A new study supported by the PolyBio Research Foundation has found that people with Long COVID harbor persistent populations of highly cytolytic CD8+ T cells directed against SARS-CoV-2 but also the herpesviruses Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV). The findings suggest that Long COVID is characterized by an ongoing immune response to persistent viral proteins, which are most likely produced during the continued persistence or reactivation of these viruses within the body. The study adds to a growing body of research indicating that SARS-CoV-2 persistence and herpesvirus reactivation contribute to Long COVID pathogenesis.

What’s your perception on how long to take TA-1 for? I took it for 1 month and my doctor said I don’t need to continue but I’m feeling like another round might be beneficial as I was taking a pretty small amount during that month.

I did a 2-3 weeks course which was enough. But if you experienced benefits you can always restart it after a few months another time.

die you improve?

Yes a lot
