CBD's Role in COVID-19 Protection: Unpacking the Scientific Evidence
New research has shown promising results for the use of cannabidiol (CBD) in the fight against COVID-19. The study, conducted by the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C), found that real patients taking the same form of CBD had fewer positive COVID-19 tests.
The research, however, did not involve human trials and was performed on human cells and animals, not on humans. The study's findings were based on lab tests and have not yet been tested in humans.
The study revealed that CBD prevents the virus from reproducing itself, which could potentially stop COVID-19 infection. However, it did not show that CBD can keep the virus from getting into the cell. The findings suggest that CBD's impact on the body's stress and immune responses may be connected to its potential benefits against COVID-19.
It's important to note that the study did not discuss the potential interaction between CBD and other medications or health conditions. Additionally, it did not provide any information on the dosage of CBD that would be effective in preventing COVID-19, nor did it discuss the potential side effects of taking CBD every day to prevent COVID-19. The study also did not provide any information on the long-term effects of taking CBD every day to prevent COVID-19.
Another study, published in early 2022, found that an FDA-approved form of CBD can block the replication of several variants of SARS-CoV-2 in lab tests on human lung cells and mice. This study, too, did not involve human trials.
The research group that conducted the study on cannabidiol and its potential COVID-19 inhibitory effects is not explicitly named in the provided search results. The study involved an FDA-approved form of CBD, and it's unclear whether other forms of CBD would have the same effects.
Researchers are not currently recommending the use of over-the-counter CBD based on these findings. The study did not discuss the impact of over-the-counter CBD on COVID-19, and it did not show that CBD can keep the virus from getting into the cell.
While the preliminary results are promising, more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of using CBD to prevent or treat COVID-19. As always, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.
