There is a lot of misinformation out there—from anecdotes disguised as evidence to excessive claims made by supplement manufacturers to TV doctors touting the latest "miracle cure."
NCCIH’s Know the Science resources can help you understand complex scientific topics that relate to health research. Knowing about the science of health can help you be discerning about what you hear and read and make well-informed health decisions.
NCCIH also has special resources about COVID-19. Visit our webpage on Coronavirus and “Alternative” Treatments and Dr. Helene Langevin’s Director’s Message Navigating Challenging Times With Scientifically Sound Resources.
“Natural” does not mean “safe” or “effective.” There are no complementary products that have been proven effective in preventing or treating COVID-19. Be wary of people seeking to take advantage of public anxiety by selling products using unsubstantiated health claims.
If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, talk to your health care provider.
