Vitamins and hormones are both essential for a well-functioning immune system. Vitamin D, testosterone, progesterone and estrogen all play key roles in helping the body to fight off illness. For example, Vitamin D helps to boost the production of defensive cells, while testosterone and progesterone boost immunity by increasing cytokines in the bloodstream. Estrogen has its own variety of roles in regulating the immune system; it helps stabilize the pH balance of cells, reduces inflammation and supports healthy cell growth while aiding the creation of antibodies. Meanwhile, testosterone increases production of inflammatory mediators such as T-cells that help to identify any ill or damaged cells the body may harbor. It is only through the combined efforts of these vitamins and hormones that our immune systems can remain strong and healthy.
