Older adults are at risk of inadequate dietary intake and suboptimal supply of micronutrients, including water-soluble vitamins, even those generally considered sufficient in the overall population. These deficiencies may have relevant but often underrecognized consequences for immune function in the elderly.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This review article aims to provide a well-defined overview and comprehensive assessment of the immunomodulatory properties of water-soluble vitamins in individuals aged 65 and older, with a particular focus on vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12 and C.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We reviewed and discussed available human-, animal- and\n                      <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                      studies examining the relationship between water-soluble vitamin status and immune parameters in older adults.

Adequate dietary intake and supplementation of vitamins B1\u2013B12 and vitamin C may help counteract these aging-related immune alterations by supporting immune cell metabolism and reducing susceptibility to infections. Further human studies, and randomized controlled trials in particular, are required to better define the role of water-soluble vitamins in maintaining immune function during aging.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2026.1771591","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]],"date-time":"2026-05-26T04:48:23Z","timestamp":1779770903000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Exploring the link between water-soluble vitamins and aging-associated immune system status"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Hendrik","family":"Schmieder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutritional Biochemistry, University of Hohenheim","place":["Stuttgart, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katja","family":"Detert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutritional Biochemistry, University of Hohenheim","place":["Stuttgart, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Leischner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutritional Biochemistry, University of Hohenheim","place":["Stuttgart, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sascha","family":"Venturelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutritional Biochemistry, University of Hohenheim","place":["Stuttgart, Germany"]},{"name":"Department of Vegetative and Clinical Physiology, Institute of Physiology, University of Tuebingen","place":["Tuebingen, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Markus","family":"Burkard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nutritional Biochemistry, University of Hohenheim","place":["Stuttgart, Germany"]},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine VIII, Medical Oncology and Pneumology, Virotherapy Center T\u00fcbingen (VCT), University Hospital Tuebingen","place":["Tuebingen, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2666-7568(22)00272-0","article-title":"Ageing populations: Unaffordable demography","volume":"3","year":"2022","journal-title":"Lancet Healthy Longevity"},{"key":"B2","unstructured":"Fact sheets.
