* Immune Boosters? In a study of institutionalized elderly people, a daily supplement of zinc (20 mg) plus selenium (100 mcg) improved the immune system's response to flu vaccines, but a daily supplement of vitamin C (120 mg), beta-carotene (5 mg), and vitamin E (15 mg) did not. Neither supplement cut the number of respiratory or urogenital infections.
