Free radicals are unstable compounds formed in the body during metabolism and exposure to environmental sources such as pollution and cigarette smoke. Free radicals are necessary for energy metabolism and immune function, but when excessive free radicals are formed, they can attack healthy cells, particularly the lipids and proteins in their membranes. This, in turn, is thought to affect several bodily processes, including optimal immune system function. Elderberry and blueberry extracts provide anthocyanins, important antioxidants that protect healthy cells from damage caused by oxidation and free radicals. Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of beta-carotene for normal immune function. Beta-carotene's beneficial effects on the immune system are due to its role as a precursor to vitamin A, which stimulates the production of immune cells. Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in most major metabolic pathways. Several other studies also confirm the fundamental role of zinc in promoting normal immune responses in humans. Immune cells must be able to divide rapidly to respond to daily challenges, and they depend on adequate amounts of dietary zinc to support their development. Healthy immune function can also be maintained by promoting a well-balanced production of cytokines. However, low zinc levels lead to decreased immune responses, including reduced production of cytokines that target intracellular bacteria.
