This clinical trial, known as ICE-COVID, is being carried out by Swansea Trials Unit, Swansea University and the Joint Clinical Research Facility at Swansea Bay University Health Board. This is a chance to help with potentially ground-breaking research on preventing Covid-19 infection.”Ĭarragelose, a patented version of iota-carrageenan, is already clinically proven to help shorten the duration and severity of cold and flu-like symptoms, and a new in-vitro (test tube) laboratory study results suggest that Carragelose could also reduce the risk of an infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes Covid-19. They are expanding the research and now want to hear from either key workers, such as teachers, police or local authority staff or anyone who continues to interact with members outside their household for work, study or volunteering, who would like to be part of this important project.ĭr Zita Jessop, who is leading the research, said: “We have already recruited frontline NHS staff and are now opening this study to key workers who have not previously tested positive for Covid-19 and not yet received their vaccination. Scientists at Swansea University are investigating if Carragelose, which contains a form of seaweed, could prevent the Covid-19 illness or reduce severity of symptoms.
