Résumé
Euglena gracilis (Euglena) is a microalgae found in most freshwater environments that produces paramylon, an insoluble β-1,3-glucan linked to human immunity. We hypothesized that Euglena powder has effects on immune function in apparently healthy adults. The study included male or female volunteers between the ages of 20 and 70 years who had white blood cell counts ranging from 4 × 10
