Let us first have a look at how a coronavirus infects the cells of our body. This could be a specific cell in the lung, the blood vessels or any other organ in the body.
To enter human body cells and cause an infection, all coronaviruses require “entry doors” in the cell wall. These cellular gateways for the coronavirus are scientifically well established and are called ACE2 receptors.
If our body cells do not have such receptors, no coronavirus infection can occur.
Now let’s have a look at what the current vaccine search is aiming at. All currently discussed vaccines are trying to raise antibodies against the surface of the virus. These antibodies would potentially block the binding of the virus to the cell. It is noteworthy, that these vaccines would be unable to actually reduce the number of these viral gateways to the cell.
But there is a more direct and more elegant way to prevent coronaviruses to enter the cells – if the production of the ACE2 receptors by the cells is suppressed. This means that much less or no receptors become available that serve as cellular gateways for the virus. Our research shows that several vitamins and other micronutrients can actually reach the cell core and interact with the cell software, the DNA. Through this interaction, we researched a specific combination of micronutrients that was able to decrease the production of ACE2 receptors by more than 80%.
In addition, specific micronutrient compositions can also help to directly block the interaction between the virus and the receptor by more than 95%. This way the micronutrients targets the same infection pathway any vaccine would have – but with a major advantage: As opposed to any new synthetic vaccine, micronutrients are natural molecules without side-effects.
Thus, an optimum dietary intake of selected micronutrients opens the way to help control the coronavirus pandemic by inhibiting two key steps of viral infection in an effective and safe way.
