Tag: Vitamin d and immunity

Recent studies in patients with chronic diseases that often cause low white blood cell counts show a high prevalence of co-occurring vitamin D deficiency. This correlation has prompted questions about a direct causal link between low vitamin D and low neutrophil counts, a condition known as neutropenia.

According to a 2022 review, vitamin D is a fundamental immune modulator, and low serum levels are associated with many immune-related conditions. This immunomodulatory role of the vitamin raises a critical question: can low vitamin D affect lymph nodes, which are vital hubs of the immune system?

According to a review of 21 controlled trials, vitamin C may reduce the duration and severity of common cold symptoms, which often include a sore throat. A balanced diet rich in specific vitamins and minerals can play a crucial role in bolstering your immune system and helping your body recover from a throat infection.
