Ingredients in certain foods can help against coronavirus, including green tea and chocolate.
- Researchers have new approaches against it Spread since Coronavirus tested on the body.

Frankfurt / Raleigh – Ingredients in some plants are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Including the tea plant, cocoa and some grape varieties. So it made sense for researchers at North Carolina State University to investigate the effect of these substances on the Coronavirus Try out. The result: Green Tea, Dark chocolate, Cocoa powder Y Muscadine grapes can that help Spread Contains.
Sars-CoV-2: researchers find coronavirus weakness in corona study
Researchers Yue Zhu and Deyu Xie found the weak point in the “major protease” (Mpro) of the Coronavirus. „Mpro in SARS-CoV-2 it is necessary for the virus to replicate and mount, ”Xie writes in a press release. “If we can occupy or deactivate this protease, the virus dies.”

Researchers have now apparently managed to do this with the help of plant substances. To do this, they first conducted computer simulations, but also tested their approach in a test tube. The result: extracts from Green Tea and Muscadine grapes were “very successful” in inactivating the virus protease. Cocoa powder and dark chocolate provided extracts that cut protease productivity in half.
Corona Study: Green Tea and Chocolate to Prevent the Spread of Coronavirus
Die Mpro des Coronavirus According to the study authors, it has “pockets” that the substances in the extracts can “hold”. This decays the protease, which leads to the death of the virus. the Green Tea According to Xie, it has five proven chemical ingredients that dock on different sides of the bags and cause them to deactivate. Muscadine grapes contain these substances in their skin and seeds. Therefore, “it is not surprising”, according to Xie, that plants use these substances to protect themselves from diseases.

Consume Green Tea, darker chocolate and Muscadine grapes, the authors write: “We assume that increased consumption of these common products will protect against SARS-CoV-2 it can be better. ”
As there is still no effective drug against COVID-19 give and one Corona vaccine was not available at the time of the study, the authors suggest Green TeaUse grapes and cocoa to reduce the effects on the sick.
