Filter by:Zinc and green tea supplementation have both been independently studied for supporting immune health during cold and flu-like illness in non-hospitalized patients with clinical trials demonstrating promising but inconsistent results. Combination therapy may offer an improved effect as the antioxidant compounds found in green tea have been shown to increase cellular zinc concentrations thereby inhibiting viral replication. This study seeks to evaluate the effect of combination supplementation using established doses of zinc and green tea extract on symptom duration and severity from cold and flu-like illness, including COVID-19, in adult community patients enrolled in a randomized placebo-controlled trial.
This study is a stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial of on-site rapid testing and treatment for influenza in homeless shelters within the Seattle area to determine whether this strategy reduced the incidence of influenza in the shelter environment.
