      <dc:description>This study investigates the effect of daily consumption of a concentrated garlic and onion&#xd;
extract on COVID-19 symptoms among elderly nursing home residents. Volunteers consumed a&#xd;
daily capsule of the concentrated powder rich in organosulfur compounds over 36 weeks during&#xd;
lunch. The incidence and severity of COVID-19 symptoms between the treatment and control groups&#xd;
were compared, along with monitoring the safety of consumption, incidence of other diseases, and&#xd;
medicine usage. The treatment group showed a significant reduction in both the number and severity&#xd;
of COVID-19 symptoms compared to the control group, with no significant adverse effects observed.&#xd;
No significant reduction in symptom duration was detected. This study provides preliminary&#xd;
evidence that concentrated garlic and onion extract may aid in the treatment of COVID-19 among&#xd;
older adults. These findings suggest potential public health benefits, emphasizing the need for further&#xd;
research to explore the immunomodulatory properties of these natural compounds.</dc:description>
