Abstract
This review examines the critical role of micronutrients in modulating immune function and inflammation. Micronutrients such as vitamins (e.g., vitamin C, vitamin D) and minerals (e.g., zinc, selenium) play essential roles in various immune processes, including immune cell development, differentiation, and response to pathogens. Deficiencies or suboptimal levels of these micronutrients can compromise immune function, leading to increased susceptibility to infections and chronic inflammation. Conversely, adequate intake of micronutrients supports optimal immune function, enhances immune cell activity, and helps regulate inflammatory responses. This paper synthesizes current research findings on how specific micronutrients influence immune responses and inflammation pathways, highlighting their potential therapeutic implications in managing immune-related disorders and promoting overall health.
