Natural compound myricetin shows antiviral potential against SARS-CoV-2
June 23, 2021

Natural compounds have become a popular source of interest for drug development due to some successes in their employment against cancer, HIV, malaria, and heart disease. Some natural compounds — flavonoids, garlic, naturally occurring coumarin, and green tea polyphenols — have had higher affinities than some marketed drugs.
New findings from a team of Chinese researchers suggest natural compounds — specifically the flavonoid myricetin — could also be a potential drug candidate for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
Myricetin is a member of the flavonoid class of polyphenolic compounds, with antioxidant properties. Common dietary sources include vegetables, fruits, nuts, berries, tea, and red wine.

Hibiscus
Many of us are familiar with the hibiscus plant which grows across much of the US from the Northeast and Midwest to the Gulf. Hibiscus has beautiful flowers which come in many colors, from pink, red, orange and even blue. Hibiscus tea is a great summertime drink -- a little sweet and a little tart or sour. Health benfits include a good dose of Vitamin C, which helps with collagen for skin health and wound healing and also keeps capillaries strong to prevent bruising. There is also some evidence that it may help with lowering blood pressure. For more information, please call 346-703-2041 or email: magnoliacrossingacu@gmail.com
