Pill and power walk: new study aims to fortify aging immune systems
NCT ID NCT07251244
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a daily natural supplement combined with a twice-weekly exercise program can improve immune function and reduce inflammation in adults aged 65 and older. Over six months, 60 participants will take either the supplement or a placebo, all while following the same supervised exercise routine. Researchers will measure changes in blood markers of immunity and stress, as well as quality of life and physical function.
