What is being tested?
The study tests if Korean Angelica root extract (Cogni.Q) boosts immune cells compared to a placebo. Participants will take either Cogni.Q vegicaps or dummy pills without knowing which one they're getting. The focus is on whether this supplement increases neutrophils and NK cells that fight infections and cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
