It’s looking like there is a nasal spray that you can use to reduce and nearly eliminate COVID-19 from getting into your body through your nose, and it works even after a single dose. This means you’ll potentially be able to protect your lungs from COVID damage.
Scientists from Northwestern University and Utah State University did an in vitro study and concluded that components found within the nasal spray Xlear was successful in statistically reducing the amount of SARS-CoV-2 in the nose.
The 2 elements in the nasal spray that were having this positive impact were grapefruit seed extract and Xylitol.
The researchers found that after a single blast of Xlear that the amount of the virus in the nose was reduced significantly. Xlear said this confirmed the conclusions reached in other studies.
Xlear is currently sold as a nasal irrigiant for cleansing and moisturizing the nasal cavities.
In this study, the researchers used electron microscopy to show that the grapefruit seed extract killed the virus, while the xylitol prevented the virus from attaching to the cell walls,
There is now a petition before the World Health Organization for all people to use nasal sprays containing the two ingredients to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The petition, which is supported by Xlear, is touting data that shows these nasal sprays are able to block viral adhesion and even kill or deactivate the virus in the nasal passages. The petition calls specifically for WHO Guidance to focus on the use of nasal sprays that contain Xylitol and grapefruit seed extract.
There are several other nasal sprays that are showing promise in providing another level of protection against COVID-19.
I’ve started using this nasal spray when I’m about to walk into a store and as soon as I walk out. So…based on these results, there’s a new slogan we can start to use – “A little spray, goes a long way.”
