- Vitamin C supports the activity of the cells of the immune system and helps to control oxidative stress and inflammation.
- Prebiotics are conventionally known to serve as substrate for probiotic commensal bacteria which release short-chain fatty acids in the intestinal tract along with several other metabolites. Subsequently, they act on the local as well as the systemic immune cells and the gut-associated epithelial cells, primarily through G-protein-coupled receptor-mediated pathways.
- Polyphenols and antioxidants are bioactive compounds which are essential for antibody production, stimulation of phagocytosis, inhibition of activity of proinflammatory cytokines and lymphocyte proliferation. They keep our immune system in surveillance mode and play a key role in enhancing cells involved in both innate and acquired immune response. Scavenging of free radicals is the major mechanism through which they protect the cells of our body from oxidative damage and boost our immunity.
Quercetin: anticancer, chemoprotective, and hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory
Gallic acid: anticancer, antioxidant, anti-allergic, and anti-inflammatory activity
Ellagic acid: anticancer, anti-proliferative, chemoprotective, antioxidant
Anthocyanins: interacts with T-cells and enhance both acquired and innate immune system, ROS scavengers, anti-inflammatory
- Immunomodulatory agents naturally increase the body’s production of messenger molecules, such as cytokines, which mediate and regulate the immune system.
