Description
Bander Albogami tests quercetin and chitosan, alone and combined, against Giardia gut infection in a 2023 rat study. Standard drugs against parasites carry side effects and sometimes fail. Natural compounds might treat infection while sparing the liver and intestine.
Fifty male rats were split into control, infected, and three infected-plus-treatment groups. Quercetin is a plant flavonoid and chitosan a shell-derived fibre, both with antioxidant names. Results covered parasite clearance, liver protection, antioxidant markers, and intestinal muscle structure. The study tests whether the pairing beats either agent alone as a gentler giardiasis therapy.
