Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. To explore the efficacy of fatty acid and bile acid based supplements on enhancing flu vaccine immune response.
2. To evaluate the safety of fatty acid and bile acid use in elders.
3. To explore the potential role of microbiota in regulating immune response.
This study will conduct a randomized clinical trial to compare the efficacy of fatty acid / bile acid (Tauro Ursodesoxy Cholic Acid, TUDCA)supplements on enhancing vaccine immune response. The antibody's titer and safety indicators after influenza vaccination will be evaluated. Study process are:
1. Participants will be required to intake the assigned supplement or placebo daily for 25 days;
2. Receive a influenza vaccine on day 4;
3. Provide blood samples three times and stool samples twice at base line and endpoint respectively;
4. The antibody's titer and safety indicators will be analyzed and compared among groups.
This study aims to establish a theoretical foundation for utilizing nutritional strategies to enhance vaccine-induced immune responses and to provide a scientific framework for developing oral vaccine boosters.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The age-related decline in immune function manifests through multiple mechanisms,including: reduced production of naive T cells; decreased diversity of T cell repertoire; compromised B cell function, altered cytokine production profiles which all diminished vaccine response efficacy.
Recent advances in immunometabolism have revealed the crucial role of specific fatty acids in immune system modulation. Our preliminary explorations found that，short-term Arachidonic Acid（AA）intervention could significantly reduce the time required for antibody production and enhance its levels following rabies vaccination. We also noticed that the serum Tauro Ursodesoxy Cholic Acid (TUDCA) was elevated in the intervention group. However, the related mechanism is still not clear.
The theoretical framework integrates nutritional immunology with classical vaccinology, focusing on the metabolic interaction between dietary fatty acids and immune cell function. This approach is particularly relevant for the elderly population, where reduced vaccine responsiveness due to immunosenescence presents a significant challenge in achieving optimal vaccine protection.
