Can amino acids boost immunity?
Disease description:
Hello doctor, I'm going back to my hometown recently to visit my grandmother. I've heard that amino acids can boost the immune system, so I'm thinking of buying some amino acid supplements for her. But I'm also worried they might be a scam. Could you please advise me—can amino acids really enhance immunity?
Amino acids help enhance immunity. Their functions include the formation of cytokines and antibodies, effectively preventing attacks from harmful viruses and bacteria. They also promote efficient blood circulation, thereby improving cellular protective functions, increasing antiviral responses, and boosting immunity. Additionally, amino acids can mitigate the effects of chronic diseases, promote metabolism, enhance antioxidant capacity, and protect and repair cells. Therefore, they serve as powerful immune system supporters, helping defend against infectious diseases. They can also help reduce inflammation while improving brain function and blood circulation, thus promoting new immune responses.
Overall, amino acids can significantly improve immunity. By enhancing metabolism, promoting antiviral responses and antioxidant capacity, reducing inflammation, and supporting metabolic processes, they strengthen the body's ability to resist attacks from harmful viruses and bacteria, thereby enhancing and reinforcing immune function.
