Aplikasi Edit Video Android Gratis 2020 + Link Download



Di zaman yang serba instan dengan perkembangan teknologi yang sangat pesat ini, banyak orang yang menginginkan kecepatan dan kepraktisan di setiap layanannya. Maka tak heran apabila banyak sekali perusahaan berlomba-lomba untuk menyediakan “layanan instan” untukmu. Salah satunya adalah edit video.
Jika dulu mengedit video hanya bisa di PC, berkat perkembangan teknologi, kini kamu bisa melakukannya di Android maupun iOS. Ya, telepon genggam mungilmu yang kini disebut smartphone tersebut, kini bisa berfungsi layaknya PC untuk mengedit video.
Unsur praktis dan instan yang menjadi karakteristik smartphone, membuat banyak developer mengembangkan aplikasi edit video yang tak hanya mudah digunakan, namun juga berikan fitur cepat bagi kamu yang ngga mau ribet namun menginginkan hasil yang bisa dibilang cukup oke.
Memang, hasilnya tak bisa sebagus PC, terlebih dengan berbagai kustomisasi yang rasanya cukup tidak mungkin dilakukan di Android. Namun mengingat fungsinya adalah kecepatan dan kepraktisan, aplikasi edit video Android bisa dibilang sangat oke untuk ukuran Android dan sangat kami rekomendasikan untuk didownload. Lalu, apa saja aplikasinya? Berikut rekomendasi kami.

7. Filmora Go


Profesional dan terdepan, itulah slogan yang dimiliki Filmora Go. Sama seperti aplikasi edit video PC, Filmora Go miliki nyaris semua opsi yang dimiliki aplikasi PC. Kamu tak hanya bisa membuat slideshow dari gambar, foto, hingga video, namun juga melakukan editing dasar seperti trimming, merge, crop, tambahkan musik, tambahkan suara, hingga memutar videomu.
Kamu juga bisa tambahkan efek seperti filter, teks animasi, motion element, hingga bumper. Kamu tak mau ribet? Kamu juga bisa memilih template yang telah mereka sediakan. Yang perlu kamu lakukan adalah menambahkan elemen yang ingin kamu edit. Mulai dari gambar maupun video, gunakan template yang diinginkan, dan selesai tinggal render.

6. Magisto


Mengedit video dengan cepat, itulah yang disandang Magisto sebagai aplikasi edit video gratis android. Kamu hanya perlu melakukan tiga langkah penting untuk melakukannya. Yang pertama adalah mengambil gambar maupun video, memilih musik, lalu menambahkan judul/bumper video.
Magisto akan mengubahnya secara otomatis dan jadikannya video musik bagi kamu yang tak ingin ribet mengedit video. Sebuah aplikasi yang sangat cocok bagi kamu sosialita Indonesia dan para Gen Z dan generasi milenial zaman now (bukan zaman old).

5. WeVideo


WeVideo disebut sebagai aplikasi video editor cloud-based. Ini berarti kamu bisa mengedit video melalui drive cloud yang telah mereka sediakan. Ia miliki tema unik dan musik sesuai proyekmu. Kamu bisa mempublish karyamu setelah renderan rampung melalui platform sosial media yang mereka dukung.
Sayangnya, kamu harus mengupload terlebih dahulu video yang ingin kamu edit dan mendownloadnya setelah rampung dirender. Menguntungkan memang, karena kamu tak perlu khawatir HPmu lemot saat merender video karena aplikasinya berbasis cloud server. Namun di sisi lain merugikan dirimu yang fakir kuota.

4. Quik


Kamu pengguna action camera GoPro mungkin akan terbantu dengan adanya Quik. Aplikasi edit video Android ini bisa terhubung dengan smartphonemu. Sesuai namanya yang merupakan plesetan dari kata “Quick” yang berarti cepat, Quik mampu mengedit video tanpa ribet. Kamu bisa menambahkan hingga 50 foto dan video baik dari smartphone, facebook, maupun instagram untuk diedit secara otomatis oleh aplikasi tersebut.
Quik miliki berbagai efek transisi, judul, filter, musik, dan tambahan efek lain untuk membuat videomu unik dan berbeda dari yang lain.

3. Adobe Premiere Rush


Nama Adobe bukan nama yang asing lagi di dunia editing baik gambar, vector, layout, audio, vfx, hingga video. Jika umumnya aplikasi mereka sangat fokus pada PC, kali ini mereka mencoba untuk sambangi Android dan iOS menggunakan Premiere Rush. Berbeda dengan aplikasi PCnya yang berbayar, Premiere Rush bisa kamu download secara cuma-cuma.
Kamu bisa menggunakannya sama persis dengan versi PCnya namun lebih cepat dan menyenangkan. Ia miliki custom music dan efek sendiri. Menariknya, berbeda dari versi PC, versi Androidnya miliki template video yang mungkinkanmu membuat video slide gambar secara otomatis, jika kamu terlalu mager dan malas untuk melakukannya. Setelah video rampung kamu kerjakan, kamu juga bisa mengeditnya di versi PC menggunakan cloud save.

2. PowerDirector


Melakukan vlog akan mudah berkat bantuan PowerDirector. Aplikasi edit video dari Cyberlink tersebut mungkin pernah kamu temukan versi PCnya. Kini, ia merambah ke Android untuk memudahkan para generasi instan untuk mengedit video secara portabel.
Sama seperti aplikasi Android lain, PowerDirector miliki kemudahan yang mungkinkanmu mengedit video untuk Instagram Story, IGTV, hingga YouTube. Kamu bisa mengedit videomu secara vertikal maupun horizontal dengan sangat mudah menggunakan aplikasi edit video tersebut. Cyberlink juga telah menyediakan berbagai template yang bisa kamu gunakan on the go. Sayangnya ia miliki watermark jika kamu tidak mengupgradenya ke versi premium.

1. KineMaster


Siapa tak kenal KineMaster? Aplikasi edit video tersohor untuk mobile ini memang tak pernah berhenti untuk terus berinovasi. Ia merupakan salah satu aplikasi edit video Android pertama yang miliki fitur layaknya edit video di PC, namun dengan kepraktisan layaknya aplikasi Android.
Kamu akan dihadapkan dengan timeline yang miliki lebih dari satu layer untuk mempermudah proses editing, menambahkan elemen, hingga menumpuk beberapa layer menjadi satu layaknya software edit video PC. Sayang, kamu wajib membeli aplikasinya jika kamu ingin menghilangkan watermarknya. Tapi, hey, kenapa tidak untuk aplikasi yang bagus seperti ini?

Bagaimana? Apakah kamu sudah mencoba semuanya? Aplikasi apa yang menurutmu menjadi yang terbaik dari daftar di atas? Atau, mungkin kamu punya rekomendasi aplikasi edit video lain? Seperti biasa, kamu bisa cantumkan melalui komentar saat kami mempublish artikel ini di page facebook kami.

[RUMOR PS5] Game Spider-Man PS5 akan Tampilkan Venom, Mysterio, dan Variasi Gameplay saat Berayun


Lanjutkan pula cerita dari game Spider-Man PS4

Kesuksesan Insomniac dalam merilis game Marvel’s Spider-Man di tahun 2018 lalu telah benar-benar membawakan suatu kepercayaan yang penting bagi Sony. Setelah sukses diakuisisi sebagai developer first party milik Sony pada tahun 2019 kemarin, tentu banyak harapan yang seolah siap diembankan oleh developer asal California ini.
mengembangkan sekuel dari game Marvel’s Spider-Man digadang-gadang akan menjadi misi yang hendak ditempuhnya. Melalui rumor yang baru-baru ini berhembus di forum Reddit, Insomniac dikabarkan tengah ingin melanjutkan petualangan sang tokoh Peter Parker di konsol yang tentunya lebih terkini seperti PS5.
Ceritanya akan lebih banyak berpusat ke “Venom” ?
Dispekulasikan siap rilis pada sekitaran akhir 2021 nanti, game Spider-Man 2 ini akan menghadirkan kelanjutan cerita dari versi PS4-nya. Terutama dalam pengambilan setting 5 hingga 6 bulan pada musim dingin setelah event di Marvel’s Spider-Man 1 berakhir. Rumor pun menyebut bahwa karakter Venom (Eddie Brock) dan Harry Osborn akan menjadi fokus utama. Dimana tentu itu bukanlah suatu hal yang mengejutkan apabila kamu sempat memainkan versi prekuelnya.
Lalu, Spider-Man 2 juga akan siap memperkenalkan musuh-musuh ikonik lain seperti Carnage dan Mysterio. Plus tak ketinggalan dengan plot mengenai rencana perusahaan Oscorp dalam proyek eksperimen super soldier.
Di lain sisi, peran Miles Morales sebagai karakter playable secara unik masih tetap ikut dimunculkan. Namun tidak lagi dengan porsi gameplay yang terkesan linear, atau dalam arti kamu sudah bisa bereksplorasi secara lebih bebas ketika mengendalikan dirinya. Seolah ingin memberi petunjuk bahwa Morales mungkin akan mulai bisa berperan menjadi seorang Spider-Man yang baru, rumor berikut juga seakan mengkonfirmasikan bisanya kamu untuk berganti-ganti karakter di saat bertarung ala game Batman Arkham Knight.
Sementara bila membahas mengenai Mekanik Spider-Man dalam mengeluarkan jaring laba-labanya demi berayun, game Spider-Man baru ini kabarnya ingin memberikan sebuah bentuk penyempurnaan yang lebih imersif. Contoh utamanya adalah dari penambahan variasi animasi gerakan Spidey ketika berayun-ayun dari satu tempat ke tempat lain agar tak terkesan monoton. Pihak insomniac bahkan kabarnya telah menyiapkan 2 orang animator yang akan secara khusus mengerjakan aspek ini.
Sistem maupun caramu dalam berayun pun akan dihadirkan dalam 3 mode yang penamaannya masih belum final, yakni seperti dalam mode Realistic (murni bersifat pyshics ala game Spider-Man 2), Arcade (tawarkan mode asistensi), dan Hybrid (gabungan dari keduanya yang terasa mirip seperti game Spider-Man PS4). Sisanya, ada pula penambahan “Web Chain” mekanik yang memungkinkanmu untuk bisa menggabungkan jaring-jaring yang dikeluarkan ke sejumlah titik tempat yang berbeda agar kamu dapat lebih mudah berpindah dengan praktis nan cepat.
Karena termasuk sebagai sebuah rumor, tentu ada baiknya bila informasi ini jangan kamu telan secara mentah-mentah.

Capai 1 Milyar User, Microsoft Bagikan Video Pendek Perubahan Tampilan Windows 10


image courtesy, Microsoft
Windows merupakan salah satu sistem operasi paling populer yang digunakan pada komputer/laptop di seluruh dunia. Bahkan user awam pun lebih mengenal Windows ketimbang beberapa sistem operasi lainnya seperti Linux maupun MacOS. Bahkan versi Windows terakhirnya, yaitu Windows 10 berhasil memperoleh pencapaian terbarunya telah digunakan oleh 1 milyar user atau bahkan lebih diseluruh penjuru dunia.
Seperti yang dilansir dari The Verge, baru-baru ini bahkan Microsoft pamerkan sebuah video pendek yang memperlihatkan perjalanan Windows dari versi Windows 98 hingga Windows 10. Yang menarik adalah kita dapat melihat perubahan logo Windows pada tombol ikonik ‘Start‘ dari versi jadul hingga kini, bahkan perubahan Windows 10 yang kini mulai mengadaptasi desain icon baru yang lebih segar dan berwarna dengan fluent design seperti yang mereka sebutkan sebelumnya. Dalam video pendek tersebut kita juga dapat melihat fitur yang belum kita lihat sebelumnya yang mengusung ‘modern context menu‘  hingga tampilan ‘file explorer’ dengan tampilan icon folder yang baru.


Pencapaian angka 1 milyar user pengguna Windows 10 ini juga berhasil mengungguli sistem operasi Windows yang sebelumnya populer seperti Windows XP bahkan Windows 7 yang dahulu begitu digemari banyak user diseluruh dunia. Menurut laporan dari website Net Applications market share Windows 10 mencapai 56% atau dua kali lipat bahkan lebih dari Windows 7 yang hanya berada di angka 26 %
Kalo kamu masih pake Windows apa nih brott ? kalo kentang mania si pake Windows XP juga gapapa kan xD.

Call of Duty: Warzone Review – Battle Royale dengan Kecepatan Hakiki


Battle Royale mungkin genre yang telah letih kamu dengar di tahun 2020. Tak sama seperti yang sempat dipopulerkan oleh PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, genre dengan konsep 100 player dalam satu arena dan miliki mekanik last man standing ini terkesan sudah basi. Pasalnya, sejak kepopuleran game buatan Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene tersebut, banyak kompetitor yang mulai mengikuti jejaknya.
Persaingannya yang paling kuat ada pada Fortnite yang meski tak begitu laris di pasar Indonesia, namun Epic Games selaku developernya mampu kuasai pasar barat. Saking populernya, banyak orang awam yang mengenalinya. Menjadikannya “fenomena” gila dengan dramanya di internet maupun pemerintah.
Genre tersebut kemudian kedatangan kompetitor baru. Mereka adalah Respawn Entertainment dengan Apex Legends buatannya. Respawn mencoba menggempur battle royale dengan balutan hero-shooter. Mereka juga sukses bersaing dengan raksasa Fortnite dan menjadikan sebuah fenomena baru meskipun sempat drama akibat monetisasinya yang kurang adil.
Namun seiring berjalannya waktu, popularitas genrenya semakin menurun dan terkesan biasa saja. Ia masih diminati oleh mereka yang setia di genrenya. Meskipun demikian, banyak sekali developer maupun publisher yang percaya akan kekuatan battle royale. Salah satunya adalah Activision.
Setelah sukses dengan Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout Mode yang tawarkan permainan battle royale semi sci-fi-nya. Activision masih berusaha mendulang kesuksesannya dengan Call of Duty: Warzone, mode battle royale dari Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019. Lantas, apakah game mereka mampu melakukannya?

Bisa Dimainkan Oleh Siapapun

Meski disebut mode baru bagi mereka yang telah miliki Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019. Pada kenyataannya, Warzone merupakan game free-to-play standalone yang bisa dimainkan oleh siapapun. Benar sekali, siapapun yang tak memiliki gamenya bisa memainkannya. Sebuah strategi gila untuk saingi dua game besar dengan genre serupa.
Sayangnya, kamu yang tak memiliki gamenya wajib mendownloadnya sebesar kurang lebih 100GB. Sebuah momok yang menyeramkan bagi mereka yang fakir kuota, maupun mereka yang memiliki kecepatan internet lambat. Ini dikarenakan kemungkinan Activision dan Infinity Ward tak mau agar player yang memutuskan untuk membeli gamenya setelah mencoba Warzone untuk mendownload filenya lagi.

Sementara, kamu yang telah memiliki gamenya “hanya” perlu mendownload sekitar 15-16GB di PlayStation 4 dan 20-25GB di PC.
Strategi gratis Warzone juga merupakan salah satu cara untuk menjaring player baru, agar tertarik dengan produk yang versi barunya kini sudah tak lagi dijual di Steam tersebut. Terlebih dengan crossplay yang tetap memberikan populasi yang padat bagi gamenya setelah beberapa bulan maupun tahun ke depan.
Saat review ini ditulis, Warzone miliki dua mode utama dalam gamenya: Battle Royale dan Plunder. Plunder adalah sebuah mode baru yang menyoroti “uang” sebagai permainan utamanya. Saya akan jelaskan lebih lanjut nanti.

Battle Royale 150 Player dengan Map Super Luas

Lalu, seperti apa battle royalenya? Simplenya, Warzone adalah game battle royale namun dengan mekanik shooter ala Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019. Bisa kamu bayangkan bagaimana permainannya yang super cepat dipadu dengan map super luas. Saya mengatakan super luas karena mapnya mampu menampung 150 player. Ya, bukan 100 player seperti permainan battle royale pada umumnya.
Mode battle royalenya sendiri wajibkanmu untuk miliki 3 player dalam satu tim. Hingga detik ini Infinity Ward belum menambahkan mode lain selain tiga player, baik solo maupun duo. Memaksamu untuk terus bermain bersama dua player lain saat memainkannya.

DirectX 12 Ultimate from Microsoft Guarantees Game Views to be Cooler


More detailed, cooler, without using many sources.
The visual appearance of video games is growing more rapidly along with technological developments. One example is NVIDIA who did raytracing branding using RTX a few years ago. Now, it's Microsoft's turn to improve it using DirectX 12 Ultimate in 2020.
DirectX 12 Ultimate will become the new standard for video game visual display. They worked with two large manufacturers such as AMD and NVIDIA to combine an API, so that it could be used by developers both to develop the game on a PC or console.


DirectX 12 Ultimate will become the new standard for video game visual display. They worked with two large manufacturers such as AMD and NVIDIA to combine an API, so that it could be used by developers both to develop the game on a PC or console.

However, not all graphics cards are supported by DirectX 12 Ultimate. Only a few, such as the NVIDIA RTX series, belong to him. While the red team that plans to release a new graphics card this year with RDNA 2 support must wait even longer. At least close to the release date of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
Here are the new DirectX 12 Ultimate features:
  • Direct X Raytracing (DXR) 1.0 dan 1.1
  • Variable rate shading: Enables the system to load lower by varying visual display shading without compromising its quality.
  • Mesh shader: A simpler version of pipeline geometry to help reduce the possibility of bottlenecks.
  • Feedback sampler: Allows developers to capture and record texture sampling information and locations to improve texture streaming and texture-space shading. An important feature that must be given when rendering in 4K resolution.
The above feature is a feature that is actually quite old. This is because the feature was announced in 2019 ago. Now, they only re-branding by adding "Ultimate".

How slower network speeds can benefit big data


CIOs and big data planners need to put on their financial hats and think about the cost of data transport.

There isn't a company or a communications provider that isn't thinking about the importance of 5G networks, which promise low latency and data transfer speeds that can be as much as 100 times faster than their 4G network counterparts. The benefit of these high-speed networks for big data payloads goes without saying, but there are also cases where paying the extra money for 5G or even 4G capability doesn't make sense, even with big data.

SEE: Special report: How to win with prescriptive analytics (free PDF) (TechRepublic)
Capitalizing on the benefits that slower data transport such as 2G or even 0G networks can bring to the world of Internet of Things (IoT) are companies like Sigfox, which offers a global "slow G" communications network for operators in the logistics industry.

"Our focus is on asset tracking," said Ajay Rane, vice president of Sigfox global business development. "Companies often find improved returns on investment (ROI) for the assets they are tracking when they can reduce the cost of the communications they are paying for." Rane cited the example of trucks transporting apples.
"The apples might be worth $50 to $100 per pallet," he said. "Companies can ask themselves if it is worth it to have high-power communications for their networks, given the relatively low value of the cargo. In these cases, there is an advantage to using communications with speeds at the 2G or 0-G level, because it is significantly less expensive, and you can get to ROI faster."
SEE: How disaster relief workers are using data analytics to support and measure their efforts (free PDF) (TechRepublic)
Here is a case in point: A large tire manufacturer wants to track its containers that various third-party logistics (3PL) companies are picking up and delivering to stores.  The goal is to determine the best route for each container, and the strategy is to track the routes of each 3PL and determine which 3PL is the best delivery and cost choice for each route.
In this case, IoT big data is tracked, but the incoming data doesn't need to be real-time or near real-time--it just has to be gathered for the purposes of analytics. The decision in this case is to use 2G data transfer speeds because the data doesn't need to be delivered in real time. There is also substantial cost savings and ROI that can be more rapidly achieved.
Use cases like this can be applied to other big data processing at less cost, but are enough companies doing it?
Network, bandwidth, and data transfer speeds should be an integral part of big data planning, but as companies grapple with getting the right types of data, developing business-operative analytics and transforming their businesses, network considerations can often assume a subordinate position. As a result, the default can be to run the data over a 4G network—when the ROI on the communications may not warrant it.

SEE: Big data management tips (free PDF) (TechRepublic)
"There are many company assets that may not offer the value to warrant an expensive deployment of a 4G or higher network," Rane said. "A basic chipset for these networks might go for as high as $100. For a 2G network, the cost is more like $20."
This is why CIOs and big data planners need to put on their financial hats and think about data transport as much as they consider the mechanics of gathering the right types of data and delivering impactful analytics. They will be able to deliver the best big data analytics results and value for business decision-making—and also the best results for the bottom line.

Coronavirus and Strengthening the Immune System


By Dr. Michael Murray
In this article:
  • Simple Steps to Boosting Your Immune System

  • Vitamin D is Critical to Immune Health

  • Optimize Intake with Liposomal Vitamin C

  • Natural Approaches to Boosting Immune Health

  • If You are Concerned About the Coronavirus

Prior to this recent outbreak of the Wuhan coronavirus, it is likely that most people had never heard of this strain of virus even though other forms have caused significant outbreaks in the past. Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that cause diseases in humans and other mammals, birds, bats, and reptiles. When humans are infected most forms of the virus cause mild respiratory infections but, as we have seen with the Wuhan coronavirus, in rare cases a coronavirus infection can be lethal. 
With increased attention, many people are asking what they can do to help protect themselves from a coronavirus. While washing your hands, wearing a mask, and avoiding travel are key precautions, it is also important to focus on building a stronger immune system. In a previous article, I discussed natural approaches to addressing low immune function. With a strong immune system, you are safer from attack by all but the most virulent microorganisms. It is also likely that you would experience fewer colds or viral infections and have better overall resistance to infections. 

Simple Steps to Boosting Your Immune System

The principles involved in boosting your immune system are quite simple. The first goal is to make sure that you provide the immune system with vital nutrients by consuming a health-promoting diet and utilizing proper nutritional supplementation. A deficiency of virtually any single nutrient can significantly impair immunity. The next step is following a healthy lifestyle that includes getting enough sleep and engaging in a regular exercise program. Supplying optimal nutrition and learning to effectively deal with stress go a long way in supporting central control mechanisms to keep the immune system functioning in a peak state. Boosting your immune system not only increases your resistance to colds and flu and other infections but also can help protect yourself against chronic diseases.

Key Steps to Boosting Your Immune System

  • A healthy lifestyle is essential for immunity. Be sure to eat a healthy diet, exercise, avoid toxins, maintain appropriate body weight, and get enough sleep.
  • Stress lowers immunity. Take steps to manage stress. Practice techniques to activate the relaxation response, such as breathing exercises, visualization, or meditation.
  • Avoid refined sugars and saturated fats, but make sure you get plenty of quality protein and essential fatty acids.
  • Take a high-quality multivitamin and mineral supplement. Vitamins C and E, B vitamins, zinc, and selenium are especially important.
  • Take extra vitamin C, 500 to 1,000 mg up to three times per day or consider taking liposomal vitamin C at a dosage of 1,000 mg once or twice daily.
  • Boost your vitamin D levels. Take 2,000 to 5,000 IU daily.
  • Take a clinically proven immune-enhancing product.

Vitamin D is Critical to Immune Health

Everyone knows how important vitamin D is good for healthy bones, but its role in human health goes well beyond that. Modern research now shows that vitamin D targets over 2,000 genes (about 10% of the human genome) in the human body. It is now known that low levels of vitamin D can contribute to the development of at least 17 varieties of cancer as well as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, depression, and many more common health conditions. As it relates to preventing the flu, here is what is known:
  • Individuals who have vitamin D blood levels lower than 38 ng/ml had twice as many upper respiratory tract infections as those with higher levels.
  • Children that took 1,200 IU of vitamin D daily reduced their risk of developing the flu by 58 percent. 
  • Women taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D (to protect bones) had an average of 30% fewer cold and flu episodes compared to women taking 200 IU of vitamin D.
Since it is estimated that one out of every two Americans is likely to have blood levels below 20 ng/ml, widespread vitamin D supplementation may prove to be more effective and less costly than conventional flu shots. To ensure optimal vitamin D status, recently most health experts, myself included, are advocating daily dosages of 2,000 to 5,000 IU, even in apparently healthy adults. The research definitely supports this higher dosage level, especially during the winter months. 

Optimize Intake with Liposomal Vitamin C

Liposomal vitamin C is an advanced form of vitamin c designed for better absorption and utilization within the body. Liposomes are small spherical cells that are composed of an outer layer made of fatty acids known as phospholipids derived from either sunflower or soy. Liposomes also have an inner compartment composed of water and water-soluble active ingredients. The water-soluble ingredient like vitamin C is protected within the inner compartment by the liposomal structure. 
The primary advantage of liposomal vitamin C is improved absorption. The ability of our intestinal cells to uptake higher doses of vitamin C has a threshold. That is why higher doses of vitamin C can cause excessive gas and/or diarrhea. The bioavailability of liposomal vitamin C is significantly greater than regular vitamin C, it is taken up into the body at almost double the level that of regular vitamin C. Liposomal vitamin C is often promoted as an oral alternative to getting an intravenous (IV) dosage of vitamin C. Take 1,000 mg once or twice daily for added protection during the cold and flu season.

Natural Approaches to Boosting Immune Health

There are no natural products with proven clinical efficacy against the coronavirus, but there are several that make a lot of sense to provide general support. Here are some of the best considerations:

Epicor and Wellmune

Epicor and Wellmune are special preparations produced from Baker’s yeast via proprietary processes. Both are a rich source of beta-glucan and other immune-enhancing compounds. Both Epicor and Wellmune also have been shown to be effective in boosting immune function in humans in a total of over 20 clinical trials. For example, EpiCor has been shown to increase the levels of secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) as well as enhance natural killer (NK) cell function. Secretory IgA protects the lining of our mucus membranes from infection while NK cells are a type of white blood cell that circulates in our blood to destroy foreign cells. There have been eight double-blind, placebo-controlled trials with Epicor in humans. The most relevant to viral infections were studies conducted in both adults who had received a flu shot and those who had not. In both cases, EpiCor supplementation at a dosage of 500 mg daily had a beneficial effect on reducing the incidence of cold and flu symptoms. Wellmune has also been shown to be effective in preventing upper respiratory viral infections (colds and the flu) in double-blind studies. In one of these study results, the subjects taking Wellmune (500 mg daily) reported:
  • No missed work or school due to colds, compared with 1.38 days of work/school missed for the placebo group.
  • No incidence of fever, compared with 3.50 incidence in the placebo group.
  • An increase in quality of life, including physical energy and emotional well-being, as measured by a clinically validated health survey questionnaire.

Monolaurin 

Monolaurin is a fat found in coconut oil that is also available as a dietary supplement. It exerts some interesting antiviral effects with confirmed activity to viruses similar to coronavirus. Many viruses, as well as bacteria and protozoa (parasites) are enveloped by a protective membrane composed of fatty substances (lipids). Current research indicates that monolaurin dissolves lipids in the fatty envelope, basically disintegrating the organisms’ protective shield and causing them to be easily destroyed by the immune system. Though monolaurin has not been studied on coronavirus, it may have some benefit. The typical dosage of monolaurin in 1,000-1,500 mg twice daily. 

Serratia Peptidase 

Serratia peptidase or serrapeptase is a digestive enzyme that also helps keeps mucus secretions in an optimal state – not too thick and not too watery. Originally isolated from a bacteria that resides in the intestines of the silkworm, it is also called “silkworm” enzyme as it is what breaks down the cocoon to free the silk moth. In addition to its nonspecific effect on host defenses against infection, serrapeptase was recently shown to exert antiviral effects by digesting proteins that coat the virus. Other proteolytic enzymes, e.g., bromelain, may also be effective. The dosage for serrapeptase is based upon enzyme activity: 80,000-100,000 SPUs twice daily between meals on an empty stomach.

Astragalus Root

Astragalus root (Astragalus membranaceus) is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat viruses . Clinical studies in China have validated it is effective when used as a preventive measure against the common cold. It has also been shown to reduce the duration and severity of symptoms in acute treatment of the common cold, as well as raise white blood cell counts in chronic leukopenia (a condition characterized by low white blood cell levels). Research in animals indicates that astragalus apparently works by stimulating several factors of the immune system. In particular, it appears to stimulate white blood cells to engulf and destroy invading organisms and cellular debris as well as enhance the production of interferon (a key natural compound produced by the body to fight viruses). Follow label instructions.

If You are Concerned About the Coronavirus...

If you have had close contact with someone who is confirmed to have, or being evaluated for, 2019-nCoV infection, you should monitor your health starting from the day you first had close contact with the person and continue for 14 days after you last had close contact with the person. Watch for these signs and symptoms:
  • Fever. Take your temperature twice a day.
  • Coughing.
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing.
  • Chills, body aches, sore throat, headache, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, and runny nose.
If you develop fever or any of these symptoms, it is important to be evaluated by your healthcare provider right away.
