About this study
Official title: A 8 Weeks, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Human Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Blueberry Yeast Fermentation Freeze Dying Powder on Promotion of Immunity
This study was conducted to investigated the effects of daily supplementation of Blueberry Yeast Fermentation Freeze Dying Powder on Promotion of Immunity.
Read the detailed description
This study was a 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial. 100 subjects were randomly divided into Blueberry Yeast Fermentation Freeze Dying Powder extract 2.07 g or placebo group. The investigated measured Natural Killer cell activity, Cytokines, Upper respiratory infection questionnaire score, etc.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes of Natural Killer cell activity
Natural Killer cell activity was measured in study baseline and 8 week. A ratio of effector cell and target cell was 50:1, 25:1, 12.5:1.
(Experimental - Effector Spontaneous - Target Spontaneous) / (Target Maximum - Target Spontaneous) × 100
Measured: 8 week
Secondary outcomes (2)
Changes of Cytokines
For blood Cytokines analysis, collect 3 ml of blood in one SST tube for 5 ml, leave at room temperature for 30 minutes for clotting, after then centrifuge at 3000 rpm (or 2000 xg) for 10 minutes.
Inspection item were IL-2, IL-6, IL-12, IFN-γ, TNF-α.
Measured: 8 week
Changes of Upper respiratory infection questionnaire score
The upper respiratory infection questionnaire will investigate the occurrence of symptoms of upper respiratory infections (or symptoms), the score by symptom, the duration (days), and survey on the day of visit (1st, 2nd and 3rd visits).
The questionnaire items were classified into three groups according to whether or not the symptoms of upper respiratory infections (or symptoms) occurrence (yes or no), the types of symptoms (sore throat, rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, sneezing, hoarseness, myalgia, earache, fever, headache, cough, sputum, dyspnea, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting)and symptoms level (0 if no symptoms, 1 if slightly, 2 if normal, 3 severe).
Measured: 8 week
