This short video explains the importance of a balanced immune response, as opposed to a "Boosted" or "Suppressed" immune response.

Hyperimmune egg, or i26 (formerly immune26) is a completely safe and effective dietary supplement for modulating immune response. It is manufactured from natural egg protein and can make major differences in the health and well being of individuals consuming 1-3 servings a day.

The 3D medical animation shows how antibodies stop harmful pathogens from attaching themselves to healthy cells in the blood stream. The animation begins by showing normal red and white blood cells flowing through the blood stream. Next, a single pathogen appears onscreen slowly moving toward its destination on the surface of a cell. The tubular extensions on the pathogen are surface proteins which attach to corresponding surface proteins on a white blood cell, or leukocyte. As the animation continues, more pathogens continue to attach to the white blood cell, rendering it ineffective.

During the immune system response, Y-shaped antibodies begin attacking the pathogen, binding to its surface proteins as the pathogen attempts to anchor to the blood cell. The antibodies completely block the pathogen from attaching to the blood cell, "tagging" the pathogen so that one of the immune system's leaner cells, a macrophage, appears
onscreen to engulf and digest the pathogen.
