With aging, the ability to mount an immune response tends to decrease. Dietary factors, probiotics, and natural health products can play a role in maintaining or enhancing immune functions. At INQUIS Clinical Research, we help design studies that measure modulation of immune response in target populations either through direct measurement of immunoglobulins such as IgA and IgE or by measurement of symptoms in response to an appropriate stressor.
