“Oh...that’s what I stock up on, during a pandemic...toasted seaweed”

We prepped early, so I was able to attend to the details. I love the Wasabi ones.

Bought some last week.

LOL...we stocked up, early, as well.

And, no, toasted seaweed was NOT one of my details/luxuries.

I don't know.

I do take PQQ with mitoQ. It was just a self-experiment a couple of years ago while I was researching other metabolites. On Amazon people kept commenting on how it reversed their grey hair. What the heck. Started taking it and it reduced my existing salt and pepper to almost nothing. Wife started shortly afterward.

There is significant interest and ongoing research on it, however I have not explored it. A quick scan of Unbound Medicine listed 368 papers.

A recent publication:

Pyrroloquinoline quinone attenuates isoproterenol hydrochloride-induced cardiac hypertrophy in AC16 cells by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway

You got my interest. ;-)

[Jane Long]

You did?

I saw this as a pop up ad, on an article link site.

Do you remember where you ordered yours from?

I’m thinking this is a flybynight China site, that had the pop up.

Very cool idea, though!

[PA Engineer]

I agree. It escaped and they let infected the world to turn it to their favor.

I actually bought them on Ebay. They come, supposedly, on Thursday. I saw them and figured, “eh, it can’t hurt”

[PA Engineer]

I heard part of the problems were related to medical examiners being overloaded.

Adding this info on a possible treatment no one has mentioned...

“ Artemisinin is a natural product derived from the Chinese herb Artemisia annua (figure 1). During the Vietnam War, Ho Chi Minh asked Mao Zedong for help, because more North Vietnamese soldiers were dying from malaria than from armed conflicts. The Chinese government launched a program to find new antimalarial drugs. As a result, Tu Youyou, a Chinese scientist from the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Beijing, China), identified artemisinin as the active compound of A. annua in 1972 [1]. Its overwhelming antimalarial activity was demonstrated in numerous clinical studies by Chinese and Western scientists. Despite this success, the true potential of artemisinin was underestimated in the Western world for many years [2]. In the meantime, the World Health Organization officially recommends artemisinin and its derivatives, such as artesunate and artemether, for the treatment of malaria, particularly as a part of combination therapies with other antimalarial drugs.”
