Immunomodulatory Potential of the Industrialized <i>Houttuynia cordata</i> Fermentation Product In Vitro and in Wistar Rats

<i>Houttuynia cordata</i> fermentation products (HCFPs) are produced and widely used as dietary supplements for health and immune support. However, the effect on immune function for these products has not been clearly demonstrated. In this study, soluble fractions of the selected HCFP we...
