Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

Yes, if you are using regular prescription medications like antihypertensives or antidepressants, you may not be eligible for the trial. Also, if you are taking proton pump inhibitors, you need a 48-hour break before taking the study capsules.

What data supports the effectiveness of the IgY supplement treatment for immune system support?

Research on similar treatments, like immunonutrition, shows that adding certain nutrients to diets can help reduce infections, especially in patients undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. Although the studies have some flaws, they suggest that enhancing immunity through diet can be beneficial.12345

Is the IgY supplement generally safe for humans?

Research suggests that IgY, derived from egg yolk, is considered safe for use in humans. It is cost-effective, minimizes animal harm, and has reduced reactivity with human factors, making it a promising option for health products.678910

How is the IgY supplement treatment different from other treatments for immune system support?

The IgY supplement is unique because it uses antibodies extracted from egg yolks, which are cost-effective and ethically produced without harming animals. Unlike traditional antibiotics, IgY can be used continuously without causing resistance and supports the body's natural microbiome, making it a natural and non-toxic option for immune system support.79111213

What is the purpose of this trial?

This study is to evaluate whether Muno-IgY is effective in enhancing immune health among adults over a six week period.

Findings from Research

Immunonutrition, which includes nutrients like glutamine, omega-3 fatty acids, and arginine, has been studied for its potential to influence immune responses, but individual supplements generally showed no significant clinical efficacy in randomized controlled trials.
Commercial immunonutrition formulas have demonstrated better outcomes compared to standard nutrition support in some trials, but design flaws in these studies make it unclear whether the benefits are due to the immunonutrients themselves or the overall nutrition regimen.
Immunonutrition: can you be what you eat?Koretz, RL.[2019]
Many dietary supplements claiming to boost the immune system have misleading labels that do not meet FDA standards, raising concerns about their reliability.
Quality control for these supplements is generally inadequate, which could affect their safety and effectiveness for consumers.
