Note that Hydroxychloroquine is made from quinine. As a prophylaxis to coronavirus SARS-COV-2, consider the following which contains quinine and supplement with Zinc tablets.

"Q Tonic was designed in a kitchen in Brooklyn. Throughout the 2010s, it has gone from gin and tonic geek status to ubiquitous. Widely established as one of the top tonic waters on the market, Q Tonic was a pioneer of the less sweet/more bitter tonic water movement."

"At a mere 45 calories per 7.5 oz, Q Tonic is comparatively lower in calories than most tonic waters on the market. Additionally, Q Tonic is sweetened with agave rather than sugar or corn. Other ingredients include: citric acid, quinine and natural flavors."

Although agave is added, it is still bitter. Consider adding some Monk Fruit sweetener if the bitter effect doesn't suit you.

I drink tonic water regularly for leg craps but the Quinine content in a 7.5oz container is far lower than “therapeutic level”.

The Quinine content of Tonic water is ~ 65mg/liter and the therapeutic level of Quinine to treat Covvid-19 is 200mg. So would would need to drink ~ 3 liters a day to receive a therapeutic level of Quinine.

You can order BitterMilk online and it has Cinchona Bark. We are tonic-ing every night. I use wine instead of liquor

With a little bit of Stolichnaya the bitterness goes away.

I think, by law, you have to drink 4L of Fever tree, and 6L of Q tonic to get to the 200mg a day of quinine. You'll die of high blood pressure/high blood glucose before you could drink the equivalent of the medical prescription.

With that being said, I'm drinking a gin and fevertree tonic (elderberry) a day+ a mulitvitamin.

I have secured some Quercetin with Bromelain from Amazon, but am awaiting some input from www.medcram.com on how effective it is (and since it goes through the liver. Should be safe, but won't start taking it until I talked to my primary care physician.

It has been proven that hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are ionophores the transport zinc into cells (theoretically the reason it works to stop the inner-cellular reproduction of the virus). I have found no scientific report that quinine alone or quinine in tonic water has a similar function. Perhaps you can point me to a study that proves that it does.

Add salt and lime juice. It almost makes it tolerable!
