Immune health: Experts advise balanced diet over supplements

As autumn approaches, experts emphasize that the immune system cannot be artificially ‘turbocharged’ through short-term detox cures or sudden supplementation. Instead, maintaining a balanced and varied diet is essential to provide the vitamins and minerals necessary for biological functions and immune defense.

Anses warns against products marketed as ‘immunity boosters.’ For individuals without existing deficiencies, the benefits of systematic supplementation are not demonstrated. Health professionals recommend investigating the underlying causes of fatigue or health issues rather than relying automatically on dietary supplements.
