    Psychosomatic nonsense primarily.

    There's plenty of immune suppressants around but no general immune system boosters. And vitamin supplements are of limited use unless diagnosed with a deficiency.

    Somehow boosting the immune system is basically the key to cancer prevention and as such there's nothing on a supermarket shelf that will help with that it's literally snake oil. Probiotics may have other benefits though so not a complete waste of money
