12th treatment shown to reduce risk in January 2021, now with p = 0.00016 from 14 studies.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.
5,100+ studies for 112 treatments. c19early.org
In Vitro study showing nigella sativa extracts inhibit the interaction between the S1 subunit of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and ACE2 in a dose-dependent manner, with chloroform extract having the highest inhibition of 98.9% at 10 mg/ml. The higher effectiveness of the chloroform extract may be due to the presence of non-polar phytochemicals such as thymoquinone, thymohydroquinone, and nigellidine.
21 preclinical studies support the efficacy of nigella sativa for COVID-19:
Ali et al., 31 Aug 2024, peer-reviewed, 12 authors. Contact: rajan.radhakrishnan@mbru.ac.ae (corresponding author).
In Vitro studies are an important part of preclinical research, however results may be very different in vivo.
