It probably depends on other factors. I’m binge-ing on Zinc, Vitamin D3 with K and Vitamin C so I am ready if the hammer falls.

Fever Tree tonic with Bittermilk bitters added for quinine

One of the best things you can do for your immune system is eat low carb. I think one of the reasons the China virus is taking so many diabetics is that high blood sugar wrecks the immune system.

I just saw this, on Fever Tree’s website...

HOW MUCH QUININE DO YOU USE IN EACH BOTTLE?

All of our tonic waters contain quinine at a level permitted by the FSA and the FDA; the exact amount we use in each flavor is a closely guarded secret. However, in every product, the proportion of quinine is still very significantly below the levels found in anti-malaria drugs.

IF I DRINK ENOUGH OF YOUR TONIC WOULD IT HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS TAKING A DOSE OF HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE?

No, anti-malaria drugs contain a significantly higher amount of quinine than tonic water so we would not advise using our tonic water for anything other than making a delicious drink to keep your spirits up during this difficult time.

Sounds like a very nice tonic water, though :-)

Be careful - excess doses of several of those can give you liver damage among other problems.

And I don’t know what “excess” is. I imagine it’s what ever amount the recommended dose is times a lot - enough to damage lab rats. But just be aware.
