Study to Investigate the Benefits of Dietary Supplement Quercetin for Early Symptoms of COVID-19
Abstract
Quercetin is a flavonoid dietary supplement that occurs in many edible fruits and vegetables. It has remarkable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunoprotective and antiviral properties. It is widely used to boost the body immune system against infections and keeping healthy life-style. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the potential benefits of quercetin for preventing COVID-19 disease progression and symptoms improvement in the early stage of infection.
Conditions: COVID-19.
Primary outcome: Testing negative for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR with symptoms improvement.
Enrollment: 100 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 100 participants or records.
