Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Levels of immunological markers (immunoglobulin A [IgA], immunoglobulin G [IgG], interferon-? [IFN-?], and total leukocyte count) measured by blood analysis at baseline (Day 1) and after 90 days of supplementation (Day 90)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Health-related quality of life measured using the SF-36 questionnaire at baseline (Day 1) and after 90 days of supplementation (Day 90) 2. Safety and tolerability assessed through participant reports and clinical evaluation at each visit and via follow-up phone call (around Day 45)
