Today there is a high expectation about the role that the microbiota can play by interacting with genetics, nutrition and the immune system, something that two decades ago was not foreseen its great impact on health. Immunonutrition in its broad context, is defined as the area of science that is dedicated to the study of the processes by which the different nutrients, bioactive compounds and ingredients maintain or affect the normal physiology of the immune system and to what extent such processes may be altered by deficits, overfeeding or supplementation, as well as their impact on disease prevention and treatment.
