A U.S. Department of Agriculture research team tested phytochemical-rich food as natural therapeutic agents against Trichomonas infections in humans and animals without harming beneficial gut microbes. They reported that theaflavin extracts from black tea were the most successful at inhibiting trichomonad growth.
Their findings were published in the science journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
The researchers concluded that theaflavin extracts from black tea could serve as an alternative therapy for trichomoniasis in humans and animals.
