Dandelion leaf extract blocks spike proteins from binding to the ACE2 cell surface receptor
RESEARCH: Dandelion leaf extract blocks spike proteins from binding to the ACE2 cell surface receptor
The engineered spike proteins from SARS-CoV-2 can be STOPPED by a common “weed†that is exterminated from lawns every year. A German university study found that the common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) can block spike proteins from binding to the ACE2 cell surface receptors in human lung and kidney cells. The water-based dandelion extract, taken from the plant’s dried leaves, was effective against spike protein D614 and a host of mutant strains, including D614G, N501Y, K417N and E484K.
