The Claim
Nitric oxide nasal spray reduces viral infectivity by over 3 log10 (>99.9%) within 2 minutes in vitro against SARS-CoV-2 variants including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omicron BA.1, and XBB 2.0, with inactivation occurring within 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on the variant.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
A nose spray with nitric oxide quickly kills over 99.9% of the COVID-19 virus and its variants in lab tests, working in as little as 30 seconds.
See the scientific wording
Nitric oxide nasal spray (NONS) reduces viral infectivity by over 3 log10 (>99.9%) within 2 minutes in vitro against SARS-CoV-2 variants including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omicron BA.1, and XBB 2.0, with inactivation occurring within 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on the variant.
What the research says
1 studyThe study shows that the nitric oxide nasal spray quickly kills the COVID-19 virus and its variants in lab tests, just like the claim says.
