Quercetin?

[matrips]

I hope i spelled it right.  I had never heard of it before some boat dies mentioned it to help with covid19.

can you tell me more as to how much you take, and what brand?  Would it only be after exposure?

recs for zinc and c appreciated too! We do take Vit D already.

I take Quercetin regularly.  I have trouble with allergies and inflammation and it helps with both.  I take 1000 mg of Quercetin but most people would only take 500 mg  (1000 if you had an active case). 

I take 15 mg. zinc (up to 30 mg if I am sick). 

I take 1000 mg. vitamin C.

All of my supplements are by Pure Encapsulations.  But there are other good companies out there.

Daily:

I am currently taking a powder Quercitin. 500 mg daily for allergies inflammation and prevention.  

( I used to have Quercitin as part of my Aller C brand vitamin C.  )

My zinc is zinc picolinate 15mg capsule by Thorne

My current C is Solaray 1000 mg capsule.  

I would take more of all of these if I had known exposure or was feeling sick. 

I also try to eat Quercitin rich foods.

Oops!!!   Thanks for pointing that out!  I originally got it for my dog’s allergies and didn’t look carefully—mine probably is China sourced!!

 

It looks like NOW brand is not China source.  It includes Bromelain which is fine with me.

Umm.  It may All be from China.

the Now brand too may just be “manufactured” in USA but the plant it comes from grown in China...
