A Report on the Antiviral Activity of Oleandrin and Extracts Containing It

When it comes to oleandrin and oleander products, there has been an abundance of reporting merely propagating the ignorant opinion of others. As scientists, we turn to experimental data for guidance. We invite you to do the same.

The publication, “Antiviral Effects of Oleandrin“, reports on the extremely high direct antiviral activity of oleandrin and extracts containing it against a broad spectrum of enveloped viruses. Apparently, a key aspect of the antiviral activity is a significant reduction in the infectivity of progeny virus particles. This activity is exhibited at extremely low concentrations.
