Abstract
Cinnamon and Hop Extracts as Potential Immunomodulators for Severe COVID-19 Cases.
Highlights
Despite intense focus, so far no effective treatment has been developed for severe cases of COVID-19
We searched for clinical studies on Cinnamon using the search term “Ceylon Cinnamon OR Cinnamaldehyde,” while for clinical studies on hops we used the search term “Humulone OR Lupulone OR Xanthohumol OR hops” (Tables 2, 3)
For the majority of clinical studies with Ceylon cinnamon, powder was administered in an encapsulated form; the clear advantage of administering Ceylon cinnamon in this way is that the formulation does not comprise ethanol
Summary
No effective treatment has been developed for severe cases of COVID-19. We looked for studies describing anti-inflammatory effects for Ceylon cinnamon, hops, and their major compounds. Crude hop extracts as well as individual compounds have been described to exert anti-viral effects against several DNA and RNA viruses (Buckwold et al, 2004; Fuchimoto et al, 2013).
