The papers were published from 1989 to 2020. Finally, a total of twelve studies were identified, and the pathways of all nutrient metabolisms are included in the study. The studies were mostly carried out in Asian and European countries on human as well as animals. All the studies except one supported the role of Nutrients in preventing and curing the infection caused by pathogens such as Bacteria and Viruses.
