Immunoglobulins are antibodies.

Antibodies stick to things they recognise - each antibody only recognises one thing. When they stick to those things, they act as little flags and alarm bells, attracting other cells to attack what they're stuck to.

A couple of things affect how fast they can help fight against something:

- the amount of immunoglobulins/antibodies - the more you have, the faster one will come in contact with the bad stuff, and the faster other cells will be called over to it.

- how many of those other cells are actually around to be called over

Immunoglobulins themselves don't actually have a response time - it's like a magnet: there's not really a response time for that, it's just attracted whenever there's something nearby for it to be attracted to.

It depends on the person and just how weak the immune system is. Antitoxidants are excellent to boost the immune system.
