1. How virus infect us?
The infection mechanism of a virus is, if our body has an antibody to a specific virus, our antibody can catch the virus.
If not, the virus can connect to a cell joint to infect.
2. How do catechins work against viruses?
Catechins affix to the cell joints and help to inhibit the virus from connecting cells.
3. Epidemiological Research Update
This research implies 1-5 cups/day of green tea consumption help inhibiting influenza infection in children.
