Citrus Fruit Juices and Their Bioactive Components on Inflammation and Immunity: A Narrative Review - "The immune system provides defence to the host against pathogenic organisms. A weak immune system increases susceptibility to infections and allows infections to become more severe. One component of the immune response is inflammation. Where inflammation is excessive or uncontrolled it can damage host tissues and cause pathology. Limitation of oxidative stress is one means of controlling inflammation. Citrus fruit juices are a particularly good source of vitamin C and folate, which both have roles in sustaining the integrity of immunological barriers and in supporting the function of many types of immune cell including phagocytes, natural killer cells, T-cells and B-cells. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and reduces aspects of the inflammatory response. Important bioactive polyphenols in citrus fruit juices include hesperidin, narirutin and naringin. Citrus fruit juices contain a wide range of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and bioactive compounds; Several of these micronutrients are important in immune function support."

    Elderberry - Extracts of elderberry have demonstrated in-vitro to have inhibitory effects on influenza A and influenza B viruses [11, 12] as well as H1N1 “swine” flu virus [13]. In addition to this direct action on viruses, elderberry may have an effect on the immune system through cytokines. Anti-influenza activity of Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1756464619300313

    The antiviral properties of Star anise, especially the shikimic acid component, can help prevent viral infections and support the body's natural defenses. Many bacteria which have developed antibiotic resistance can be wiped out with Star anise. These potent antibacterial properties are much in thanks to anethole, linalool and shikimic acid. Research shows that these active components found in star anise have antibacterial properties. Shikimic acid: This is one of the prime ingredients in most flu medications.

    Star anise is one of the most potent antiviral foods. It has been used for centuries to relieve chills, fevers, muscle aches and fatigue. Brewing some star anise tea will definitely give you an edge when fighting flu symptoms.Besides, star anise is loaded with Shikimic acid. Extraction of shikimic acid is used to produce the over-the-counter flu medicine, Tamiflu 9. A recent study showed that combining shikimic acid with quercetin, a natural plant pigment, was extremely effective in increasing the production of immune cells when compared to treatment with Tamiflu 10.

    Lemon - Lemons contain about 35 milligrams of vitamin C, which is over half the amount of vitamin C needed in your daily diet. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, which helps protect cells from damage. Vitamin C also helps your body make collagen for your skin, helps your body absorb iron, and supports your immune system. Citrus fruits are some of the best food sources of vitamin C. Role of vitamins D, E and C in immunity and inflammation - https://europepmc.org/article/med/23830380
