Prevention: The Phytochemicals and antioxidants to prevent upper respiratory track infection

1. Epigallocatechin gallate
Epigallocatechin gallate is a green tea-derived polyphenol. According to the study by School of Medicine, Wuhan University, reatment with EGCG (20 nmol/L) significantly suppressed the increased ROS level in MDCK cells following influenza A infection. In BALB/c mice infected with influenza virus, oral administration of EGCG (40 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1)) dramatically improved the survival rate, decreased the mean virus yields and mitigated viral pneumonia in the lungs, which was equivalent to oral administration of oseltamivir (40 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1)), a positive control drug(26).
2. Curcumin
Curcumin, in clinically relevant concentrations for topical use, displayed strong antibacterial effect against a facultative upper respiratory tract pathogen by inhibiting bacterial growth, adherence, invasion, and pro-inflammatory activation of upper respiratory tract epithelial cells in vitro, according to the study by Department of Pediatrics, University of Bern, Inselspital(27).
3. Bromelain
Bromelain, a clinically used pineapple extract and natural product, has reported anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. According to the study by the University of Connecticut, School of Medicine, Bromelain attenuated development of AAD while altering CD4+ to CD8+ T lymphocyte populations. The reduction in AAD outcomes suggests that bromelain may have similar effects in the treatment of human asthma and hypersensitivity disorders(28).
4. Alliin
In a randomly assigned 146 volunteer participants to either a garlic supplement (with 180 mg of allicin content) or a placebo (once daily) for 12 weeks, the trial reported 65 occurrences of the common cold in the placebo group compared with 24 in the garlic intervention group (P < 0.001). The number of days of illness was lower in the garlic group compared with the placebo group (111 versus 366)(29).
