WHAT IS NUTRITIONAL IMMUNITY?

BACTERIASNutritional Immunity is a natural method for fighting infection, a defense that the body has developed to rob viruses and bacteria of vitally needed nutritional substances and thus prevent their ability to reproduce and cause infection.

Researchers have reported that the body’s defenses fight with bacterial over iron molecules, to prevent the bacteria from obtaining this much needed substance and thus reduce their infectious ability.  This has been accomplished through genetic variations in iron transport molecules.

Why is this important?  Well, it provides a novel method for improving the body’s defenses and may lead to new antibiotic treatments.  In addition, it questions the idea of vitamin and mineral supplementation, revealing the potential harm in such supplements beyond the presumed benefits ‘more and more vitamins and minerals’ may provide the body.  Perhaps we should think again before we take the vitamin.
