Role of vitamins and minerals in immunity
A scoping review
Keywords:
Nutrition, Immunity, Vitamins, MineralsAbstract
Immune system is defined as the variety of cells and molecules that have involved in protecting humans/animals from the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms/antigens. The immune system structures; thymus spleen, lymph nodes and specific immunity cells which plays a major role in the immune mechanism. This review paper describes the various effects of micro and macro nutrients on the immune system of the human body.
