In this study, researchers from Fudan University in China investigated the effects of a polysaccharide extracted from Houttuynia cordata on the intestinal barrier and gut microbiota of mice infected with the H1N1 virus. The results of their study were published in the Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines.
Based on these results, the researchers concluded that HCP can be used to prevent intestinal damage and gut microbiota imbalance caused by H1N1 viral infection.
