Which nutrients are important for health and especially the immune system? Zinc and vitamin C may immediately come to mind, but proteins? Probably not. In this video you will certainly experience one or two AHA moments. I show you which nutrients are important and which ones I always pay attention to. #strengthenimmunesystem #vitaminc #zinc #selenium #health ⏩ First inform yourself, then supplement: Feel free to take a look at my guides https://bit.ly/RatgeberHowTo ✅ ❎ 100% independent ❎ 100% study-based ❎ 100% medically correct Important basics for the immune system In order for our immune system to work efficiently, it needs the right minerals, vitamins, etc. Otherwise the various immune cells cannot perform their task optimally. Immune nutrient #1: Iron Iron is not only important for oxygen transport, but also essential for the immune system. It regulates the activity of NK cells and plays a role in the activation of specific cytokines, as has been shown in various studies. Immune Nutrient #2: Folic Acid Folic acid, a man-made variant of folate, is essential for cell division and new cell formation. A deficiency impairs the immune system and can reduce the proliferation of certain immune cells and the response of certain antibodies. Immune Nutrient #3: Copper Copper is often overlooked, but crucial for blood formation, oxygen transport and energy metabolism. It is also an important factor in the effectiveness of immune cells. Immune Nutrient #4: Magnesium Magnesium not only supports muscle contraction and stimulus transmission, but is also involved in many immune processes, including the formation of antibodies and immune cells. Immune Nutrient #5: Omega-3 Fatty Acids Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the activation of immune cells and promote the destruction of pathogens by macrophages and neutrophils. Immune Nutrient #6: Proteins Proteins are not only important for building muscle, they also form the basis for immune cells and provide energy. The amino acid L-glutamine in particular plays a crucial role in this process. Immune nutrient #7: Selenium Selenium is a key factor in regulating the immune system and strengthens the defense against infections. Immune nutrient #8: Vitamin A Vitamin A supports the growth of cells and the maintenance of skin and connective tissue, which is crucial for an intact immune defense. Immune nutrient #9: Vitamin B12 The intake of vitamin B12 is particularly important for vegans, as it influences the normal function of the immune system. Immune nutrient #10: Vitamin C Vitamin C is an antioxidant and plays a crucial role in the proliferation and development of immune cells. Immune nutrient #11: Vitamin D Vitamin D regulates many metabolic processes and directly influences the immune system by controlling the formation of cytokines. Immune nutrient #12: Vitamin E Like vitamin C, vitamin E also has an antioxidant effect and regulates the function of T cells in the immune system. Immune nutrient #13: Zinc Zinc influences the formation of immune cells and regulates various immune processes, but excessive intake can have negative effects.
