Tea is able to detoxify COVID-19 virus, up to 99% in 1 minute – Nara Medical University

Nara Prefectural Medical University (Kamahara City, the same prefecture) announced on the November 27th that it has confirmed the effect of detoxifying the new corona virus with commercially available tea.

From Sankei news, although the effect on humans has not been confirmed at the basic research stage, up to 99% of the virus has lost its infectivity when it comes into contact with tea for 1 minute in vitro, and it is expected to be one of the measures against infection.

There is a difference in the effect depending on the product, and it is said that the publication of the product name will be considered with the permission of the manufacturer.

The experiment was carried out by a research team of Professor Toshikazu Yano (Microbial Infectious Diseases) of the same university. In the experiment, 10 products such as green tea and black tea in PET bottles were used. The virus and tea were mixed in vitro and the amount of infectious virus was examined over time.

The most effective was black tea brewed from tea leaves, and the infectious virus was reduced to 1/100 in 1 minute and less than 1/1000 in 10 minutes. Professor Yano said that the effect on humans was “the stage of possibility” and that “the effect of catechin has been confirmed in influenza, and the same effect can be expected by drinking tea.”

This is a very intriguing research, and may be the answer to end this COVID-19 pandemic.
