Although certain nutrients play a larger role than others in promoting a healthy immune system, there is no single "immune-boosting" nutrient. Rather, a wide array of nutrients that are found in a balanced, nourishing diet work synergistically to keep the immune system strong. From the list below, choose all the correct statements about immune function. Select all that apply: - Taking iron supplements during infection enhances the immune response. - Deficiencies in nutrients such as protein must be severe and of long duration before they impair immune function. - Essential fatty acids are needed for the production of immune system eicosanoids. - Zinc is required for enzyme activation for B and T cell proliferation. - Vitamin E is also known as the "anti-infective vitamin."
