Can what you do help you prevent getting COVID 19?
There is the usual advice: masks, hand santizing, avoid indoor rooms with people, and if you need to be in an enclosed space, wear a mask and limit to less than 15 minutes. But are there ways to optimize your health so you are not as susceptible?
Many people think yes. I wrote a blog a while back, and Vitamin D seems to be one of those thoughts. There are other things flying around, and a doctor group I am in seemed to agree with most of these recommendations. So I thought I would share. (Please review this with your doctor. This is NOT medical advice)
The following “cocktail” may help prevent or lessen COVID 19:
- Vitamin C 500mg twice a day
- Quercetin 250 mg once a day
- Zinc 30-50 mg/day
- Melatonin (slow release) Begin with 0.3 mg and increase as tolerated to 2 mg at night (Do at night! Melatonin is known as a sleep aid)
- Vitamin D3 1000-3000 units/day
- B complex vitamins
- Famotidine 20-40 mg/day
I have not seen any scientific data on the above except for the Vitamin D. But for those out there who are trying to optimize your health as flu season approaches, most of these are pretty benign things to take.
