Brazilian Health Experts Advise Supplements and Tailored Vaccines for Older Adults

A Brazilian health professional, Moacir Rosa, outlines five essential supplements for people over 35, emphasizing antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, magnesium, and other nutrients to counteract age‑related changes like sarcopenia, weight gain and increased disease risk.

Separately, immunologist Isabella Ballalai of the Brazilian Society of Immunizations explains that immunosenescence reduces vaccine effectiveness in those over 60. She highlights newer vaccine formats—high‑dose, recombinant and cell‑culture‑based—to provoke stronger immune responses and lower the heightened risk of severe flu complications, stroke and heart attack in seniors.
