     As mentioned earlier, quince are rich in antioxidants, but other vitamins, such as vitamins C and E, may help boost your immune system in a variety of ways. For example, vitamin C stimulates the immune system to increase the number of white blood cells, the body's first line of defense against pathogens, viruses, and bacteria.

     Copper and zinc, along with many other trace elements, are essential for the formation of red blood cells.
