The lymphatic system is a major component of the circulatory system that plays a key role in fluid balance, metabolic waste removal, and immune system function. Stressing the lymphatic system can lead to fluid balance dysregulation, waste buildup, and an impaired immune system.
Lymphatic overload disrupts the body's ability to maintain fluid balance, remove waste, and fight pathogens, which negatively impacts cellular function. This strain on cells can hinder both cognitive and physical performance. Supporting the lymphatic system helps create an optimal internal environment, enhancing cellular function and improving overall performance.
Supplement with Green Tea Extract: Green tea consumption has been shown to support immune function. (source) Green tea contains compounds that stimulate anti-inflammatory cytokines and inhibit excessive T cell proliferation, thereby improving lymphatic overload. (source, source) Recommendation: Supplement with at least 500 mg of green tea extract daily
Supplement with Vitamin D: Vitamin D works through multiple pathways to support homeostasis of the immune system. Vitamin D mediates lymphocyte synthesis, inhibits T cell proliferation, and alters cytokine production. (source, source, source) These actions improve markers of lymphatic overload. Recommendation: Supplement with up to 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily
