Abstract in brief

  • This study tested whether a Cordyceps extract called CBGCS2 can boost the immune system in healthy adults by measuring natural killer cell activity before and after 8 weeks of supplementation, finding a significant increase in immune activity in those taking the extract.
  • The results indicated that CBGCS2 not only enhanced immune cell function but did so safely, with minimal inflammation, suggesting it could be a useful supplement for improving immune health.
  • The clinical trial was rigorously conducted, being randomized and double-blind, and was officially registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT 02814617).

@Mekima_Kaityri Cordyceps appears to exert beneficial immunomodulatory effects, specifically enhancing natural killer cell function. NK cells seem to be deficient and/or dysfunctional in both ME/CFS & acute Covid...& probably LC too (but I haven't seen studies on that). https://t.co/9EfTouvCin
