Efficacy and safety of YHC-BE-2040 on immune function: An 8-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled study
This study provides meaningful insights into the potential of YHC-BE-2040 as an immune function modulator. While promising, further research with clinical endpoints, larger sample sizes, and extended study durations is needed to fully understand the mechanisms and long-term effects of this deer antler extract on human immunity. Nevertheless, these findings support the safe and effective use of YHC-BE-2040 as an immune-enhancing dietary supplement in healthy adults.
