Abstract
Background - In vitro and animal studies have demonstrated that Chlorella is a potent biological response
modifier on immunity. However, there were no direct evidences for the effect of Chlorella
supplementation on immune/inflammation response in healthy humans.
Methods - This study was designed for an 8-week randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial:
5g of Chlorella (n=23) or Placebo (n=28) as form of tablets. Mainly, cytotoxic activities of
Natural killer (NK) cells and serum concentrations of interferon-¿, interleukin-1ß and
interleukin-12 were measured.
Results - After the 8-week, serum concentrations of interferon-¿ (p
