Quebec researchers have identified a “kind” of vitamin that would prevent infection altogether.

Professor Nabil Seidah, laboratory director at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute, told Le Devoir newspaper that he “found quite unexpectedly” that swallowing a gram of L-carnitine every day “reduces the risk that the virus will infect”.

According to his team’s recently published study, when this molecule of L-carnitine (an animal by-product) enters human cells, it “significantly decreases the number of ACE2 receptors” on the surface of said cells. ACE2 receptors act as an entry point for the virus into our cells.

L-carnitine “enters the cell and asks the cell to synthesize less of this receptor”, explains Nabil Seidah. “[The molecule] decreases the number of surface receptors and decreases the risk of the virus infecting you. »

The logic of this study implies that this preventive remedy could apply to other coronaviruses, because “most coronaviruses have an ACE2, but this is not always the case”.

L-carnitine “is sold everywhere, in the aisle of organic products,” says Mr. Seidah.
