Dr. Vladimir Zelenko became a hero for his early use of hydroxychloroquine to fight COVID. Sadly, his efforts were halted by a Democrat governor. But Dr. Zelenko didn’t stop. He kept working — and found an over-the-counter way to help people. Watch: Here is Dr. Zelenko talk about “the bullet and gun” approach for understanding zinc ionophores (transcript of highlights is below):
Here is a transcript of highlights from the video: Dr. Zelenko: “Zinc is the bullet – it kills the virus. The only problem is the bullet doesn’t get to the place where it needs to be.
The virus is inside the cell. The enzyme is inside the cell. And the zinc on its own cannot get into the cell. You have a bullet without a gun – useless.
Now, it turns out there’s a class of medications called ‘zinc ionophores’ or a class of substances called ‘zinc ionophores’ — what they do — is they open up a channel, a door, which allows zinc to go from outside the cell to inside the cell.
There are four of them that are readily available – two of them are prescription and two of them are over-the-counter.
The two prescription ones everyone has heard of: Hydroxycholorquine and Ivermection.
They’re the guns that shoot the bullet. The bullet then gets into the cell and stops the virus enzyme from helping the virus replicate.
So you have a gun and bullet. Only the synergy of the two creates a functioning unit.
S in april of last year, Cuomo issued an executive order that was directly targeting me and my patients – because I was the only one in the state doing it. Where pharmacies would not dispense hydroxychloroquine to patients. So all of a sudden, I had a gun and a bullet approach, but…he took away the zinc delivery system — at least he took away access to my patients.
So I was forced by necessity to innovate. I did more research, and on the NIH servers of all places, I found papers saying a substance called quercetin is a zinc delivery system, as well. It’s a zinc ionophore.
To be honest, I’d never heard of quercetin. So I googled it and I see it’s over-the-counter.
That was one of the most significant realizations in my life and probably in humanity.
Why do I say that? Because now there was a cure for tyranny.
There are two risk factors for dying from COVID: It’s the doctor you choose and the government you live under. Besides that, there’s no reason a person should die from COVID.
Now, you don’t need a doctor and now you don’t need permission from the government. You can go to a pharmacy or go to a supermarket and buy an over-the-counter option of quercetin together with Zinc and Vitamin C and Vitamin D.
Together it creates a very powerful immune-boosting nutritional supplement. According to the FDA, I’m not allowed to make any claims except that it’s an immune booster and nutritional supplement. So what I’m going to say is the following: Quercetin and Vitamin C together form a functioning zinc ionophore — a zinc delivery system. Zinc is what it delivers, so you actually need zinc as well. You need the gun and the bullet.
And Vitamin D – the studies all show – Vitamin D3 levels between 50 and 70 virtually eliminate hospitalizations or admissions in the intensive care unit. It optimizes their immune system. So you need Vitamin D, then you need Zinc, which is the bullet. And then to form a functioning gun, you need Vitamin C and quercetin…
Patients were having trouble sourcing it, because it was four different ingredients that weren’t always available in the same place. They had trouble finding the right doses.
It was a puzzle that was a little too complex for people to put together.
So I was asked as a necessity — as a favor to people — to produce something that has everything in one package.
It made sense to me, so with the help of my colleagues, we were able to produce a substance — a compound called Z-Stack that has Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and most importantly has quercetin and zinc.”

“In the present work, a more soluble quercetin utilizing a delivery system based on food-grade lecithin—Quercetin Phytosome—was developed. The solubility of quercetin in that formulation was shown to be considerably higher than that of unformulated quercetin, leading to a significant improvement in quercetin bioavailability when the new formulation was administered to human volunteers in a clinical study. “
excellent info - thanks!
For those looking for other ways to get Quercitin, there are lots of good foods that can be consumed with Quercitin in them: https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/quercetin-foods
BTW, I love red onions :)
Why do wait between the quercitin and zinc?
Amazon offers an equivalent product as a 2 pack with 120 capsules for about $34.00 which is far less than the $55.00 cost through Zelensky’s website.
I've been taking these for the past couple of weeks while I've had Covid--but I'm now getting better.
Fantastic...
So when do you take the Quercetin? I was taking it with a 50 mg zinc in the AM and another 50 mg Zinc in the evening. I use Vit C powder in my herbal tea daily and take 2 - 5000 Unit of Vit D, plus Beta Carotene. I am allergic to the sun, although I no longer have anaphylaxis and I take Singular to help control the histaminic reaction. I’ not certain how much Vit B I absorb since I can only get limited amounts naturally. Not sure my body can even uptake it, honestly. I take Melatonin 10-20 mg nightly as directed by my neurologist.
I’ve been taking a multi vitamin with yummy Elderberry gummies for a long time and just added zinc and NAC....so those are my drugs.....
You know, I can’t remember exactly where I read that recommendation but is was stated in no uncertain terms that the Quercetin and Zinc should be taken “separately”
It was reliable enough of a source to cause me to change my dosing habit though.
1000 mg C
5000 IU D3
500 mg Quercetin
600 mg NAC
50 mg Zinc
1x Daily
I’ve been drinking green tea for a while now, plus C, D and Zinc. All of the above are generally a good idea, anyway, over an above COVID protection. Whenever exposed to COVID, I drink an extra cup of green tea per day for a while. Good stuff.
Interesting, I take my Quercitin and Zinc together. Which do you take first and how far apart?
I only take 1 Quercetin 30 minutes before lunch (recommended to take 30 minutes prior to meal) then I take the Zinc and hour or so later.
That’s actually a lot of Zinc.....possibly overkill. If you take Quercetin 50mg is plenty and if you don’t, no amount of Zinc will help you much because it will not be absorbed.
Thank you laying it out. I wasnt quite sure of the daily amount.
It contains zinc but I wonder what it also has?
