Clinical malnutrition is a heterogenous group of disorders including macronutrient deficiencies that lead to body cell mass depletion and micronutrient deficiencies, and these often coexist with infectious and inflammatory processes [Hughes,S. & Kelly, P. 2006]. Diverse factors affect bioavailability, such as the nutritional status of individuals, the presence in the diet of substances which facilitate or inhibit its absorption, interactions among micronutrients, illnesses, and chemical characteristics of the compound used for fortification. There is good evidence that specific micronutrients, particularly zinc and vitamin A, influence immunity, while iron supplementation is often not effective in Africa [Hughes, S. & Kelly, P. 2006].
