Brief summary
The aim of the present trial is to study the effect of the combination of plant extracts (BSL\_EP024) in the activation of the immune response.
Detailed description
More than 90% of the diseases are related, directly or indirectly, with immune alterations. Traditionally, protection against infections and improvement of the immune response has been addressed by natural means through the use of plant extracts. This activity has been attributed to phenolic compounds. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of the combination of plant extracts (BSL\_EP024) on immunological response parameters.
Interventions
