Abstract

The immune system protects the host against pathogenic organisms and acts to ensure tolerance to self to food and environmental components. Bovine milk micronutrients and many nutrients beneficially affect the host immunity. Bovine milk has many components that improve the body immune functions. In addition a significant mass of research now exists investigating the role of probiotic and prebiotic in ameliorating immunity during various intestinal diseases. Vitamins and minerals boost immunity. Micronutrient deficiency suppresses immune function by affecting the innate T-cell mediated immune response and adoptive antibody response. Moreover essential fatty acids and some amino acids have numerous important influences on immune responses. Besides glutathione and nucleotides are important components of immunonutrient mixes. Also in this article an overview of how nutrient-nutrient interaction may affect host immunity was discussed.
