Quercetin warrants further study as potential adjuvant therapy for COVID-19, says recent research
Two recent studies have found that quercetin supplementation may be an effective adjuvant therapy for the treatment of COVID-19.
The Importance of Zinc and Quercetin During Pandemic
Are you missing something vital for flu and covid-19 protection? If you have been reading my weekly columns, you should know about the importance of vitamin D3 and K for immune system health. You should know that vitamin C is anti-viral and anti-bacterial and if taken in multiple dosages daily when ill can really help the body out. You should also know that elderberry concentrate has extremely high levels of anti-viral properties and is very good support for respiratory illnesses.
So what is missing from this viral protection plan? Zinc. Zinc is vital for immune system function. Zinc controls immune system messaging within the cells and is also an anti-oxidant (prevents cell damage) and is anti-inflammatory. In cellular lab cultures, zinc has been shown to stop viral reproducing in minutes. One study showed that zinc inhibited SARS coronavirus in test tubes. For zinc to work effectively in the body to boost immune system function, zinc has to be pushed into the cells which would require an ionophore.
An ionophore is a substance that transports particles across the cell wall barrier into the center of the cell. The center of the cell is where zinc needs to be to have the immune system effect. Viruses reproduce in the center of the cells. Zinc needs to be in the center of the cell to stop viral reproduction. An all-natural zinc ionophore is quercetin. Quercetin is a plant pigment found in red wine, onions, apples, berries and green tea. Quercetin is one of the most abundant anti-oxidants found in our diet and itself has strong anti-viral properties. The major benefit of taking quercetin with zinc is that the quercetin will push the zinc into the center of the cell where the zinc can stop the virus from reproducing.
Based on this information, zinc and quercetin are absolutely needed in your anti-viral war chest and should be taken daily all winter long and or immediately at the first sign of illness.
