Scientists have created chewing gum that can protect against herpes and flu, Oddity Central writes.

Scientists from Finland and the United States have developed a gum that can neutralize the flu and herpes viruses. Innovative products are based on natural fril protein, which was received from Lablab Purpureus beans. The study published in the magazine in Molecular Therapy showed that gum could effectively reduce the viral load, preventing the spread of infections.

Laboratory tests have confirmed the efficiency of processing. Using the mechanical model of the oral cavity, scientists have found that 15 minutes of chewing chewing more than half of antiviral protein, reducing the concentration of flu viruses by 95%. It took 160 mg and 74 mg of protein, respectively, for HSV-1 and HSV-2 herpes.

Developers emphasize that the invention corresponds to both food and medicine safety standards. Chewing gum maintains its properties at room temperature for 800 days, which makes it convenient for mass production and maintenance.

Scientists plan to start clinical trials in the near future with people's participation.
