Vitamins: Key Role Players in Boosting Up Immune Response-A Mini Review

Vitamins perform different functions in our body and to boost up immune response towards pathogens is one of them. Immunity provides protection to life by its three main such as skin, cellular response, and humoral immune response. Both vitamins quality and quantity within the body promote systematic immune processes by regulating Tlymphocytes, antibodies, and cytokines formation. In this review, we will summarize the role of water soluble and fat soluble vitamins to boost up immunity functions. Vitamins A, C, and E mainly aid in enhancing the skin epithelium barrier function. With the exception of vitamin C, all the vitamins are claimed to be essential for antibody production. Most of the vitamins are applied in our body to produce a cell-mediated response with the production of cytokines and T-lymphocytes. Supplementation of the diet with vitamins in specifically selected appropriate quantities routinely can support body’s natural defence mechanism by enhancing the immune response.
