Systematic review describes nutritional interventions, including omega-3s, as potential modulators of aging-related immune dysfunction.
This systematic review examines how nutritional interventions—including bioactive compounds, essential nutrients, and functional foods—might modulate immune system aging (immunosenescence) and its effects on organ function. The authors propose an "immune-organ axis" framework linking immune dysregulation to organ-specific dysfunction in conditions like neurodegeneration and chronic inflammation. The review highlights antioxidants from sources like fish oil, berries, turmeric, and algae as potentially beneficial, while noting that bioactive compounds face absorption and stability challenges.
