COVID-19 is linked to metabolic abnormalities and mitochondrial malfunctioning. According to a new study, recovery from COVID infection can be achieved faster by adopting a treatment using metabolic activators.
Opaganib Helps Treat Moderate-to-severe COVID-19
Opaganib is a medication with potential anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral activities. It showed excellent efficacy in reducing the need for supplemental oxygen in COVID-19 patients.

‘Combined Metabolic Activators promote metabolic functions and enhance disease recovery. COVID patients who received it had a 3.5-day reduction in recovery time.’
The findings of the study were published in the journal Advanced Science . What metabolic activators have to do with COVID?
Although COVID-19 is generally presented as a viral disease affecting the respiratory tract, it is also associated with many metabolic abnormalities and malfunction of mitochondria in the cells. The research team probed this particular area further and arrived at the solution of using combined metabolic activators to treat mild-to-moderate COVID infections.
�Happy Hypoxia� may Cause Death in COVID-19
One of a prime and defying reason for COVID mortality is “Happy Hypoxia” that renders no significant respiratory distress even at low oxygen levels until the patient reaches fatality.

"Dysfunctional mitochondria have been implicated in worsened progression for Covid-19, and we are pleased to find that the combination of these metabolic activators helps to remedy the stress put on the body of an infected patient," said Adil Mardinoglu, the study's lead author.

COVID-19: Diet Plan and Lifestyle Modifications for the Unlock Phase
Healthy eating habits and adherence to physical activity are required during COVID-19 lockdown. WHO has prepared a set of general tips that you could follow during the lockdown to stay fit and healthy.

The trial enrolled 309 outpatients at Umraniye Teaching and Research Hospital of Istanbul. Along with the standard care, the patients received either CMAs or placebo drugs twice a day for 14 days. Their clinical status was regularly evaluated by telephone check-ins.

Test your Knowledge on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Coronavirus is a large positive-strand RNA virus that is surrounded by a protein envelope. The virus obtains its name from the S protein spikes on its surface, which resemble a crown. The overall pattern of increasing coronavirus cases is shown to spike up with the “second wave” of COVID-19.
With spiking effects of the second wave of coronavirus, the best way to keep it at bay is to follow COVID-appropriate safety practices like wearing a mask, regularly cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue along with physical distancing (6 feet about 2 arm's length), that may help evade the severity of COVID-19 infection.

"Our phase three data shows that metabolic activators significantly improve the recovery, liver health, and markers of inflammation of patients with COVID-19," said author Adil Mardinoglu, regarding the other benefits of using CMAs.
