Abstract: 58 volunteers(18 men and 40 women) were chosen as intakers to observe the effect of chicory polysaccharides(CPS) on human immunity.These volunteers were randomly divided into placebo group and interventional group,and received health food via the bi-blind method.The intakers couldn’s change the life habits but take CPS 1.5g/d orally during two consecutive months.Before and after the experiment two months,the intakers were taken blood out of veins for measuring various biochemical indexes and determining the content of urea acid.Therefore it was concluded that CPS has greater enhancement effects on human immunity.

Key words: chicory polysaccharide(CPS), immunity, human
