Long COVID Challenges and the Role of Plant-Based Bioactive Compounds

Long COVID is associated with a range of complex biological mechanisms that continue to affect individuals well after the initial infection. Research points to several key processes, including hormonal imbalances, neuroinflammation, viral reactivation, vascular endothelial damage, and microvascular thrombosis. These factors may contribute to persistent symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and cardiovascular complications.

Our line of plant-based products is formulated with certified USDA Organic Extracts, including Nattokin™ and Enterinex™, both of which are rich in bioactive compounds. These ingredients have demonstrated anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and fibrinolytic properties, which may provide valuable support for individuals experiencing long-term effects of COVID-19.

Hormonal Dysregulation: Evidence suggests potential hormonal imbalances in long-haulers. These imbalances may encompass elevated and reduced levels of cortisol, testosterone in females, and estradiol in males.

Neuroinflammation and Viral Reactivation: There are indications of inflammation within the nervous system of long-haulers. This may be linked to the reactivation of latent viruses, such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

Persistent Fatigue and Cytokine Storm: Lingering fatigue, a hallmark symptom of Long COVID, could be a consequence of the initial inflammatory response, known as the cytokine storm, triggered by the acute COVID-19 infection.

Vascular Endothelial Damage: Damage to the inner lining of blood vessels throughout the body has been observed in some cases of Long COVID. This endothelial dysfunction could contribute to various long-term complications.

Microvascular Thrombosis: The formation of tiny blood clots caused by the virus's spike protein is another potential mechanism under investigation. These microclots may affect various organs, including the legs, brain, and heart.

Our line of plant-based products utilizes multiple certified USDA Organic Extracts rich in a variety of bioactive compounds. Both Nattokin™ and Enterinex™ provide a multitude of other bioactive compounds with documented health benefits.

These ingredients possess properties that may be relevant for long COVID, including:

Anti-inflammatory effects, Antiviral properties, and Fibrinolytic activity.

By harnessing these potential benefits, our products aim to offer natural support for individuals experiencing long-term effects ("long-haulers") following repeated COVID-19 infections.
