NoriZite contains two main ingredients, iota-carrageenan, an antiviral agent known for inhibiting infection against several respiratory viruses {3} and gellan gum, which enables extensive coverage and retention in the nasal cavity. Both are polysaccharides that coat and retain virus particles, so they do not infect the local cells.

The spray has been formulated at the Healthcare Technologies Institute at the University of Birmingham.

Laboratory studies at the University of Birmingham have shown that the NoriZite formulation can prevent contraction and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in cell culture. The research confirmed the complete inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection up to 48h when exposed to the carrageenan/gellan blend.{3g}

Follow-up lab studies at the University of Birmingham have indicated that NoriZite™ is also effective against Alpha, Delta and Omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2 in cell culture. Birmingham Biotech plans to test the efficacy of the product against other SARS-CoV-2 variants, as well as other viruses causing common cold and flu including rhinovirus, influenza viruses, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), in the future.

How safe is the oral spray?

The two main ingredients – iota-carrageenan and gellan gum – are natural polymers that have well established use within the food and medical industries.

Iota-carrageenan has been extensively used in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. It is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the United States Food and Drug Administration and is also considered safe for the general population by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) administrated jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority.

Gellan gum is a gelling agent, initially approved as a food additive, that has subsequently been approved for other non-food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical uses by many regulators, including in the USA and EU.
