Good questions. I too purchased some of this on impulse for myself and family. I was holding onto it to use or give at the first signs of symptoms (loss of taste or smell). I look forward to the comments of FReepers!
I’ve been taking it for years during allergy season — really helps. Also a lot of research in recent years about quercetin combating senescent (”old”) cells in the body. I just recently added zinc sulfate to my daily intake of quercetin.
I saw that thread a week or two ago and bought the zinc quercetin. I take it twice a day with 2500iu D3 and 500g Vit C in the AM.
So far so good...
Quercetin is a godsend for me with my mast cell disorder.
I’ve been taking 500 mg/day Quercetin with 50 mg zinc since mid March. Spoke with my doc at my annual checkup and his observation was:
1) this probably won’t hurt you any (and so far, so good)
2) you do realize that there isn’t a shred of real data that this will do you any good at all.
(He’s a real “RCT is the only science” kind of guy, but otherwise OK.)
Has it happens, this is pretty much what Dr. Zelenko thinks might be a workable pre-exposure prophylaxis dosing if HCQ is not available for political reasons.
