âIn Tune with Immuneâ is one of the Top Ten Trends 2021, according to Innova Market Insights. As this market research institute reports, six out of 10 consumers worldwide are looking for foods and beverages that support the immune system. SternVitamin has developed various concepts specifically for immune health. With the help of these micronutrient premixes, manufacturers can address the growing demand.
Vitamins A, C, D, E, B1, B6, B12 and folic acid play a central role in this, as do the minerals zinc, iron, copper and selenium. These micronutrients perform many functions that help the immune system, including antioxidative and antimicrobial functions, and they help to neutralise viruses and bacteria. An inadequate supply of them increases the risk and severity of infection. This is especially the case for older people, who often suffer from malnutrition. A good third of people over 50 years old in Europe, the US and Canada have demonstrable deficiencies in one or more micronutrients.
