Another question:
Dr. Zev recommends:
Zinc 25mg (elemental) once a day (OTC)
What is meant by “ELEMENTAL” Zinc? There are so many different types of Zinc available, I want to get the best type!
Bump for later
You’ve already been exposed to this bug. Everyone has. Didn’t drop dead, did you? Didn’t think so.
Bump
Good find

Well, I have a friend going in for an infusion, tomorrow, and she tested negative. (Hospital required the cv test, prior to procedure.)
You said EVERYONE has it.
Do you have a source for that?
TIA.
You do have to for HCQ. In the US, it is still prescription only. It shouldn't be, but it is.
I am 68, with multiple comorbidities. If I had reason to think I was infected with coronavirus, I think I'd go for HCQ, even if I needed to get it from an online MD service. I'd feel more certain that the dosage and efficacy was optimal.
Fortunately, I don't have to do that, because I have rheumatoid athritis, and so I have a HCQ prescription from my rheumatologist.

Don't buy a supplement with Zinc Oxide, the absorption is so low (3%). On the chart, it looks like a lot (80% elemental Zinc) BUT you can't absorb much of it. It's 80% but mostly non-absorbable. Zinc-fortified cereals like Total, use Zinc Oxide. Total waste!
But don't exceed Dr. Z's recommendation, either. 50 mg is plenty. If you take more than that, it can interfere with the absorption of other important things (like Iron and Copper) and it could give you stomach aches.
Bttt
Thank you for your very helpful replies...I have purchased zinc, quinine, and quercetin—but have been unsure of dosages, etc. I feel more confident now :)
Mind your manners.

You did not answer my question...instead you deflected by asking a question.
I did not think you could source it. I seriously doubt that everyone has been exposed to this virus (at least not yet) because the number of new cases and positive tests is not static.
Can I source it? No, but then I did not make a blanket unsubstantiated statement...
“You did not answer my question”
So? Did that hurt your feelings?
You claim you have not been exposed and so we should continue to close our country and do stupid and useless things like wear masks. Prove it.
Thank you.
For best dosage and absorption, you can buy Zinc 50mg elemental as Zinc acetate, Zinc sulfate, or Zinc monomethionine as an OTC supplement online or at any drug store.
Truly most helpful thread of the quarter if not the year :)

FRiend, my feelings are not hurt...actually I feel fine about your not supporting your claims. Your posts just make you look triggered and uninformed.
However I do find it rather annoying that not only will you not support your claim, but you are now putting words in my mouth.
I never said “and so we should continue to close our country and do stupid things like war a mask...” and again, I don’t have to prove anything...least of all to someone who won’t support a statement and puts words in my mouth.
You try to have yourself a nice day...maybe do some research and get some new reading glasses so you can read what people actually post.
