Arm Description

Participants were required to take 2 mL of early harvest olive oil (normal early harvest olive oil) twice a day for three months and went through a clinical questionnaire at days 15, 30, 60 and 90. Participants were sent an envelope closed with instructions and informed consent. The primary outcome was to determine the effect of high polyphenolic olive oil on Coronavirus disease incidence, duration and severity. This study was approved by the independent ethic committee of the Hospital Nuestra Señora del Prado in Talavera de la Reina, belonging to the National Health System in Spain, and conducted in accordance with Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. This questionnaire consisted in asking about having symptoms of SARS-CoV-2 infection, fever, low fever, malaise, headache, loss of smell, runny nose, sore throat.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Immunomodulation of local immune response at the oropharyngeal mucosa can hypothetically activate mucosal immunity, which can difficult SARS-CoV-2 main immune evasion mechanisms in early stages of the disease and send an effective warning to the adaptive immune system. There are previous studies on immunotherapeutic management of upper respiratory tract infections with olive polyphenols. The investigators would like to study if participants following oromucosal immunomodulation with tiny quantities of high polyphenolic olive oil (early harvest olive oil) could have more possibilities to have less severe symptoms and a better outcome after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Intervention Name(s)
High polyphenolic olive oil. (Early harvest olive oil).
Intervention Description
High polyphenolic olive oil is normal olive oil obtained from early harvest olives, this early harvest olive oil has been widely used for culinary purposes for centuries. The investigators wanted to study if oromucosal immunoprophylaxis with small quantities of high polyphenolic olive oil (2 mL of olive oil equivalent to 5 mg of polyphenols) adiministered twice a day could have clinical mitigating effects on the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.The primary outcome was to determine the effect of high polyphenolic olive oil on Coronavirus disease incidence, duration and severity.
