Good information.COVID-19: Tannic acid targets key stages in the fight against SARS-CoV-2 infection
Natural polyphenol seems to inhibit the activity of three important molecular pathways involved in the SARS-CoV-2 infection
Professor Charles Ramassamy and his postdoctoral researcher Mohamed Haddad at Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS), in collaboration with scientists from Université de Montréal, McGill University, and Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), believe that tannic acid plays a role in inhibiting three important molecular pathways involved in the SARS-CoV-2 infection. Their work was published recently in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS).
Using a multidisciplinary approach, the teams showed that tannic acid inhibits the viral protein (RBD) of the British variant of SARS-CoV-2 from binding to its biological target, the ACE2 receptor. This receptor, which is found on the surface of many cells in the body, allows the virus to latch on and infect them. "Tannic acid binds to the RBD protein and prevents it from binding to the ACE2 receptor," said Professor Ramassamy. He explained that in blocking the viral protein, tannic acid does not alter the physiological functions of ACE2 receptors, which have physiological functions in the body's respiratory, cardiovascular, and renal systems, among others.

I did a lot of research into COVID inhibitors & found that several polyphenolic chemicals found in plants work in this role. A polyphenolic is an aromatic molecule with more than one phenolic hydroxyl group.
What is advertised on Amazon as lab-grade tannic acid is caveat emptor. This post is not an ad for this stuff.
Beefeater or Tanqueray?I keep the 2oz. spray bottle in my pocket whenever I leave the house, mostly alcohol with only 12-15 drops of added essential oils.
Some of the other polyphenolics that have shown anti-COVID activity:Good information.
Despite living in a densely populated metropolitan area, I've managed to keep COVID 19 at bay for more than 2 years. I have been spraying my face mask with a homemade mixture of isopropanol and essential oils, containing polyphenolic chemicals with strong antiviral properties. I usually start with a base of Tea Tree oil, but sometimes Eucalyptus, and with a few added essential oils to improve the fragrance. I keep the 2oz. spray bottle in my pocket whenever I leave the house, mostly alcohol with only 12-15 drops of added essential oils. Besides being a mask freshener, it also serves as a hand sanitizer.

Everclear 190 !!Beefeater or Tanqueray?
I'm not kidding, either. In the early days of the pandemic, it was hard to find Isopropanol on the shelves. But I never had a problem buying Everclear 190.Everclear 190 !!
I got all set up to make my own essential oils from my garden a while back, but never actually followed through. Perhaps this is the reminder I need...Everclear 190 !!
Highly toxic & a major fire hazard. Also not allowed in some states.I'm not kidding, either. In the early days of the pandemic, it was hard to find Isopropanol on the shelves. But I never had a problem buying Everclear 190.
?? Why would it be more toxic than any other Ethyl alcohol? And almost all distilled spirits are flammable, so . . . . ??Highly toxic & a major fire hazard. Also not allowed in some states.
It appears that some of you did not go to a college where grain "punch" in a giant bin was a party staple.

Everclear 190 !!
It's still rocket fuel. The Nazi V2 IRBM burned 70% ethanol/water, so a lot of energy was lost to launch that water.Above 190 it dissipates.
About 40 years ago I worked in a mechanical inspection lab in the orthopedic implant industry. We had a coordinate measuring machine with granite ways above which a cantilevered arm floated on a cushion of air. Every day we wiped them down with 200 proof - 100% ethanol - because it was the only thing that would leave absolutely no residue. It wasn't generally available to the public, but we could buy it from a laboratory supply house. I found it amusing that it still contained the exact same type of tax stamp on the cap that any bottle of liquor had.Above 190 it dissipates.
3 shots bring on alcohol poisoning. Don't light up around it. 14 states have made Everclear 190 illegal. Tasteless, unless you call the burning sensation from swallowing a shot "taste".It's still rocket fuel. The Nazi V2 IRBM burned 70% ethanol/water, so a lot of energy was lost to launch that water.

Needless to say, as small portion would always find it's way into the holiday punch, albeit quite diluted.
