As a result, this membrane is not able to fuse with the membranes of human cells and the virus cannot enter the cells.

Ostroumova also added that the substances studied in the future may become the basis for the creation of effective dietary supplements for the prevention of coronavirus.

The fact that piperine is able to protect the body against infection with the coronavirus has also been previously reported by TV presenter Elena Malysheva. According to her, this substance interacts with the SARS-Cov-2 protein to cause the virus to die. She added that most of the piperine is not found in black pepper, but in white pepper.
