Conolidine is one of 64 powerful indole alkaloids found inside the ancient plant Tabernaemontana divaricata or more commonly known as “crepe jasmine.” Historically, this plant has been used since ancient times as a powerful pain reliever and is a staple in Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Thai medicine. Studies have confirmed that conolidine is nearly as potent as morphine in alleviating inflammatory and acute pain but is non-addicting, with few, if any, side effects. Is the indole alkaloid plant extract from GDR Labs modified to greatly increase oral bioavailability of conolidine as they claim?

Lianhua Qingwen Capsules (LQC), which are also used against seasonal influenza, have been part of China’s standard of care against COVID-19 since February 2020, and countries like Thailand and Laos have also embraced the product. LQC, composed of 13 herbs, is said to have “a curative effect in patients with mild symptoms and helps to relieve fever, cough and fatigue,” and may also “help prevent the disease from worsening.” Research shows patients who received LQC along with “usual treatment” had improved recovery rates compared to controls (91.5% versus 82.4%). They also recovered faster (seven versus 10 days). Are these data accurate and of practical significance for COVID-19 disease management?
