Cover Story: The 2nd International Electronic Conference on Nutrients was held during 15–31 March 2022. The conference edition focused on nutrition support for immunity and countermeasure effects on infection, inflammation, and oxidative stress. The immune system is complex, distributed throughout the body, and highly active. Appropriate nutrients are necessary for the varied cells of the immune system to function optimally and respond to injury, inflammation, oxidative stress, and invading viruses as well as bacteria. This conference provided current trends and insights into nutritional immunology and immunonutrition strategies to counter infection, inflammation, and oxidative stress.
