Consider Immune System: Low cortisol promotes the Th1 arm of the immune system and therefore low cortisol may be an indication that the body wants extra Th1 stimulation to possibly fight an infection, cellular damage or other unwanted antigen.
Th1 Stimulating compounds support humoral intracellular immunity primarily in response to microbes that infect or activate macrophages and NK cells and in response to attack from viruses. /upon
