It is promising but unproven
These findings point to its potential in research related to neural repair, neurodegeneration, and stroke recoverythough human applications remain entirely unstudied at this time
These effects are hypothesized to reduce inflammation and improve structural recovery, but they remain confined to controlled animal experiments

The risk appears higher with repeated infusions and in patients with pre-existing risk factors
Useful investigations include: Cytokine panels to assess ongoing inflammatory activation Lymphocyte subset analysis to characterize immune dysfunction patterns Organic acid testing to evaluate mitochondrial function and cellular energy metabolism Comprehensive stool analysis to assess microbiome status and intestinal permeability Cortisol and adrenal function testing Viral reactivation panels including EBV and CMV antibody titer tests Autonomic function testing, including heart rate variability analysis, and Advanced nutrient status including glutathione, CoQ10, NAD+ markers, B vitamins, and magnesium This holistic picture of your health allows for targeted interventions rather than generic symptom management, fostering more effective long COVID treatment
