Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The measured values and amount of change from screening (before consumption; Scr) in each of the following items at four weeks after consumption (4w): scoring of immunological vigor, T lymphocyte age, the number of T cells, the ratio of CD4+T cells to CD8+T cells, the number of naive T cells, the ratio of naive T cells to memory T cells, the score of B cells, the score of NK cells, and the number of CD8+CD28+T cells

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The measured values and amount of change from Scr of interferon (IFN)-alfa, the activity of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC), and immunoglobulin G of SARS-Cov-2, and the maximum duration of the days with common cold symptoms during the intervention period
