COVID-19: might want to add a couple supplements - drussell41 - 04-21-2021
I assume most are aware of the advice to take Vitamin D and zinc regarding COVID-19. However, a new study came out that indicates it might be a good idea to add a couple other supplements: probiotics and omega-3. I assume everyone interested in supplements is already taking a good multivitamin. Although this study didn't show zinc was correlated with decreased risk of a positive test, I'm still taking it. Maybe the zinc needs quercetin or that green tea substance to actually be effective, and they don't include those. Anyway, I thought this was interesting and that others might want to see it.

Not a vitamin scientists here.
Sometime though, aren't a combination of supplements (minerals, vitamins, etc.) required for something to work? I read through the article (at least what I could understand) and it seemed the various supplements were tested individually. Or I could really be missing something.
Zinc by itself does little except other things need it to work for example.

Thanks for this information. You know I'm always looking at this sort of thing and learning as I go.

What I read was to take the zinc with about half a glass of tonic water, the kind that has quinine in it.
Something about one part allowed the cells to absorb the other part and, in doing so, making it difficult for the virus to attach to the cell.
Some logic in it; quinine was used as a preventative for malaria, although that is caused by a parasite and not a virus. Don't know if 'quinine water' can still be had, it would probably be better than tonic water if the quinine concentration is higher.
Cheers

I agree. It's not really clear whether they were taken in combo or not, was it?

I don't know.
