Full details on all Natural Killer Cell Content supplements are available to Examine members.
| Grade | Level of Evidence [show legend] |
|---|---|
|
Robust research conducted with repeated double-blind clinical trials |
|
Multiple studies where at least two are double-blind and placebo controlled |
|
Single double-blind study or multiple cohort studies |
|
Uncontrolled or observational studies only |
|
Level of Evidence
?
The amount of high quality evidence. The more

|
Supplement |

Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
- | High See all 3 studies |
Although one increase in NK cell content has been noted after exercise, the two studies using similar doses at rest have failed to find a significant influence on NK cell content
|
|
|
|
Minor
|
- See study |
An increase has been noted, but there is insufficient evidence to assess the magnitude of increase or the reliability
|
|
|
|
Minor
|
Very High See 2 studies |
There is an increase in NK cell levels seen in both healthy controls as well as cancer patients, and this is thought to be due in part to both immunostimulatory and anti-immunosuppressive effects.
