Immune system<\/a> is a complex network of cells and proteins that protects the body from infection. It protects the body from dangerous substances, germs and cell changes that will make you sick. Iron plays an essential role for the normal development of the immune system. Its deficiency greatly affects the capability to have an adequate immune response. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe purpose of iron for immunity is important for immune cell proliferation, specifically lymphocytes, connected with the generation of a particular response to infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the immune system does not function smoothly due to iron deficiency, there would be no way for us to be protected from the dangerous things that enter our body from the outside environment or even harmful changes that happen inside our body. Our immune system is responsible in recognizing and neutralizing disease-causing germs or pathogens like bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi, and to remove them from our body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
