There's an amino acid chain synthesized from the thymus of a cow that helped double my lymphocytes (they were low for months). Called Thymic Protein-A. Readily accessible. One of the few things that made a change. Nothing else really helped me out.
What I find interesting how the thymus becomes essentially a blog of fat as we get older and partially explains why infections tend to hit us harder as we age.
