Immunomodulation in Middle-Aged Humans Via the Ingestion of Adapticort®

PHYTOTHERAPY RESEARCH 2016 Annie George, Naoko Suzuki, Azreena Binti Abas, Kiminori Mohri, Masanori Utsuyama

• Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study: 81 middle aged (40-59 years old) subjects with lower Scoring of Immunological Vigor (SIV) were recruited and were given either 200mg Adapticort® or placebo daily for 4 weeks.
• Immune Senescence: As we age, our immune system function deteriorates
• Decreased Numbers of Naïve T cells: slow to respond to disease and illness
• Increase Senescence of Memory T cells: lost ability to divide and function properly
• Decreased Function of Natural Killer (NK) Cell activity
• Over Production of Cytokines from Immune Cells
• Cortisol stress hormone promotes immune senescence. Previous research showed Adapticort® to reduce cortisol.
