CBDA & Covid-19

JUST IN:

Cannabis compounds stopped COVID virus from infecting human cells in lab study.

Researchers from the Oregon State University have found that cannabis compounds prevented

the virus that causes COVID-19 from penetrating healthy human cells.

Researchers from Oregon State University found that the compounds in hemp, called cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, and cannabidiolic acid or CBDA, may have potential to combat coronavirus. In a study, they found that these compounds can bind to spike proteins found on coronavirus and block a step the pathogen uses to infect people.

The researchers tested the compounds’ effect against alpha and beta variants of the virus in a laboratory. The study didn’t involve giving the supplements to people or comparing infection rates in those who use the compounds to those who don’t.

Hemp provides a source of fiber, food and animal feed. Extracts from hemp are commonly added to cosmetics, body lotions, dietary supplements and food.

According to Richard van Breemen, a researcher with Oregon State’s Global Hemp Innovation Center, compounds have the potential to prevent as well as treat infection by SARS-CoV-2.
