Like other organ systems, the complex and decentralized immune system is also subject to the aging process This is partly evident at the organ level (e g thymus involution) as well as at the cellular and molecular level One of the characteristics of aging is a reduction in stem cells, which is particularly pronounced in the immune system The advances already made in extending the life span put more stress on the immune system as we get older;this is accompanied by the development of age-associated diseases such as cancer Compensating micronutrient deficits can support immune regeneration The role of micronutrients in the immune defence against infections and in the fight against cancer is discussed, with special emphasis on the role of vitamin D, zinc and selenium Growing evidence shows that such support for the immune system of patients is of great importance in times of a virus pandemic
