Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4
Interleukins are a group of cytokines (signaling molecules) that play key roles in the regulation of immune and lymphatic system functions. There is substantial scientific validation for their use in supporting the lymphatic body system, particularly in clinical and research settings. Interleukins, such as IL-2, IL-7, and IL-15, have been shown to influence the growth, differentiation, and activation of lymphocytes, which are central to lymphatic and immune responses. For example, recombinant Interleukin-2 (IL-2) has been used therapeutically to stimulate the proliferation of T cells in certain cancers (such as metastatic melanoma and renal cell carcinoma), effectively enhancing the body's lymphatic and immune responses. IL-7 is crucial for lymphocyte development and homeostasis, and IL-15 supports the survival and proliferation of natural killer cells and memory T cells. The clinical use of interleukins is highly regulated due to potential side effects and is generally reserved for specific medical indications rather than for general wellness or dietary supplementation. The evidence base for these uses is robust, as demonstrated in numerous peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials. However, interleukins are not used in over-the-counter products for general lymphatic support; their application is primarily within the context of targeted immunotherapy.
