Your immune system requires proper nutrition to function optimally. Protein and specific micronutrients play critical roles in immune defense.
Protein and Immune Function
Protein deficiency rapidly impairs immune function. Adequate protein intake is essential for:
- Antibody production (immunoglobulins)
- Immune cell proliferation
- Cytokine synthesis
- Acute phase protein response
Recommendation: 1.0-1.2g protein per kg body weight for immune support
Key Immune-Supporting Nutrients
Vitamin C:
- Supports white blood cell function
- Powerful antioxidant
- Dosage: 500-1,000mg daily
Vitamin D:
- Modulates immune response
- Reduces infection risk
- Dosage: 1,000-2,000 IU daily
Zinc:
- Essential for T-cell development
- Anti-viral properties
- Dosage: 15-30mg daily
Protein:
- Provides amino acids for immune cells
- Supports antibody production
- Dosage: 20-30g per serving
