Co-supplementation with ginger + echinacea strengthens regular Covid-19 treatment
Echinacea supplementation reduces the symptoms of a viral infection, we wrote a few years ago. Supplementing with ginger has the same effect. The virus-inhibiting effect of ginger has even been demonstrated in people with Covid. So you may wonder what happens when echinacea and ginger are combined. A trial was published in 2021 that provides an answer to that question.
Study
In the spring of 2020, the researchers treated 100 people aged 18-65 with a relatively mild form of Covid with hydroxychloroquine for 7 days.
For half of the test subjects it remained at that [Control]. The other half also received supplements in addition to this regular treatment [Experimental]. Three times a day, the subjects took one tablet with an echinacea extract and two tablets each with 500 milligrams of ginger extract.
Results
Seven days later, the subjects in the experimental group were doing better than the subjects in the control group. They suffered less from coughing, had less muscle pain and were able to breathe better.
Fewer subjects in the control group ended up in hospital than in the experimental group, but that difference was not statistically significant.
