lupus induced from medications)
• cutaneous lupus (lupus affecting the skin)

How can StemImmune help when dealing with lupus?

StemImmune is an immune system support and antioxidant booster. One of the most powerful ingredients in StemImmune is organic amla berry. Amla’s stabilizing and protective nature is used to help prevent and treat damage associated with connective tissue disorders and autoimmune-based conditions.

The ingredients in StemImmune are naturally anti-inflammatory, such as cloves, sumac bran flower, cinammon, sorghum seed, oregano and turmeric. Additionally, StemImmune contains vitamin D3 and vitamin K2. The vitamin K2 helps the body better absorb the vitamin D3. Our vitamin D3 is sourced from algae lichen, which is a cleaner vitamin D3 than vitamin D3 that comes from animal sources.
