Green Tea
Ilona Hauber, PhD, researcher from the Heinrich-Pette Institute for Experimental Virology and Immunology, Hamburg-Germany says green tea and SEVI able to counteract against the HIV virus.
Hauber explained as published the National Academy of Sciences, SEVI is beta-amyloid fibril formed from prostate proteins in semen. Beta-amyloids are also found in people with neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
EGCG (molecules contained in green tea) is a compound that can fight the formation of beta-amyloid. Hence green tea leaves can be an alternative anti-HIV drugs affordable and effective in reducing the risk of HIV transmission.
