Scientists have developed chewing gum that can safely trap the influenza virus and the viruses that cause herpes, at least in the lab. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of ...

The team looked at neutralizing herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and influenza A strains (H1N1 and H3N2) through a clinically loaded chewing gum made with lablab beans (Lablab purpureus).

Researchers have now used a clinical-grade antiviral chewing gum to substantially reduce viral loads of two herpes simplex viruses and two influenza A strains in experimental models. In today's ...

Lab testing revealed the bean gum extract caught between 75-94% of herpes simplex virus particles by causing them to clump together. When put through a machine that mimics human chewing ...

Scientists have engineered an antiviral chewing gum using a protein from lablab beans, showing promising results in neutralizing influenza and herpes simplex viruses. This innovative approach ...

Chewing gum made from beans has been shown to reduce the viral load of some strains of herpes and influenza, according to a new study from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.
