简要总结
This study is a 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of Silk Peptide for the evaluation of efficacy on immune function enhancement.
详细描述
This study will evaluate Silk Peptide's efficacy on immune function in healthy volunteers who white blood cells count is in between 4000/㎕ and 8000/㎕ by assessing improvements in certain immune indices (i.e. NK cell activity, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-1β, 2, 12, IgG1, IgG2).
