The connection between nutrition and immune function is quite strong. While protein-calorie malnutrition has been known for quite some time to result in immune incompetence, only recently has it been recognized that single nutrient deficiencies can result in profound immune dysfunction. This would include deficiencies in vitamins, minerals and special metabolic substrates.

It is known that a large segment of our population is deficient in one or more nutrients. During stress, such as would occur during a bioterrorist attack, nutritional depletion would worsen. It is also known that stress enhances immune suppression and increases free radical generation in numerous tissues.
