The Noguchi Centre for Research has debunked claims that that COA FS has been announced by the Centre as a cure for Coronavirus.
Since the outbreak of the virus in China last year, there have been several reports suggesting the certified supplement is a ‘potential cure’ for COVID-19.
Checks by Newswatchgh.com, however, indicate that the said claims are false and had not come from the Nogushi Centre.
Executive Secretary of the Noguchi Memorial Institute of Medical Research, Theodore Ahuno in an interview with GhanaFact monitored by Newswatchgh.com said, “Noguchi has not approved COA FS… It was submitted to the Food and Drugs Authority as a food supplement. What my Director said was that if COA FS is a booster of the immune system, then it could help in the way of resolving but not curing (Coronavirus).
He emphasised that ”We didn’t say COA FS is a cure for Coronavirus. No!”
Coronavirus continues to cause havoc spreading to nearly every country in the world since it first emerged in China. In Ghana, there is currently nearly 400 positive cases and six deaths.
