Nature\u2019s antivirals: Top 5 antiviral agents that help boost immune health<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

(Natural News<\/a>) Scientists are scrambling to fast-track a cure for COVID-19, the highly infectious respiratory disease that\u2019s still currently spreading throughout the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) has been conducting clinical trials for a potential COVID-19 drug since April, but to no effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on recent reports, the international clinical trial team tasked to develop an effective treatment for COVID-19 has stopped conducting tests on hydroxychloroquine<\/a> (HCQ), a drug used to treat malaria. This development came about after scientists found that HCQ failed to reduce the mortality rate in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural antiviral agents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The infectious disease may still be at large, but according to recent reports from the online statistics portal Statista<\/em>, more than 4.5 million people<\/a> of the 8.58 million confirmed global cases had recovered from the disease as of June 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This astounding figure indicates that it\u2019s possible to recover from the disease despite the lack of a specialized drug or vaccine. For the most part, recovery can be attributed to a strong immune response to infection and disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies suggest that immune health is largely influenced by diet. For instance, eating foods rich in essential nutrients and potent plant compounds can help enhance immune health. But some do a better job of boosting immune functions and fighting off pathogens than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the most potent all-natural immune boosters<\/a> that can help protect against infection and disease:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin C<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vitamin C is hailed for its immune-boosting properties. Considered a\u00a0potent antioxidant<\/a>, this micronutrient\u00a0has been found to strengthen cells and tissues against pathogens and to stimulate the production of disease-fighting antibodies and immune cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
