Supplementation of 16mg/kg of a water extract from the stems of _tinospora cordifolia_ for three weeks prior to surgery is able to prevent the surgery-induced reduction in macrophage phagocytosis and intracellular killing capacity although it was not significantly effective in reducing bilirubin.
No placebo group was used for ethnical reasons.

Supplementation of _tinospora cordifolia_ over 18 months appears to increase phagocytosis in macrophages and although there was a significantly reduced number of required debridements for diabetic foot ulcers the other measured parameters (wound depth and severity, healing rate, and global improvement) failed to reach significance.
