Fruits have been widely consumed since the beginning of human evolution and are important source a healthy being helpful in treating various diseases as immunity boosters with presence rich amount health-promoting bioactives. Therapeutic efficacies fruit extracts reported to immune-modulatory properties influence greatly on immune system body. Given facts efficacy edible fruits improving body immune-stimulants, we tried consolidate previously published data its juices antiviral potential. The objective this review was gather information efforts obtain their efficient delivery. Online bibliographical databases like PubMed, Scopus, Web Science were used search literature effect juices. almond, apple, bael, blackberry, black currants, crane berry, citrus, grapes, Japanese cherry, mango, mulberry, pistachios, pomegranate, strawberry showed promising against different pathogenic viruses. provided an overview likely effects intake extracts/fruit strengthen cells by reducing oxidative stress host which turn inhibits viral attachment replication cell. Hence these can also be exploited combating COVID-19 current pandemic situation. To validate present hypothesis, proposed evaluated SARS-CoV-2 via vitro vivo models confirm fact.
