The current clinical trial aims to assess in a 500 volunteer trial the efficacy of QuadraMune(TM) in reducing infection in individuals at high risk of COVID-19.
- Detailed Description
QuadraMune(TM) is composed of 4 natural ingredients.
Pterostilbene is an analogue of resveratrol, and has been shown to possess antiinflammatory activity. Additionally, this compound suppresses macrophage activation while enhancing NK activity.
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is one of the active ingredients in green tea and has been shown to act as an activator of T cells, and a suppressor of neutrophil mediated inflammation.
Sulforaphane is derived from broccoli and studies have shown that it protects lungs from inflammatory pathology.
Thymoquinone, which is chemically related to hydroxychloroquine, possessing antiviral effects and increases NK activity.
QuadraMune is a combination of these ingredients and is believed to possess superior in vitro and in vivo therapeutic properties as compared to when the ingredients are administered individually.
