First of all, we know that the organism has a defence against viral infections in the form of the cells that belong to the immune system (macrophages, natural killer cells), which destroy viruses by ingesting and digesting them. Furthermore, other immune system cells (B lymphocytes) make antibodies against viruses to prevent contact with the cells that lead to infection. Various nutrients are necessary to ensure that the immune system’s cells function properly. read more
