Elderly adults who take mineral supplements containing zinc and increased amounts of vitamin C and multivitamin on a daily basis have been found to experience sickness for a very short-term that too with less severity. According to the researchers from the Oregon State University, the study is available in the journal Nutrients explains the effects of the supplements on the specific immune system indicators. The presence of zinc and vitamin C and D in the bloodstream is found to increase; these micronutrients have a huge impact on the immune function. Likewise, the supplements are found to increase the ability of the immune indicators together with white blood cells to kill pathogens.
The consumption of multivitamin by the older adults showed an increase in the level of zinc and vitamin C in the blood and thereby, keeps illness at bay. It thus paves way for including multivitamin and mineral supplements in the medication of adults to help them stay strong and healthy. Generally, as we age the deficiencies of mineral and vitamin are found to increase which increases the risks of immune system deficiencies related with age. Studies have shown the majority of the people across the globe have more than one micronutrient deficiency.
The weakening of the immune system leads to the onset of inflammation, low innate immune function, and poor T-cell function. Moreover, the multiple nutrients are found to support immune function thereby benefiting the older adults on a large scale. These inexpensive and easily available products is projected to help stay strong and ill-free. More designed and better research is required to help explore the positive role multivitamin and mineral supplementation in boosting the immune system of elderly adults.
