We have long known that one cause of secondary immunodeficiency is malnutrition. And we are constantly bombarded by claims that this or that supplement will "boost your immune system," whether they be online, on television or via naturopathic practioners. Many of these 'supplement' claims are overreaching if not downright false. And little scientific evidence seems to validate such assertions.
In contrast, a recent story in the Wall Street Journal has a nice (albeit brief) summary of what we know about nutrition & the immune system. I would always argue that the best way to obtain the proper amount of nutrients is not through a pill, but via a balanced diet.
